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

New version 0.0.8 at the bottom of my message.

Hi, I'm trying to use the PayTTS function (rel. 0.0.8).

I get successful with "short" string, but with a longer one, no audio is played from Sonos.

For example, I'm able to play this string:

"Questo è un test per vedere quanto puo essere lungo il messaggio che deve essere trasmesso"

but If I add some more, no audio from Sonos, for example:

"Questo è un test per vedere quanto puo essere lungo il messaggio che deve essere trasmesso tramite la Playbar Sonos di sala"

I would like to play the actual and forecast weather but it's a string longer than my examples...

Any suggestion?

Can anyone help with these questions:

CHANGING VOLUME FROM SCENE

I have setup a wall switch (Fibaro Dimmer) to start and stop playing music on my Sonos, but I am struggling to get the volume change to work from a scene.

I am using TCP Post that deeraij shared. The volume slider works perfectly when you physically move it, but when I try to change the volume from a scene the slider reflects the change in volume but the volume doesn't actually change. Any ideas?

PLAYING PLAYLISTS

I am sure it has been asked before, but is there a way to play a Sonos playlist through a scene? If the answer is no, that's fine it would just be good to know if it's possible or not.

Cheers

Aleks

Hi Krikoff,

do you have any suggestion for the problem showed 4 post previous?

Thanks!

[Adam.Bewsher 2]

amilanov and others,

If you are using Krikroff's virtual device, you can use the following code in a scene to change the volume of the sonos player:

Krikroff, thanks for the device, it is a very useful piece.

berga_s,

I get successful with "short" string, but with a longer one, no audio is played from Sonos.

Try to set the duration manually. I have realized that the auto option fails sometimes.

And avoid to insert any "apice" in the string. The TTS traslator will not understand them, at least the Google one (americans do not use apices...

Anyone managed to retrieve the mp3 file from Google translator and store it in HD?

[diderik 6]

Wow! Thanks a lot for the TCP calls! They work great. Just copy and paste to HCL, and there you go, but. I can't figure out:

"Remark: adjust lenght accoring to Soap body."

How can i calculate the the body length. It doesn't seem to be characters nor hex, nor ASCII? Any input?

Thanks!

@Brick

Just use wget or curl to download the file.

[Adam.Bewsher 2]

diderik,

It is the length in characters. But, keep in mind that:

- any characters in the format 0x?? are in HEX will be counted as only 1 character. (So 0x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A is 4 characters long.)

- Not all the characters in the post are counted. For example:

POST /MediaRenderer/AVTransport/Control HTTP/1.1

Content-Length: 266

SOAPACTION: "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:AVTransport:1#Play"

010x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A

Only the characters in bold are counted - there are 266 of them.

Happy automating,

Adam Bewsher

Thanks, a lot Adam! That got me on the roght track!

Hi diderik,

Fantastic to hear!

Any solution in how to play an existing MP3 on a server?

[ Added: 2015-01-10, 22:57 ]

I Also hope someone could help out with a button to group all devices. It would help a lot upon triggering an alarm TTS, or playing radio in whole house when entering home.

Having a lot's off fun with this great Virtual device --> great work, Thank you!.

Did anyone manage to play a Spotify playlist using this Virtual device?

real shame we cannot bypass the 3 second main loop delay as it really does spoil this VD...

A.Socha or anyone? can we have an option to bypass for specific scenarios? maybe introduce a warning to state this is running with no delay for debugging purposes should any instability occur? or even give access to .Net under scenes EVEN BETTER
