--Update Speaker Variable with list of speakers

local gvName = "sonosPlayer"

--local gv = api.get("/globalVariables/" .. gvName)

local speakersList = "" -- Initialize an empty string to store the speakers' IP addresses

local jT = json.decode(fibaro.getGlobalVariable("jHomeTable"))

local counter = 0

-- Loop through the "jT" variable to find the list of speakers' IP addresses

for k, v in pairs(jT) do

    if k == "Speakers" then

        

        for k2, v2 in pairs(v) do

            counter = counter + 1

            -- k2 is the name of the speaker

            -- v2 is the IP address of the speaker

            if counter == 1 then

                speakersList = v2

            else

                speakersList = speakersList .. "," .. v2

            end

        end

    end

end

 

-- Update the "sonosPlayer" global variable with the list of speakers' IP addresses

print("Speaker list "..speakersList)

api.put("/globalVariables/sonosPlayer", { value = speakersList })

 

--output the values of sonosPlayer Variable for debugging

local sonosPlayerVariable = api.get("/globalVariables/" .. gvName)

print(json.encode(sonosPlayerVariable))

    if k == "Speakers" then

        for k2, v2 in pairs(v) do

            counter = counter + 1

            -- k2 is the name of the speaker

            -- v2 is the IP address of the speaker

            if counter == 1 then

                speakersList = v2

            else

            end

        end

    end

end

 

-- Update the "sonosPlayer" global variable with the list of speakers' IP addresses

print("Speaker list "..speakersList)

api.put("/globalVariables/sonosPlayer",

    {

        name="sonosPlayer",

        value="", -- optional

        isEnum=true,

        enumValues=

            {

                speakersList 

            }

    })

• So you have a Global Variable jHomeTable and a Global Variable SonosPlayer?
• In the jHomeTable you have a property (list) for your Sonos speakers?
• You want to read the list in jHomeTable and match it with SonosPlayer? So replace the property (list) with SonosPlayer?

 

If I understand it correctly please post an example of the SonosPlayer value and jHomeTable value (please strip everything except the SonosPlayer property, to help you I need the structure.
