Step by step guide: Sonos integration

[leecollings]

Yes, you can select just one speaker. Check out the documentation for the full list of commands you can use: https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api

E.g.
/{Room name}/clip/{filename}[/{announce volume}]
/clipall/{filename}[/{announce volume}]

Examples:
/clipall/sample_clip.mp3
/clipall/sample_clip.mp3/80
/Office/clip/sample_clip.mp3
/Office/clip/sample_clip.mp3/30

This is what I would love to achieve

#1 - Someone pushes my doorbell
#2 - I capture the current state of my sonos player (medium, song, volume etc) and save this for later
#3 - I play my own sound through the sonos player (ding-dong)
#4 - I go back to to captured/saved state and listen to original music again

Would all of this be possible with this solution?

Hey, you can already do this with the clipall command (if you want to play the announcement through all Sonos devices on your network).

You can handle all of the above by using:

Code: Select all

http://localhost:5005/clipall/name-of-your-mp3.mp3

(store your mp3 file in /static/clips/)

Works awesome, thanks!!!!

Hi,

Is ist possible to make the server.js running as a service.
Thanx

Sven

Sven,

Go to the api directory

Code: Select all

cd node-sonos-http-api 

Start de pm2 server

Code: Select all

 sudo pm2 start server.js 

Save the process

Code: Select all

 sudo pm2 save 

The pm2 will save the running process.

Code: Select all

Sudo reboot

It works fine now

Hi guys, I'm trying to get this working for my sonos system and got the api working.

problem now is to create that dummy device and switch:

9. Create a selector switch (create a dummy device and pick selector switch in the list of virtual devices ) according to the below images;

How do I create a dummy device? The device page doesn't allow me to create devices..
I can create new hardware (1-Wire (System)) but it will not create any devices I can use for the selector.
What am I missing?

[junr]

RezzZ

Create a Dummy switch in the hardware tab
Make a virtual sensor with Selector Switch.
in the device tab you select the dummy with

Hope it helps.

thanks Junr! I totally missed the dummy switch as a hardware device but it is really in the list...

thanks again!

any chance someone has already created a transparant icon set for sonos?
the file from dhanjel (posted 8-6-2016) has white corners, not transparant.

Hi guys.
Im new here and have tried this great solution, but I have wierd problem.
Im running my domoticz installation with https and the switch sends commands in http. Not sure if this is the problem but it doesnt work. If I send the command directly in the browser with http it works, so the api is active. But if I use the exact same link on a selector in domoticz, nothing happends.
Which log can I start searching in for clues?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit:
I figured it out. Nothing to do with the encryption fortunately. Domoticz just wasnt able to convert the space in "dining room". All sorted now =)
Next step is adding TTS.

Hi there!

I just had a look at the node-sonos-http-api. I haven't tried it yet, (still waiting for 2 pcs Sonos One to be delivered) but it looks really nice.

I also had a quick look at the LUA script in the initial post. It seems to be a device triggered script so it will run whenever a device changes in Domoticz. That can happen quite often and will put some burden on the Domoticz server for sure.

Looking a bit closer at node-sonos-http-api I see that there is support for a web hook. That sounds promising because using that, Domoticz wouldn't have to do polling the API for changes. Instead Domoticz can be "push noticed" whenever there is a status change. It should be much faster and more efficient than polling. One small problem is that Domoticz currently doesn't have a way to trigger a specific script using the API. Therefore to use the web hook functionality we'd need some software to interpret whats coming in and inform Domoticz about it. That wouldn't be so hard to do.

I've started a nodejs project to intercept events from node-sonos-http-api using web hooks and use them to inform Domoticz. I'll let you know when I have been able to test it in case someone is interested.

You can handle all of the above by using:

Code: Select all

http://localhost:5005/clipall/name-of-your-mp3.mp3

(store your mp3 file in /static/clips/)

But how could I store the actual state, so I can resume after the clipall command?

It stores the current state within the command. Try it out and you'll see.

I've tested it, with a Play 1 playing a song, it pauses, plays the mp3 file, and then resumes the previously playing song.

I noticed that this is not always working well. I have two sonos-speakers.
If I send a clipall command to the sonoses, the sounds plays well on both speakers, but afterwards the music does not continue where it was. I think the music starts on the playlist from one of the speakers, not always the right one.

But if I send the command to both speakers separately (two links), it works well.
Just for the record
It might be a coding error?

Gents, installed in on my Synology NAS, and can start / stop my Sonos speakers via the URL in my browser. But is doesn't start with the selector switch in Domoticz when im using the same url... Fout bij verzenden van schakelaar opdracht, controleer apparaat/hardware!

Anyone?


Thanks

@josimd

Should work. Can you share the url that you use to let it start playing

[josimd]

Thanks for reply;

in my browser: http://192.168.86.136:5005/woonkamer/play

(small think is when I use http://192.168.86.136:5005/woonkamer/pauze it doesn't stop)

and I use the same in Domoticz;

http://192.168.86.136:5005/woonkamer/play

But then I get the error

[Holland]

The following url should be changed ;

http://192.168.86.136:5005/woonkamer/pauze

to

http://192.168.86.136:5005/woonkamer/pause

What is the version of Domoticz you are running. Because, some time ago there were some issues with the selector switch. But that has been resolved.

[josimd]

I'm running on V4.9700 (synology)
