PlexHue

Automatically modify the state of your Philips Hue lights upon certain Plex playback events. Requires a Plex Pass.

Usage

1. Install NodeJS v14.15.x
2. Clone this repository to your local disk.
3. Copy config.example.json to config.json.
4. Modify config.json as you wish.
5. Set up a Plex Webhook to point to the server and port running PlexHue
   • i.e. Add a Webhook with URL http://localhost:8085 if your Plex server is running on the same machine as PlexHue, and you're using the default PlexHue port of 8085.
6. Run node .\index.js and follow the instructions.

Enjoy!
