This sensor platform will monitor activity on a given Plex Media Server. It will create a sensor that shows the number of currently watching users as the state. If you click the sensor for more details it will show you who is watching what.
If your plex server is on the same local network as Home Assistant, all you need to provide in the configuration.yaml is the host or ip address. If you want to access a remote plex server, you must provide the plex username, password, and optionally the server name of the remote plex server. If no server name is given it will use the first server listed.
Example Configuration:
sensor:
platform: plex
name: Plex Spy *optional, default Plex
host: 192.168.1.100 *optional, default localhost
port: 32400 *optional, default 32400
username: plexuser *optional, use for remote access
password: plexpw *optional, use for remote access
server: MyPlexServer *optional, use for remote access
