Step by step guide: Sonos integration

[iTDB]

Thank you for all the work! It works like a charm.

I did however changed the dz script from anfelt, so now the played numbers / radio station are displayed in a seperate device. I also updated the icons from dhanjel, so now they don't have white borders anymore.

The script can be found at Github.

I had some problems with the auto-start of pm2, so I followed the steps from junr and that works like a charm. Of course you need pm2 in order for this to work, you can install that the help of this post. And pm2 do also need autostart, you can set that up with.

Sonos.zip

Github > Works for me.
For myself I added the following.

Code: Select all

--How to use: URL change Room - domoticz.devices(Idx) - Make dzVents

...
        currentvolume = jsonStatus['volume']
....
And during playback
 .. "\nVolume: " .. currentvolume

Is this setup still working? Also for the ikea sonof systems?
Or is sonos now hardcored in to domoticz?
Or are there perhaps other options in to domoticz?

Can someone tell me how to get this to work on a Synology Nas running Domoticz from a Dockercontainer?
On the nas Node.js v12 is running but dont know what steps to take.
I have downloaded 'node-sonos-http-api' and changed the presets file example.json to my setup:

Code: Select all

{
  "players": [
    {
      "roomName": "Keuken Los",
      "volume": 10
    },
    {
      "roomName": "Keuken Stereo Paar (L)",
      "volume": 10
    },
    {
      "roomName": "Keuken Stereo Paar (R)",
      "volume": 10
    },
    {
      "roomName": "Woonkamer",
      "volume": 10
    },
  ],
  "playMode": {
    "shuffle": true,
    "repeat": "all",
    "crossfade": false
  },
  "pauseOthers": false,

}

I now copyed the 'node-sonos-http-api' folder into \\Nas-1\docker\domoticz\plugins\ and now via Docker using bash terminal looking at

Code: Select all

root@domoticz-domoticz:/opt/domoticz/userdata/userdata/plugins# dir                                       
Domoticz-Home-Connect-Plugin-master  domoticz-solaredge-modbustcp-plugin-master                           
Python-3.9.16.tar                    node-sonos-http-api

i now see the 'node-sonos-http-api' folder within the plugins directory..

but from here i'm stuck at the the 'npm' part.

I have it running on my synology NAS, instead of PM2 you can run node server.js via another way, see link below.

This tells me it is possible to get it to work on a Synology Nas but leaves me with no solution.

Please someone Help!!

Why not follow the same steps as described by Holland? Can’t you use pm2 on the Synology? I installed Sonos http a few weeks ago on a new pi 3B and it works fine.

Hi,
thanks for a reply, I stated my question because of this post from Holland:

yes that did the trick! its working now in Domoticz. Do you also how to run the api continuously, now, when I close the terminal de pipe is broken. Is there an option within synology which I can use?

The solution is PM2, but I have it running on a RPi. See also the first post in this threat.

Don't know if PM2 can run on a synology.

I asked the specific question about a Synology setup, and to be precise a Docker run Domoticz on a Synology.
For Rpi there is an abundance of howto's and wiki's over many items; for Docker not so much.. so thats the cry for help at the end of my post because the video about node.js isnt helpfull to me at all..
