Domoticz send commands over SSH & control iTunes

[devros]

Hello this is my first script mostly copy paste code, but could be usefull maybe for someone else.
With script you can conect with SSH to remote machine and send command to ITUNES (tested form Orange Pi to Macosx). I used Python, because send commands over bash script was quite difficult and it was easier to control with Python.

1.
On Mac side you need
https://github.com/mischah/itunes-remote

Code: Select all

npm install --global itunes-remote

2.
On Domoticz server side you need
Python and paramiko module

Code: Select all

pip install paramiko

3.
create imacssh.py in /scripts/python

Code: Select all

import paramiko
import sys
import time

nbytes = 4096
hostname = '192.168.2.253'
port = 22
username = 'XXXX'
password = 'XXX'
command = '/usr/local/bin/itunes-remote search artist'

client = paramiko.Transport((hostname, port))
client.connect(username=username, password=password)

session = client.open_channel(kind='session')
session.exec_command(command)
time.sleep(5)
print command
print "PLAY"

4. create imac_ssh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
if [[ $# -eq 1  && $1 == "ON"  ]]; then
        python /home/jandevera/domoticz/scripts/python/imacssh.py ON
        echo "ON"
elif [[ $# -eq 1  && $1 == "OFF" ]]; then
        python /home/jandevera/domoticz/scripts/python/imacssh.py OFF
        echo "OFF"
else
        echo -e "Usage :  `basename $0` <ON>|<OFF>" && exit 0
fi

5. add dummy device in domoticz and add
script://python/imac_ssh ON as ON
and script://python/imac_ssh OFF as OFF

Script is simple and could be improved (i have no check if Mac is ON). But could be usefull for sending other comands and is quite simple...
