Use intent to switch media center

Support Solved
1

I’m trying to use the docs to create an automation i home assistant to automatically switch the chosen media center but can’t seem to get it to work.

I have successfully used Macrodroid in the past to send intents but yatse API has changed since and now I’m struggeling to get it to work.

Using node red I can succesfully send the message to my phone, but media center doesn’t change

{
    "message": "command_broadcast_intent",
    "data": {
        "ttl": 0,
        "priority": "high",
        "intent_package_name": "org.leetzone.android.yatsewidgetfree",
        "intent_action": "tv.yatse.api.SELECT_MEDIACENTER",
        "intent_extras": "ID:7"
    }
}

I have also tried replacing "intent_package_name": with org.leetzone.android.yatsewidgetfree/tv.yatse.api.ApiReceiver with the same result.

Home assistant companion app docs can be found here: Notification Commands | Home Assistant Companion Docs

what am I missing?

The logs :slight_smile:

Sorry, finally got around to play with this again.

I tested sending the intent through Home assistant, aswell as through Macrodroid (see settings)

Checking the logs, it seems none of these were catched by Yatse. I made sure to enable debug before broadcasting/sending the intent

Macrodroid settings where I also tried adding:
org.leetzone.android.yatsewidgetfree/tv.yatse.api.ApiReceiver to Class and also to Data

I also tried changing Target from Service to Broadcast

So yes it does not reach the app you need to see with those tools for their logs to see the issue.

For macro droid.
The target is Broadcast
the package is org.leetzone.android.yatsewidgetfree
the class is tv.yatse.api.ApiReceiver

Alright, seems I never got the combination right.

Intents work perfect after configuring per your last reply. Big thanks and keep up the great work on the best kodi remote ever made :sun_with_face:
