FortePC

Ah! that seems pretty obvious in hindsight thanks!

I'm in between jobs, so I decided to let my Floatplane subscription lapse this month, but I recently realized that I'm still receiving new video notifications. The first few I assumed were flukes as the system realized I'm no longer subscribed, but it's been weeks. When I click on the notification, it just takes me to a blank screen in the Floatplane app. Also, when I open the notifications settings menu in the app, there are no settings available to change, since I've got no active subscriptions. I'm not complaining; I like getting a sneak peek at the titles of the FP exclusives that I'm missing. However, I figured the team would want to know about this bug. My username is "Forte" on floatplane if that helps you track the bug down.

The magic piping all this into Home Assistant instead of just using dumb motion sensor switches is that you can combine the motion sensor with any other sensor to make that switching smarter. For example, you can say "If media is still actively playing, don't turn things off, but when it does finish the currently playing media activate intermission mode, then if nothing happens within 10 minutes turn everything back off " Or he could say something like "Hey Google, activate movie night mode" which would tell home assistant to set the lights and screen to a specific scene, then override the usual auto-off automations for the reminder of that night. With Home Assistant able to pull in so much info the possibilities are endless how you can combine those sensors.

No, the motion sensors are PIR based, it wouldn't recognize movement on a screen. You can look up how PIR motion sensors work and what kinds of motion they detect. If Linus wanted to do something based on media playing on the screen though that is possible in other ways.

If you're willing to go a bit more DIY ESPHome is also really good option. It works perfectly with Home Assistant and comes highly recommended by the Home Assistant community

Entirely agree! I've been using Home Assistant for quite a while now. Just try out the demo site! https://demo.home-assistant.io
