Step by step guide: Sonos integration

[Hanfelt]

Updated dzvents code

Code: Select all

active = true,
  on = { ['timer'] = 'every minute' },
  execute = function(domoticz)

        local json = (loadfile "/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/JSON.lua")()

        local sonos=assert(io.popen('curl http://192.168.50.3:5005/Altan/state'))
        local sonos_name = 'Sonos, Altan'

        local status = sonos:read('*all')
        sonos:close()
        local jsonStatus = json:decode(status)

        playerstate = jsonStatus['playerState']

        if (playerstate == 'PLAYING')
        then
            domoticz.devices[sonos_name].switchSelector(10)
        elseif (playerstate == 'PAUSED_PLAYBACK')
        then
            domoticz.devices[sonos_name].switchSelector(20)
        else
            domoticz.devices[sonos_name].switchSelector(0)
        end

  end
}

No more error

There a few options to integrate Sonos with Domoticz

1. via php https://github.com/DjMomo/sonos
2. via the sonos http api; https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api

I prefer option 2, since it's far more flexible and (for me) easier to implement

Below you can find the step by step guide to get this running.

1. First make sure that at least version 4.0.0 of node is running. If it's older; update to the latest version.

Hi,
Thanks for the nice tutorial. Added this on my Domoticz pi. And it is working very wel. Except this:
I see this in the errorlog when pressing a button:

Code: Select all

Error: Error opening url: http://myinternalip:5005/woonkamer/play

Looks like a Domoticz issue as the Sonos is playing musica after pressing the button.

Ideas how to solve this?

@commentator;

It's a known issue. The sonos api doesn't give any response when it received a correct command, and gives a response when the command is incorrect. Ideally it should return like OK. You can safely ignore the error. Actually the sonos http api developer should be contacted, but I haven't done that yet.

edit: today I posted a request at github sonos http api; https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api/issues/275

Now, all we need to do is wait........

thanks Just waiting for a fix




An other question, how to start a radio stream from domoticz?
Because:
http://mylocalip:5005/livingroom/favorite/qmusic
doesn't work @ all

[dhanjel]

Is it your favourite list? I use the same command, and it works for me.

yes, the tunein radio channel is in my favorites with this name

I got this very very clear and simple guide working. At least....almost.
Got the JSON lua on, when doing the http-request the Sonos starts and stops.

But, how do I get this as a switch in Domoticz after step 9?

dumb question, got it.
well, still not sure what the second LUA script is for.

[Holland]

The lua script is just an example for what you can do with it. In this case, Sonos stops playing, the moment the TV is switched on

[Tharland]

Get a free api-key from http://www.voicerss.org/ and you can get spoken (TTS) messages like: "The lights are off" when switching lights off.

usage example : http://yourserver:5005/LiveRoom/say/The lights are off

Ps: did anyone find a way the display the artist/track info in Domoticz ?

anyone know where to create the settings.json file?In which folder?

[Holland]

In the root folder

If you want to change default settings, you can create a settings.json file and put in the root folder.

See: https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api

which root folder? i only get a message about i need to register api key, but i have done this. and created a settings.json with the api key in the node-sonos-http-api folder

Can anyone tell me?

[Holland]

Updated the guide.

Update solves this; viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10211

- Install the most resent version of node-sonos-http-api/
- changed the example lua script, since developper changed the JSON string a bit

Hi,

first of all, thank you for the easy to follow how to
I get it all running on my Domoticz system and have a nice Icon at my desktop.
Unortunatly I get stuck at booting on startup.
I'm running on Jessie:
when I do:
2. sudo pm2 startup systemd –u pi....... it kills the proces
3. pm2 start nefiteasyhttpserver.sh....... this one I don't understand, copied from another topic I guess
4. pm2 save....... this one saves it.

So I start with 2.
then I do: cd node-sonos-http-api
then I type: pm2 start server.js
follows by: save pm2
Which delivers me a script in:: /home/pi/.pm2/dump.pm2

Do I have to rename the dump in a *.sh script?

or shortened:
What do I have to do, to run the server at startup

Kind regards
Christian

edit: typed wrong code

[Holland]

@naitsirhc

After you got the service running, check with pm2 list, do the following;

Code: Select all

pm2 startup

This will likely generate the following command;

Code: Select all

sudo su -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin pm2 startup linux -u pi --hp /home/pi"

Execute the command that was generated via pm2 startup

Then, execute;

Code: Select all

pm2 save

Restart and check if it has worked

[naitsirhc]

I will try it, thanks for the quick reply

[ironrider]

Hi,

i have to start server.js after a Domoticz reset.
Is ist possible to make the server.js running as a service.
Thanx

Sven

Would be cool to see just the song playing.

Quick heads up to inform that 'playerState' is now 'playbackState' in the node-sonos-http JSON response. Aside from that, this is working perfectly using the dzVents method. Thanks all!!
