I couldn't get JSON to work since I really don't know how to send a JSON message via php.
However, I did find a (not so pretty) solution! Instead of directly executing the effect script, I placed it in a shell script that I uploaded to the remote Pi.

#!/bin/bash
sudo hyperion-remote -p 50 -e "Knight rider" -d 6000

The php file now executes the shell script using:

exec("sshpass -p 'pass' ssh osmc@192.168.1.33 sudo ./shellscriptfile");

And this works! It seems that Hyperion won't start the effect if the command comes from a remote machine - even though it outputs that the effect has started. One disadvantage though: there's a huge delay (multiple seconds) between calling the php script and the effect execution. So if there's a way to pass the command directly to the remote machine using JSON, that would still be an improvement.

In case anyone's interested: using the mobile app Tasker, Hyperion will now show the Knight Rider effect when somebody calls me on my mobile phone Now that I have Tasker and Hyperion working together, imagine the possibilities! Effects for receiving email, change of colour according to my phone's battery life, etc etc.

What kind of construction would I need to do that? I'm not used to JSON. I have a working script which activates a web stream:

exec('curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \'{"method":"Player.Open","id":44,"jsonrpc":"2.0","params":{"item":{"file":"http://icecast.omroep.nl/radio2-bb-mp3"}}}\' http://192.168.1.33:8080/jsonrpc');

So I combined this with the JSON RPC found here to come up with this result:

exec('curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Addons.ExecuteAddon","params":{"addonid":"script.hyperion","params":{"command":"effect", "effect":"Snake"}}}\' http://192.168.1.33:8080/jsonrpc');

I think the syntax is correct, but this doesn't work. Can you point me in the right direction on how to start an effect remotely by using JSON?

Thanks for your reply. I tried both options but the problem stays the same: it works from the command line, but not from within the php file.

Hi all!
I'm running an ongoing home automation project with two Raspberry Pi's, one has Hyperion installed/connected to it. After a morning's work I figured out how to start an effect using a remote ssh connection from one rPi to another:

sshpass -p 'pass' ssh osmc@192.168.1.33 sudo hyperion-remote -p 50 -e \"Knight rider\" -d 6000 > tempoutput.txt 2>&1

This works, as I can see the effect and read the output in tempoutput.txt. However, I want to start this from within a php script. This is the (same) code:

exec("sshpass -p 'pass' ssh osmc@192.168.1.33 sudo hyperion-remote -p 50 -e \"Knight rider\" -d 6000 > tempoutput.txt 2>&1");

I can see the same output in tempoutput.txt, which would mean the effect is started, but it doesn't. The lights stay off. I'm asuming that the remote ssh does work since a ping test works fine, but I have no clue what could be the case here.
Who can help me?
