To use this plugin, you'll have to install and test lightmanager-c-ext first.
lightmanager-c-ext makes communication with jBMedia's Lightmanager possible.
It can be installed on the same system, or running as a server on any other system.
Once lightmanager-c-ext is installed and working, you can proceed to install this add-on in Kodi, so you can setup and control your LightManager devices from within Kodi.
Download the zip file for this add-on and rename it to "script.lightmanager.zip" (remove "-master" from the name)
Put it somewhere on your system so you can reach it from Kodi's Add-on installer (your home folder, for example)
From within Kodi, install the Add-on:
--> System --> Settings --> Add-ons --> Install from zip file
After that, the add-on should be installed and ready to be setup.
Go to the Lightmanager setup page, and add the lights/devices you want to control.
The first device is setup as a dummy.
If you want to add a device, enter a name for your device in the last "name" field. The other settings that are required will become visible when the name-field is no longer empty.
You can set a maximum of 26 devices and scenes.
In the "General Settings" tab, select how you will be running lightmanager:
- Local: lightmanager is installed on this system, and only used from here.
- Remote: lightmanger is installed on another system, and running as server.
- Server: lightmanager is installed on this system, and used as server.
If lightmanager is installed and connected to this system, browse to the location of your lightmanager executable (created when installing lightmanager-c-ext)
If you're required to use "sudo" when running the lightmanager executable (to access USB devices), also set your sudo password.
You can check if the add-on works without a password. You will get a notification if it does not.
If you will be running lightmanager as a server, also provide the Port to connect to.
If you have any FS20 devices, enter your housecode in the appropriate field.
When you're using a remotely installed lightmanager, enter the IP address and Port of the system where the server is installed and running.
To access the add-on from anywhere inside Kodi, I recommend you install the add-on "Keymap Editor".
It is available from the Kodi add-on repository.
Look here if you want to set the keymap manually.
