Sonos Alarm triggering a Scene in HC2?

[rodkai 0]

Hi,

 

Earlier I used OpenHAB with KNX, and I used a Sonos-plug-in that made it possible to trigger a scene/event in OpenHAB.

I want to use the Sonos Alarm to wake me up in the morning, and it would be great to have the alarm trigger a "Good morning-scene" as I did in OpenHAB.

 

Is this possible with VD in HC2?

 

Best regards

Kai

Latest FW bring for us native plugin for Sonos

also you can try to find VD from KriKroff

I'm using VD to cotrol my Sonos'es, but I don't find any possibility to use the VD to have an alarm trigger a scene......

Is Sonos going to be native in HC2?

A year later and I had the same question and figured it out. ?

 

This is the Fibaro function to receive the alarms from your Sonos System:

@Joep I am sorry.

what is it?

 

    while b ~= nill do 

 

[Joep 200]

@10der It's a while loop and it checks for a tag, if the regex doesn't find it the var is nill, so quit te loop. I'm not a programmer, if you can make it better, please, be my guest. This works for me.

[SmartHomeEddy 1,005]

b will always be not equal to “nill”

 

Or is Lua for HC2 that different from what I am used to with HC3?

i would say the first b check need extra line before

Strange, the code works on my HC2 as I described it on the blog.

Maybe it's a HC3 thing. 

 

To answer the b questions: ?

I use the code if b ~= nill then within the loop because when the previous alarm was set, the loop enters another round and if no other alarm is found after that the var b is empty and the lua scene crashes. The line if b ~= nill then catches this.

 

I had problems with parsing the XML with the parser code found on this forum, the HC2 showed with debug the correct XML, but I think it struggled with the SOAP XML envelope tags. Therefore I use this strange and dirty approach.

 

Cool to see it works on the HC3.

btw, my Sonos displays ONCE, ON_, WEEKDAYS_, DAILY, WEEKENDS: depending on days combination, so consider adding check to your article/code. I did quick&dirty change to test:

I read this topic with some amusement, please do not feel insulted, but you've probably written "a typo" and it happens to work and it is quite interesting. Your reasoning is sound and if you want reliable code this kind of tests (and proper handling) is important.

 

My first reaction was what @10der already wrote, why nill, with double l?

Nil is a type with a single value, nil, whose main property is to be different from any other value. As we have seen, a global variable has a nil value by default, before a first assignment, and you can assign nil to a global variable to delete it. Lua uses nil as a kind of non-value, to represent the absence of a useful value.

 

Because you never assign any value to a variable called  nill, with double l - you are effectively compare with "nil". Let's test that idea with the "double ll version".

You might think nill is special, but you can take an arbitrary non-existing variable to do this test!

Advanced users on this forum may remember I often run some magic code before my real script, it is called "Check Global Leakage" and it is meant to detect reads and writes to global values, with some exceptions, and it helps to detect mixup of global and local variables. It catches this typo too...

I can share this file but it only works if you develop "offline" because Fibaro Lua has removed some functions to make it work. Here you go.

It is worth knowing this kind of error, because it can go unnoticed and cause hard to explain bugs.

I post on the Internet to give something back to the community, I learned a lot and maybe other people learn or got inspired by something I write. When you post, you get reactions, and even more if your not the best in the programming scene. But your reaction is not insulting. You're explaining why you have (positive) criticism and I like that. Screaming without saying how to improve on the other hand not my thing, but that's not the case with your reply.

 

It is a typo, and after your post I realize it. I read over it every time. Stupid it works, I'm gonna change the code with your tips in mind and edit my blog. Thank you.

add 

parseXml

 

add

now you can parse any XML

Luckily i have no idea about anything, so added your code into HC2 scene:

 

 

and into HC3 scene:

that should do the job, haven't tested deeper, just with the scene.

[tinman 1,070]

the code you pasted was broken, or got changed within forum editor, this is why. Got it now?
