For the last month I've worked on a firefox plugin that allows me to send webhooks to my home assistant.

In my living room I have a linux pc connected to my TV and I'm using this in 2 ways:

- Automatically set lights when media starts/stops playing. This way I can turn on some accent lighting when I pause a movie to go to the bathroom and automatically turn them off when I resume the movie

- When media is playing I calculate the color that best represents the content and export it to home assistant use it as a poor man 'ambilight' with a led strip strategically placed behind my TV

I think the next logical step is to find a way to automatically track the content I'm watching so I can have some high level stats about my viewing habits.
