IDEA: How to Control Vera with PLEX

I want to be able to control lights based on play/pause/stop state of PLEX.

I have been researching how to control Vera with Plex. And since im not a programmer, can’t develop my own app.

The only things I found were a plugin for Unraid (which I’m not using) and for Hue (which I’m also not using).

BUT…here is an idea, please let me know what you think, as I am unfamiliar with the Hue interface.

  1. Install the Hue Plex plugin.
  2. Install a Virtual Hue Bridge to receive webhooks data from Plex.
  3. Install a Hue App on Vera (which I assume could interact with the Virtual Hue Bridge?)
  4. Use Reactor to control lights based on vera Hue app.

Do you think this could work?

Here are the links I read which got me thinking down this path and which describe a portion of the setup process if it were using the Hue Bridge:
