Sonos Speaker Plugin - "Play" / "Resume" with LUA script

[Danielos 3]

Dear all,

 

I'm using the normal "Sonos Speaker" Plugin from the Fibaro Marketplace. I'm struggeling with a simple LUA script to simulate a push "resume" / "play" button on a specified sonos speaker. Can someone help me, how I can realize that? I just want a script to unpause the music, not more..

 

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi @Danielos, seems to me an old or corrupted version. 

 

Please try with the following:

 

1. Remove your SONOS Remote VD from your HC2

2. Go to http://YOUR_IP/fibaro/en/panels/variables.html and delete the variable x_sonos_object

3. Import

4. Configure the VD with port 1400 and Main IP used by your SONOS in case of stereo pair or just the SONOS IP if it is alone.

let me know if the problem is gone

Hello Dan,

 

I have this LUA code for the play button in the VD.

 

Please login or register to see this code.

 

 

You only need to adjust the SonosLastCmdEetkam text to the name you called your variable, exactly the same with capitals and everything.

 

Hope this helps. I can't write LUA code but just copied it from my VD.

Any idea?

 

Thank you very much!

Btw, here is a printscreen of my module. What I need is a LUA script to virtually push the "Play" button.

See the attachment for my VD. I have changed it for you so a lot of buttons are not visible.

 

You first need to create a variable with no value. It's important to remember the name of the variable exactly(with capitals) because you need it in the VD(See screenshot)

Please login or register to see this attachment.

 

 

 

Now import my VD. Fill in the padres of your Sonos speaker with port 1400.

Please login or register to see this attachment.

 

 

 

Go to the advanced tab and you need to replace the XXXXX in each LUA code of each button with the name of the variable you just created. Remember the name has to be exactly with what you have noted in the variable panel.

Now the VD remote should work. I have a Sonos Play 5 2nd gen, so I can only test it with this unit.

These buttons/labels are in the VD.

 

 

Hope this helps you, otherwise I have no idea what it is. I'm (sadly) no expert in LUA

Thank you very much... unfortunatley, it doesn't work (without an error). Perhaps, because the Sonos is already linked to the official Sonos Plugin. So is there no way to virtually push the "Play"-Button on the official plugin?

[Krikroff 199]

What is the version you use ?

 

To virtually push play buton the correct way is 

 

Please login or register to see this code.

Please try with this code

[Danielos 3]

@Krikroff SONOS_Remote_v1.0.0 vfib . I can't find an newer one to download. I saw that there should be a 1.0.1, but no download link. Perhaps that's the problem?

[Krikroff 199]

Ok this is the lastest public version available at time. could you try the code given just before ?

[Danielos 3]

@Krikroff Thank you. I reinstalled and added the code. If I push start, nothing happens...

And even in the GUI it's not possible to push play..... but in the official plugin of sonos (with the same IP) it works perfect as you see.

 

Hmm, strange. Any idea?

 

Thank you very much for your help!!!

 

[Krikroff 199]

can you look in the "Main Loop" debug,

=> buton "debug" and then buton "start"

@Krikroff: this is the error message:

 

[ERROR] 23:21:19: line 5: bad argument #1 to 'len' (string expected, got nil)

[Krikroff 199]

in the debug of your "play buton" or debug of Sonos VD ?

[Danielos 3]

@Krikroff No, in the script. In the debug mode I receive that:

Hum if i put the following code in a new button in a VD it work like a charm, replace 408 with your sonos remove vd ID

Please login or register to see this code.

Does the play button on the SONOS Remote VD work?

 

If not trying that:

 

1. In the variables panel, delete the variable x_sonos_object

2.  In Sonos Remote VD,  click on save (the small floppy disk on the right) to force the creation of the variable.

 

 

[Krikroff 199]

@Danielos, could you send me your VD for further investigation please ?

 

Regards,

[Danielos 3]

@Krikroff Sure... here it is. Thank you very much!

@Krikroff

 

I also use the Sonos remote VD. On this remote I also have 5 buttons for my favorite radiostations. Now I want more then 5 button for radiostations, so i added a new row of buttons, copy/paste the LUA code and change de label ID and some numbers in de LUA code for that specifik button. Sadly it doens’t work that way. 

 

I think there should also a change in the main loop, do you know what to change/add?

I had the same problem.

 

Just followed Krikroffs steps above, and loaded the VD he attached.

It worked directly like a charm

 

I Hope it continues that way.

So far so good!

 

Thankyou Krikroff!

@Krikroff yeeahhhhhhh, it works!!!! You're brillant, thank you very much!!!

 

Now I tried your script above:

 

Please login or register to see this code.

(28 is my VD-ID). And the following error is shown: 

 

Quote

[DEBUG] 20:55:19: 2019-01-16 20:55:19.343511 [ fatal] Unknown exception: /opt/fibaro/scenes/34.lua:13: attempt to call method 'log' (a nil value)

 

I mean I commented out the two lines with the log-variable, but I'm sure there is an idea behind them.   

 

And could you also tell me how I can save which stream / playlist is playing right now in a variable? My idea behind that is, that I want to start my Sonos in the morning with a specific radio station. So first I need to know the official url with the radio stream and afterwards, I want to set the radio station in Sonos VD.

 

Once again a big thank you. I'm so happy that it works and I can start using Sonos in Scripts, too.... yeahhh...
