[Help] How to Call/Open a URL in VD Button

[Joystick 2]

Hi all,

I setup  a raspberry pi with homebridge and also the sonos-http-api server.

 

Everything is working really great, however, I am a little stuck here:

 

I would like to call (open) a Url on a VD buttonpress to start the sonos function (especially the TTS).

Format of the URL is quite simple: "

to say"

 

How can I do this?

 

cheers

Something like this might push you in the right direction (not tested)

 

Put it in the VD's button and set it to LUA code.

First of all thanks, but it is not working that way.

I do not get an error though...

I'll be getting my Sono tomorrow, and I will be doing some testing this week.

I want to get this to work also

Hi, I was just wondering if you found a solution for this issue.

To me this actually seems to be a simple task, where I thought this should be doable quite easy....unfortunately I do not have any experience with Lua.

 

cheers

I'm short on time at the moment to install homebridge and the sonos-http-api server on myRaspberry pi.

Do you maybe have a link to a how to, so I do not have to spend too much time on installing it!

Thank you for the link's.

 

I might have time to look at it sometime next week (really busy at the moment).

Did you try this?

Had a quick go at it, but when doing a TTS call (ie: /sayall/Hello, dinner is ready) it will crash the node.

I'm sure that I've missed something in the setup, but what...

I'll have a look at it later when I've got some more time.

but I dont even get the first log lines.... it seems that it crashes directly at the first lines...

This works for me on pauseall and some of the other Sonos Http Api functions (did not test all)

 

For me it does NOT work with the say function as it's using a "depreciated" way of converting text to speech!

(well it looks like this in my Sonos Http Api code)

 

The code below will do the same as typing the following in your browser:

Note that the 10.0.0.105 is the IP of my Raspberry Pi. You will need to change this.

Also note that you will not get any response back from the code!

Does the function say work for you?

If so, can you have a look at the file say.js (it's in /node-sonos-http-api-master/lib/actions), and post the line 211 and 212 here?

I copied some piece of Code (mainly to get German Language Support) off the issue section :

instead of the "nerd.host" line I added:

var url_lang;

switch (language) {

case "de":

url_lang = "de-de";

break;

default:

url_lang = "en-us";

}

var tts_request = '

+ url_lang + '&src=' + phrase;

It is working right know together with fibaro,

BUT only with a one Word TTS message. As soon as i put in a whole sentence with space nothing is working.

[Guest 22]

Try adding the following between the words

Please login or register to see this code.

ie: this is a test

 

Also.. When posting code here try to use the [c o d e] [/ c o d e] tags (remove spaces between code and /code) it will make reading code much easer for all!

Or try to urlencode the string:

 

function urlencode(s)
  if (s) then
    s = string.gsub (s, "\n", "\r\n")
    s = string.gsub (s, "([^%w ])",
    function © return string.format ("%%%02X", string.byte©) end)
    s = string.gsub (s, " ", "+")
  end
  return s
end
 

txt2say = urlencode("Hello Joystick")

[Guest 22]

Okay.. this works... Use %20 as a space!

ie: Hello%20this%20is%20a%20test.

Cool, i also tried \32 which didn't work...

Great, now let's go on and figure of how to use variables like weather, time etc.

Weather is not really hard to do.

 

Something like this should work for temperature.
