| page | Plex Activity Monitor | How to add a Plex sensor to Home Assistant. | 2016-06-3 08:19 | true | false | true | true | plex.png | Media Player | 0.22 | Local Polling |
The plex sensor platform will monitor activity on a given Plex Media Server. It will create a sensor that shows the number of currently watching users as the state. If you click the sensor for more details it will show you who is watching what.
If your Plex server is on the same local network as Home Assistant, all you need to provide in the configuration.yaml is the host or IP address. If you want to access a remote Plex server, you must provide the Plex username, password, and optionally the server name of the remote Plex server. If no server name is given it will use the first server listed. If you use the username and password, all servers in that account are monitored.
If you don't know your token, see Finding your account token / X-Plex-Token.
If you want to enable the plex sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: plex
{% configuration %} host: description: The IP address of your Plex server. required: false default: localhost type: string port: description: The port of your Plex Server. required: false default: 32400 type: integer name: description: Name of the Plex server. required: false default: Plex type: string username: description: The username for the remote Plex server. required: false type: string password: description: The password for your given account on the remote Plex server. required: false type: string server: description: The name of your remote Plex server. required: false type: string token: description: X-Plex-Token of your remote Plex server. required: false type: string ssl: description: Use HTTPS to connect to Plex server, NOTE host must not be an IP when this option is enabled. required: false default: false type: boolean {% endconfiguration %}
