HAKA!

This is an Home Assistant Kodi Addon (HAKA!)



Prerequisites:
- Home Assistant 2021.2.1 or higher (older versions have a different API)
- Kodi 18 or Kodi 19

Installation

1. Download the addon from the official Kodi addon repository (Kodi 19 - Matrix) or from Github ( Kodi 18 - Leia)

2. In Home Assistant navigate to your profile (bottom icon in the side-menu).

3. Scroll down and generate a long life token (long live the tokens!).

4. Write down the token / carve it in a stone / memorize / use a carrier pigeon and send it to yourself or.... just copy the token.

5. Launch Kodi >> Add-ons >> Get More >> .. >> Install from zip file

6. Enter your Home Assistant IP and port (i.e. https://myfancypansyhainstallation.duckdns.org:8123)

7. Enter the token obtained in step four (don't forget to release the pigeon if you used one)

8. Set up the domains you would like to browse from your couch.

Enjoy!

Thanks, yes I considder submitting it to the Kodi repo but I think I`ll wait for Kodi 19 to be released (as I dont want to maintain 2 versions). Beside that I think I`ll carry out quite some changes in the coming period so I dont considder it that stable yet.

Coiol , just found this one

Controlling kodi from HA?

Anyway
I'm running kodi on shield

The difference is in the entities you control and the place where you control it. So image yourself turn on a light or start your vacuum from your tv / shield without the need to grab your phone / laptop.

If you have the web interface of Kodi installed (Like Chorus or any other) you can open that in your browser and copy paste the token from HA to Kodi (regardless if its shield or any other platform)

I do have chorus
However i cant get into the settings of the  addon through chorus

Otherwise that would rock indeed

You can copy/paste such tokens directly into the addons settings file, if your Kodi device has an access route like SSH or similar terminal.

Can you help me with that on shield?
Edit:
Just found this
For add-ons you don't need to SHH, just use the built in SMB on the Shield and from a PC navigate to /internal/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/ then open the add-on folder and edit what ever you need to.

And this

and restarted but no go

Exactly what I was about to suggest to try, although it's somewhat cumbersome and awkward too.

I'd expect there are SSH server apk's for Android, but whether they work well or indeed if they would do the job with access to the relevant files I have no idea. I don't own an Android box (but use SSH on my Pi's to set up such tokens, including one for this addon).

updated the settings but it doesnt work? see above
