Wink Hub

[OrangeTang 0]

Hello,

I'm pretty new to all of this and I'm not too familiar with coding or anything so I'm having a bit of trouble with this, I hope someone can help. I have a Wink Hub that I would like to use in cinemavision but I'm not sure how to set up the cvaction file. I tried to find a guide but I couldn't find one for Wink and unlike Hue there doesn't seem to be action files available for download. If anyone can help guide me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Hello OrangeTang,

I'm looking through the documentation for the API.  One thing it looks like is that you might need to sign up to get an access to the api.  

https://home-assistant.io/components/wink/

With the authorization token we should be able to format an action file to get your lights to work.  We would just need to put an authorization line in the action file to send along with the URL needed .  

I've found the following links with some info. 

http://docs.wink.apiary.io/# and

 

They are using CURL but the authorization as Bearer getting sent is useful.  I believe something similar was done with LiFX bulbs.  If you get the token we can definitely try and help get you going!

Hi,

So I have the authorization token already, I'm just not sure how to use it to make the action file so that I can implement it in cinemavision. I read through the API documentation but I'm not a programmer so I'm not sure what to do with that information. Ideally I'd like to have a scene on my hub be turned off when a movie starts and turn back on once it finishes playing. Thank you for the help.

Hello,

Lets try this 

https://api.wink.com/scenes/YOUR_SCENE_ID/activate
HEADERS: {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"}

You should be able to setup your scenes on Wink.  Put those 2 lines like that within your action file and save it.  Obviously just replace the YOUR_SCENE_ID and YOUR_TOKEN with your information.  Let me know if this works.

If you'll help us write a guide for Wink, I'll put together a bunch of Actions for ya.

So I tried this and and ran the test option under actions and I get a mess of red text. I'm not sure what the error means, should I post the red text?

[DexDeadly 17]

Yes, if you could post it we can see what the error is and troubleshoot from there.

Alright, so for some reason Kodi is refusing to open cinemavision. I'm going to do a clean install on my desktop PC and test on here rather than in my media center just to make sure that isn't the issue. I'll post here again when I have an update.

Alright, I have the error here, hopefully it helps.

Hey OrangeTang,

Looking at the log it seems to be an error with Python.  Which is odd.  Which version of Kodi are you installing?  This on Windows or Linux?  

[OrangeTang 0]

I'm running 16.1 Jarvis on windows 10 Pro. I thought it looked like a python issue, I know basically nothing about using python.

[DexDeadly 17]

if you would like to PM me your action file I can test and see if I get the same error.  If you would like to change the scene to a bulb that if I test it doesn't create any issues to. Let me know.

Okay so after talking to our developer, I have an idea of what's going on. This might be something we need to fix in 1.0.12. Python versions lower than 2.7.9 don't handle SSL properly. Kodi 17 will fix this issue, but for Kodi 16 we'll need to come up with a solution. I think our developer has a handle on it, and I'll update the version on the site in the next day or so with the new version that should handle this issue in Kodi 16.

[DexDeadly 17]

Well there we go.  Woo Hoo.
