TUTORIAL - Sonos Remote VD (using node-sonos-api)

[Bezan 2]

Yes, when saved it is again correct now.... But it happens randomly after few days... Would be good to handle it somehow

I'm away at the moment but will take a look when I get back and see if I can make a few recommendations...

 

Glad it fixed it for now

Hello everybody,

 

it is possible to play an MP3 file from a NAS (Synology). There is indeed the clip command, but this refers only to the folder

 

Thanks for your help Beijonig

@Beijonig

Unfortunately not, for now the mp3 needs to be in the clips folder

Hi,

 

I added to the previous VD code code to track more states of the Sonos including if the player is offline / online

The code below is for one player - repeater as many times as you have zones

It uses a statetable global to track changing states and smart message hub to send messages (one message when it goes offline an done message when it comes back online) - adjust as you need

 

Please login or register to see this code.

and the result is

The previous code didn't handle if a player went offline 

This one should work better with messages at appropriate times

Hi,

Is it possible to send "Night audio" On/Off command from Fibaro?

I would like to set Night audio after 20:00 and turn it Off 8:00.

 

Anyone tried this?

@BezanI created a toggle button for my VD to switch Night Mode. Here is my code:

To switch on or off at certain times, you can either create separate VD buttons for ON and OFF and call these from a scene, or you could call the HTTP command directly from a scene.

This doesn't happen for me 

[jimicr 90]

Hi @sjekke, You'll have to manually update.

Just check the github once in a while

In github you can put a “watch” on a repository. You will then get update notifications should anything change.

On the Raspberry it works wonderfully. Now I want to install it on the Synology. Does anyone have a guide?
