Hueflix

This is a small app that provides a service to automatically start a Philips Hue Scene whenever you start a Netflix Movie on your Smart-TV or Chromecast, and start another scene when pausing. It uses the fact that the Netflix Notification gets updated 5 times when pressing play and 3 times when pressing Pause.

MIN-SDK Version is 21 because of the MediaSession that Netflix uses. While there is no code that uses API level 21 (despite the theming), it probably wouldn't work below it.

Warning

I haven't tested this app on any device other than my OnePlus 3T so far. It might not work on your device!

To-Do

  • I know that there are apps on the Play-Store (for example Sleep Timer) that directly read the notifications, so it probably is possible. I haven't figured out a way to do that so far, any help on that would be greatly appreciated.
  • The app has no logo yet because I suck at Design, soooo...
