Kodi integration with Samsung SmartThings

SmartThings-Kodi

This is a SmartApp which allows you to control Kodi, where HTTP control has been enabled.

Controlling Kodi through SmartThings has the additional benefit that you are also be to trigger events in SmartThings based on events in Kodi, or visa versa. Such as 'Someone is at the door, pause playback', or 'Kodi is playing, dim the living room lights'.

Install the 'Kodi Manager' SmartApp from your mobile device, specify your Kodi IP and Kodi login details. This will then create a device for that kodi device.
