I made Physical Plex Player Controller
2 projects | /r/Esphome | 2 Nov 2021

I was able to utilize the HTTP Request component to send control commands to a plex player (macOS Plex Player) using the Plex API. This allows me to directly control the volume, playback and track with two momentary buttons (volume up and down) and a 3-way toggle switch (pause, play, next track). I've published my yaml file to github. The script in the yaml needs to be populated with the server IP address and the 'X-Plex-Target-Client-Identifier' which is the ID of the player being controlled. To find this ID, navigate to http://server_IP_address:32400/clients in the browser, look for the 'machineIdentifier' value of the player to be controlled. Copy that value to the script in ESPHome. Not every player can be controlled, the 'protocolCapabilities' value indicates to what extent each player can be controlled.
