Sonos - Virtual Device

[Guest deraaij]

Update: Please use TCP as of version 3.x as os.execute has been depreciated. As soon as we are able to have custom headers I will update the LUA code.

Hi all,

For those who are interested I made a Virtual Device based on the new LUA feature (inspired on lua code for MIOS) which can control a sonos device. It uses curl but will change it when the http api is documented. Change the IP address accruing to your needs.

EDIT: Added additional comments from other post which I posted in this thread.

EDIT: Changed req.lua --> /tmp/req.lua which works with beta 3.423 & 3.424

Hi

I've tied to get this to work with no luck.

I added a virtual device with the IP to one of my Sons devices and the TCP 1400.

I the added a button, see image, I deleted all tailing spaces.

Nothing happens when i press the button, am I doing anything wrong?

add 0x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A at the end.

add 0x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A at the end.

I've tried that, didn't work.

[Guest deraaij]

you are sure there are no trailing spaces ? (only enters) and or spaces in front of a line?

[Ucciogenerale 2]

Try to remove the space on top, at the end of the first lines.

Nope nothing seams to work, here is how I'll do it:

1. Add a virtual device

Please login or register to see this link.

2. Add a button

Please login or register to see this link.

3. Open sonos and start to play something on speaker 10.6.2.113

4. Pause the music

5. Back to HC2 and try the button

6. Nothing happens

I have 4 sonos speakers, I also attached the "raw" button input so that you can see that I haven't missed any spaces.

Do I hav to do something with my Sonos system?

Can you start with a new virtual device? I had some issues in the past with ones were I deleted buttons.

Hello Deraaj and all of you sonos users !

with newest beta of HC2, I've seen the new field 'main loop'. That would be interesting to poll the volume value in order to update the slider position, but I've no idea on how to proceed... What request is to be sent to a player ?

Also, I've got different icons for paused/stopped and 'any other cases' (

). I'd like to know the state of the player so to update as well the icon. Any hint ?

Thanx in advance for your reply

Edit : maybe could we even add in a label field the current music name

I have done that 10 times.

Can it be that I'm using the latest beta, 3.560?

Hi Sonos bods,

Can anyone advise if there is an add in framework for Sonos that can call a web api on key events?

thanks

I have the same version and works like a charm.

Yes. you can "SUBSCRIBE" on the url "/MediaRenderer/AVTransport/Event" of your sonos. I have made a python script which fires a scene when my livinigroom zone starts to play.

Hi Adv.Usr.deraaij

Thanks for your posts on controlling Sonos via HC2 - really really helpful!

Your last two examples I can't get to work though on a Virtual device via Lua...

I'm getting a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error on the GetVolume example. Would there be any way you could point me in the right direction?

Really appreciate your help!

Thanks

mhhhm strange I tested i with my virtual device and it works, can you post a screen print of your virtual device button (code)?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for replying... I've copied the code word for word from your example (for GetVolume) - just replacing with the IP address of my Sonos Playbar (192.168.0.155).

I've attached the debug output (showing the error)...

Here's the exact code I'm using:

Ok found it. Make sure you delete all the trailing spaces on each line. When you copy paste it it gives you a unwanted space at the end of each line.

Works great! I should have thought of that!!
