I saw a post of the guy doing NFC to get various disney+ and Netflix shows. I’ve installed an integration with ADB… and have no idea how to proceed. Any of you have yaml snippets I can steal to that end?

I really want to be able to turn on the lights, turn on the TV, and start cocomelon for my daughter on Netflix in the basement as a one stop script, but I apparently am not smart enough.

The other guy link is in Reddit so I’m not going to link it but it is really easy to find on Google: an NFC card system for Netflix.

Thanks!

    Good luck. Deep linking to intents that actually start playing a program, if you get it to work today, it will probably stop working next month. Intents are internal to apps, and even if the intent is static, the ID of the content most certainly is not. I had this working as a POC to start playing channels on YouTube TV but the maintenance burden made it utterly not worth it. If the content was local and available to play in Kodi it would be a different story.

      Better off using local Plex then? It seems like it should be so much easier to just send a TV a Netflix url with name of title, but maybe not.

        Yes, Plex would work much better. With Plex you can just use home assistant’s own media_player stuff.
