Easy Sonos

[G3rard]

Php files can be called from a switch, I am using that but you have to run the php from a web server like a Synology and use http:// instead of script://.

got it all working. Created 2 dummy switches for each Sonos. And in Blocky sent a command when the doorbel is rang!

Even when the both speakers are streaming radio in a Group, when the doorbell rings, the sonos speakers stop each nicely, play the doorbell mp3 and afterwards continue to play the radio stream!!!

Cheers for the solution from this German guy!!! And thanks G3rard for pointing me to the solution!

Hi thorbj, that's not normal. When you switch off the Sonos (eg with the Sonos app) then this should be visible in the status of the switch. That can take a minute due to the time script, but it should change to off.

What does the php show if you open it in the browser and the Sonos is off?

I found the solution to this, somehow I had downloaded the html of the github, instead of the sonos.class.php

[thorbj]

You can take a look at https://github.com/ThomasTr/sonos. That has the possibility to stop current playing radio/list, plays a mp3, continues previously played radio/list. Maybe you can use that for the doorbell mp3.

I'm having difficulties getting this to work.
After having downloaded the files from Git, and the PHPSonos.inc.php, and put then on my webserver, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Missing zone' in /home/pi/sonos/sonos.php:70 Stack trace: #0 /home/pi/sonos/sonos.php(58): Sonos->_assertZone('') #1 /home/pi/sonos/sonos.php(10): Sonos->_main() #2 /home/pi/sonos/index.php(7): Sonos->__construct() #3 {main} thrown in /home/pi/sonos/sonos.php on line 70

I have added my sonos speakers IP adresses to the config.php.

Code: Select all

<?php
$config = array(
	'zones' => array(
                'Stue'    => '10.10.10.139',
                'Stue' => '10.10.10.119',
                'Stue'  => '10.10.10.137',
				),

                '1Live'    => '1live-diggi.akacast.akamaistream.net/7/965/119435/v1/gnl.akacast.akamaistream.net/1live-diggi',

                'Donau3FM' => 'server1.webradiostreaming.de:2640',
	),
        'messagePath'   => '/home/pi/sonos/messages/',

        'logging'       => false,
        'logfile'       => 'log.txt',
);
?>

Does anyone know what can be wrong here?

-Thanks!

First try it with one zone in the config.php file or otherwise give the 3 zones a different name.

my first guess indeed. as you need to send a message/command to 1 zone.
That's they only negative of this solution: doesn't recognize grouped speakers, but for the rest it works charmless.

Finished by doorbell project and i get a Prowl message and a doorbell ring on both of my Sonos speakers! Now it's time to install my Foscam IP camera and i'm done!

Thanks for the reply!

I have now tried with only one zone, but I still get the same error.

Here is the edited config.php:

are you running it on your Pi? That doesnt work if you haven't installed a seperate webserver.


my config:
<?php

$config = array(
'zones' => array(
'Woonkamer' => '172.16.2.166',
'Keuken' => '172.16.3.164',

),
'radiostations' => array(
'DasDing' => 'swr-mp3-m-dasding.akacast.akamaistream.net/7/588/137139/v1/gnl.akacast.akamaistream.net/swr-mp3-m-dasding',
'1Live' => '1live-diggi.akacast.akamaistream.net/7/965/119435/v1/gnl.akacast.akamaistream.net/1live-diggi',
'SWR3' => 'mp3-live.swr3.de/swr3_m.m3u',
'Donau3FM' => 'server1.webradiostreaming.de:2640',
),
'messagePath' => '//172.16.0.3/Public/MEDIA/MP3/',
'messageStorePath' => '/c/music/_Sprachmeldungen/',
'messageLang' => 'du',
'currentRadio' => 'currentRadio.txt',
'filePhpSonos' => 'PHPSonos.inc.php',
'logging' => true,
'logfile' => 'log.txt',
);


so message path is a full name to a server.

Also i'm running it own my Qnap NAS.

I'm running on an Apache-install on my pi. That shouldn't be a problem. Or am I wrong?
I copied your configuration, but added my on IP for the sonos speaker, still same error. I have tried with the IP of all my speakers, even the BRIDGE.

maybe a chmod issue?

and did you try opening it just in a browser and what url do you use?

[thorbj]

All php files have 755 rights, and the filder has 777.
I've tried accessing it via a browser, that's when the error appears. http://ServerIP:port/index.php

The Google TTS service doesn't work anymore gives me HTTP 404 errors?? But i just downloaded my own doorbell mp3. You need to name it 0.mp3 (and use messageID1) and place it in the correct locations.

Seems every message had a 0 status (start action) and a 1 status (action stopped). For a doorbell you just need 0.mp3 and messageId1

I have created an overview of this topic and some other Sonos related topics on this page on the wiki: http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Sonos
Feel free to add info or improve it so we have one place with all Sonos related information.

[wmn79]

Would be nice if this is integrated in Domoticz.
I have a Sonos, but unfortunately no knowledge of c++

I got a script from ab1976 to update the status of a virtual Sonos switch in Domoticz if the Sonos is switched on/off with another controller.
I altered it a bit and it is running as a LUA time script on a Synology.

LUA script

Code: Select all

function execute(command)
        -- returns success, error code, output.
    local f = io.popen(command..' 2>&1 && echo " $?"')
    local output = f:read"*a"
    return output
end

commandArray = {}

str=execute('php /volume1/web/domoticz/sonos/sonos.status-kantoor.php','r')
str2=execute('php /volume1/web/domoticz/sonos/sonos.status-keuken.php','r')

if string.find(str, "PLAYING") then
	print("Sonos kantoor aan")
	--print(str)
	if otherdevices['Sonos kantoor']=='Off' then
		commandArray['Sonos kantoor']='On'
	end
else
	print("Sonos kantoor uit")
	--print(str)
	if otherdevices['Sonos kantoor']=='On' then
		commandArray['Sonos kantoor']='Off'
	end
end

if string.find(str2, "PLAYING") then
	print("Sonos keuken aan")
	--print(str2)
	if otherdevices['Sonos keuken']=='Off' then
		commandArray['Sonos keuken']='On'
	end
else
	print("Sonos keuken uit")
	--print(str2)
	if otherdevices['Sonos keuken']=='On' then
		commandArray['Sonos keuken']='Off'
	end
end

return commandArray

PHP page

Code: Select all

<?php
$IP_sonos_1 = "192.168.1.1";
require("sonos.class.php");
$sonos_1 = new SonosPHPController($IP_sonos_1);
$transInfo= $sonos_1->GetTransportInfo();
echo $transInfo;
?>

I am using this script and it is working nicely, I only found out that when two Sonos devices are grouped and you pause the group. Only the initial device, so the device of which the playlist is used gets turned off. The other device still keeps the status "Playing" and therefore the virtual switch is not switching off, does someone else also see this behaviour?

Hi, I've modified the stop and play scripts. You can use these scripts with an IP as parameter. These scripts also writes a line in the log file.

Place the scripts in: /home/pi/domoticz/scripts
Make the scipts executable: chmod +x <filename>

You can start them via a switch.

Hi, a developed an alarm script for the Sonos. You can use these scripts with an IP as parameter. This scripts also writes a line in the log file.

Place the scripts in: /home/pi/domoticz/scripts
Make the scipts executable: chmod +x <filename>

You can download free sounds on the web. Save one of them to f.e. as alarm.mp3

A webdirectory on the RPI is necessary. See the attachement for a example

sonos-alarm.JPG (23.14 KiB) Viewed 38157 times

xxx.xx.x.xx in the script is the IP address of your RPI (Domoticz). pppp the port number.
