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

Remark: Play is initiated with the last statement to actual play the text (change it accordingly).

Hi Mark,

I don't suppose you've got a bit of Lua code that could fibaro:debug out the response from the Sonos do you? I'm just trying to list of the full response but just adding fibaro:debug(state) after the :read call doesn't work - presumably because there are new line / special chars in the response?

Thanks!

Can't get it working... Tried the TCP version with/without spaces, newlines, counting the payload etcetera. Hard to debug. I'm clueless... Can't use wireshark since I am on a dumb switch without port monitoring

The LUA version barks when I use io.open. Says it's nil. My limited lua knowledge says it's either an issue with file permissions (so i tried different paths, no luck), or the io library has been removed. Anyway... since os.execute has been or will be removed, this is a dead end too, isn't it? Is this the case in 3.570?

Please "Enlighten" me

It would be nice if you could select a Spotify playlist in Sonos by using a virtual device in HC2, anyone know if it's possible?

Had the same issue. You are not looking for a specific value?

You should use the TCP version, LUA is not working. What is the error you are getting?

[petergebruers 1,261]

@Adv.Usr.deraaij tnx for asking. As a newbie, I had a difficult time piecing it all together. But now I have 'Play' and 'Pause' working. I concentrated on debugging virtual devices, so code is bloated. I also used wireshark to confirm the command. So here it is... All comments appreciated!

For 'Pause' you replace the variable 'payload' like this:

Edit: I know I'm not consistent with using 'local' for variables declaration. As mentioned before, copy pasting this script adds trailing spaces at line endings. But this lua-version is immune to that.

I can't get the TCP script working yet. Do I need to do something before to pair the system up with the sonos? When I type in the ipadres with:1400 in my browser I get a 403 access forbidden error.

update1: on another sonos I am getting a response in the browser now, so I entered the code (without the extra spaces on the end of the lines) in the string section of my virtual device with the same settings. Unfortunately I can't control the sonos system yet. Any tips?

update2: it didn't work because the sonos was paired to form a stereo pair. On the ip of the other device Play/pause/stop works. text2speach not yet...

update3: text2speach also works now. Probably I didn't hear it before because of low volume (kids in bed) or because of the delay (it takes a couple of seconds before the message plays, any ways to speed that up?)

[petergebruers 1,261]

Don't know what I did wrong the first time, but now i've got the TCP ("string") version working too. For clarity: I copy/pasted the string from the forum into notepad++ and set the editor to display line endings. Then I removed 3 spaces (as per instructions on this forum), one at the end of each of the first three lines. Clearly, line four is blank and has to stay that way. Then I removed the "0x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A" at the end, which seems unneeded to me. And: voilà. Of course, the right IP (from sonos diagnostics) and port 1400 has to be configured in the virtual device...

I want to buy a Sonos system for my house. Can someone maybe post a small demo of the Text to speech for the Sonos? I am very interested in how this sounds and if it works any good...

You mean a video?

[stevenvd 51]

Something like that would be great

Hello,

Do you have an example on how to "initiate play" after choosing a radiostation?

Today I fist need to press the radio station I want to listen to, and then play... But how do you combine these 2 buttons in one?

[djknight90 0]

Guys,

A really small thing - I modified the original code slightly so the volume feedback actually assigns to the Slider. Otherwise the slider gets out of sync when you change volume with the Sonos App.

Basically you just have to define the variables first (outside the if statement) and then add the line of code at the end. Obviously you need to chance IPs and Device ID's to match your system.

I can't get the volume slider to work with LUA. I got it with tcp but want it with lua.

This is my code

I have looked throw it over and over but can't seem to find the problem. Anyone has a LUA code ready already or can see the error in my code?

Hi,

_sliderValue_ cannot be between quotes, and i do not know for sure it even works in lua. If it works it should be something like"

".." .. _sliderValue_ .. ".."

[mickeys 0]

No that didn't do the trick. Why aren't you sure it will work? All the rest like Play and Stop and so on works just fine with LUA. What is the difference?

Hi, i was trying to implement your great code but with no succeed i keep receiving this error

[ERROR] line 18: attempt to index global 'io' (a nil value)

Do you have any idea what did I miss!

As I tried 100 times to play any sound from network using LUA code, but also with no succeed!!

Those are not using a variable from the virtual device in order to work.

IO has been depreciated. You need to use the TCP version or use LUA and the Net.FTcpSocket. If you tell me what you want to achieve I can point you in the right direction.

Thanks for your swift reply , actually i have sonos play 3

And I was trying to make a scene that can play a sound from the network !!

Because i want my Sonos to play this sound during a fire alarm scene, so is that possible ?!

yes.

you can use tcp:

obviously replace the CurrentURI, set the correct sonos IP and port (1400) and update the Content-Length accordingly.

[stevenvd 51]

oke, this is not efficient!

i am trying to get all those nice code to work. But is difficult with some spaces and stuff.

Can someone export their virtual device and post it?

Oh by the way. Got my set yesterday

Does someone have an updated version of the LUA code to make the sonos talk? as the Os.execute versions don't work anymore.

[ Added: 2014-01-30, 16:57 ]

I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone know if it is possible to do it or to calculate the content length?

Then you could adjust them in code...
