Hi, sounds like a Domoticz global problem. Now I am at the end with my knowledge ...sry. Just one idea, check this:
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Linux

Thanks I will search a little more to see if I can find something.
For now to work with it, a start Domoticz with screen command.

[0n370uch]

Ok. Good luck with your research...

Hi 0n370uch, thanks for your great script!

I have added it to my Domoticz using de build in bluetooth of my RPI 3B and it is working great, there is only one thing I can't figure out.
You have a cronjob to activate the connection but I'm using my soundbar which is also connected to my TV and other stuff.
So I only want a connection when I press a radion button.

Is there a way to implement "/bin/echo -e 'connect 00:11:22:33:44:55 \n' | bluetoothctl &> /dev/null" into the script?

thanks!

Hi, you can add a normal button in Domoticz and link a bash script. Add your own bluetooth connect code into this bash script.

Hi, interesting... You have the same problem. For me everything is running fine... Mysterious.

[tukestolo]

For me the problem was that if Domoticz start by ir self on startup or by user root it don’t work, but if I start it from folder manual it work :/
I don’t figure why

Hello everybody!)
I tuned the radio - it works very well - thank you!
but I do not understand how to set up wireless connection on bluetooth
please give detailed instructions
Thanks!)

Hi, you need to pair your bluetooth device with the domoticz hardware (in my case the Raspberry Pi). After this step you can add a cronjob to autoconnect the bluetooth device. Look here: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=21419#p166533

I attached two picture. This screenshots show you the blocky element to safe the last used radio station.

Hi Fabi)
Thanks for the quick response)
please tell me how to connect my bluetooth column with raspberry 3?

[0n370uch]

Hi, add a new file /etc/asound.conf with this text inside (replace the mac address "00:11:22:33:44:55" with the mac address from your bluetooth device):

Code: Select all

pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm {
                type bluealsa
                device "00:11:22:33:44:55"
                profile "a2dp"
        }
}

ctl.!default {
        type bluealsa
}

EXTRA: You can add the file /lib/udev/rules.d/10-bluetooth-autoplay.rules (change the mac) for autoplay function:

Code: Select all

#Start radio with Domoticz (Start Radiosender > Level 10%) after connect to Panasonic bluetooth
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{name}=="00:11:22:33:44:55", RUN+="/usr/bin/curl --insecure 'https://username:[email protected]:443/json.htm?type=command&param=updateuservariable&vname=Wohnzimmer%20>%20Radio%20StartStop&vtype=0&vvalue=1' &> /dev/null"

#Stop radio with Domoticz after disconnect from Panasonic bluetooth
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ACTION=="remove", ATTRS{name}=="00:11:22:33:44:55", RUN+="/usr/bin/curl --insecure 'https://username:[email protected]:443/json.htm?type=command&param=updateuservariable&vname=Wohnzimmer%20>%20Radio%20StartStop&vtype=0&vvalue=2' &> /dev/null"

After this you can pair your device (replace mac again):

Code: Select all

sudo bluetoothctl
power on
agent on
scan on
connect 00:11:22:33:44:55
trust 00:11:22:33:44:55
scan off
exit

EXTRA: And optional the cronjob (change the mac address one last time):

Code: Select all

sudo crontab -e
*/1 * * * * /bin/echo -e 'connect 00:11:22:33:44:55 \n' | bluetoothctl &> /dev/null

sorry, I do not know where the directory "etc"

[0n370uch]

Type: cd /etc
Or: cd /
And than: ls

You are here (home dir): cd ~

[amplituda]

Thanks a lot to Fabi for your diligence, but your instructions for advanced users ...
they do not understand me, unfortunately ...
my home directory
pi @ raspberrypi: ~ $
it would be very good if you would show how to add auto-connect bluetooth devices from this directory .....

[0n370uch]

Ok, just type:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/asound.conf

And than copy the code:

Code: Select all

pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm {
                type bluealsa
                device "00:11:22:33:44:55"
                profile "a2dp"
        }
}

ctl.!default {
        type bluealsa
}

Sry but "cd" / "ls" / "nano" / "vim" and so on, are linux basics .

Thank you very much for your patience Fabi! Now I have a column connected to the bluetooth in my house - I'm happy)

Hey, great . I'm happy too. Have a nice weekend.

[Gianni]

i don't know what i'm doing wrong but this will not work for me
I followed your guide but when i switch to a channel nothing happens.

When i put this command in my terminal i get NO sound on my BT speakers.
mplayer -noconsolecontrols http://uk2.internet-radio.com:8358/ &> /dev/null

but when i put this code in my terminal i get the radio stream from my BT speakers
mplayer http://uk2.internet-radio.com:8358

BUT then again when i switch to OFF in domoticz then te player quit.

all i see in my domticz log is
2018-09-17 21:17:46.281 (Radio) Light/Switch (Radio)
2018-09-17 21:17:46.273 Status: User: Admin initiated a switch command (60/Radio/Set Level)

[0n370uch]

Hello, you need to add a playlist or a file like ".m3u" or ".mp3".

[Gianni]

Ok i will try that tonight when i'm home from work.
I just took the first url from your script to test

if (devicechanged['Wohnzimmer > Radio'] == '1FM') then
os.execute ("killall mplayer")
os.execute ("mplayer -noconsolecontrols http://uk2.internet-radio.com:8358/ &> /dev/null")
end

[0n370uch]

Ah yeah sry. This isn't working anymore.
