HEOS by DENON

[McMelloW]

As mentioned I installed everything on Windows. But I can remember I needed to install pip.

Pip is an installer for python plugins. So install it or upgrade it maybe it will work then.

Thanks very much. I am am on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. I will look at this link.

After a long and intensive search on google If found a workaround for the errors and get it installed.
In your config.json you have 1 player. I do have a HomeCinema soundbar wired with a lan-cable and 2 HEOS HS2 1 speakers. They are connected as a pair in stereo and grouped with the soundbar. Do I have put them all in the "players" part of the config.json?

Example of my config.json:

Code: Select all

{,
  "host": "192.168.1.57",
  "player_name": "Woonkamer",
  "players": {
    "Woonkamer": -107*******
  },
  "pid": -107*******,
  "user": "[email protected]",
  "pw": "password"
}

Like this,

Code: Select all

  "players": {
    "HEOS HomeCinema": -287******,
    "HEOS 1 A Rechts": -508******,
    "HEOS 1 B Links": -1784******
  },

When I tried players/get_players command. I did only get the soundbar and 1 HS2 speaker info. When I disconnected the stereo-pair. I get both HS2 speakers info. Odd situation.
Can you post a picture of your devices.

Hi,

You need to start with a basis config.json as described on the readme at: https://github.com/ping13/heospy

Create a config.json file, which may reside in the current directory, in $HOME/.heospy or in a directory wich is specified by the environment variable $HEOSPY_CONF. The config file contains the name of the lead HEOS player you want to control and the username and password of your HEOS account. See example-config.json for an example.

So they give this as an example:

Code: Select all

{
  "player_name": "Living Room",
  "user": "[email protected]",
  "pw": "do-not-use-qwerty-as-your-password"
}

Edit it to your needs. So use you "Soundbar name" as in the HEOS app given and the emailadres and password from your HEOS account.

Example:

Code: Select all

{
  "player_name": "Woonkamer",
  "user": "[email protected]",
  "pw": "password"
}

Now type the command: Heos_player at the console and de plugin will search for a player named "Woonkamer" as in my example. And gives the result:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Domoticz\Documents\Python\heospy-master>heos_player

2020-03-17 19:49:02,596 INFO Nothing to do.

When you now look into your config.json it has been filled with extra information and now you can give commands to you HEOS.

Code: Select all

{,
  "host": "192.168.1.57",
  "player_name": "Woonkamer",
  "players": {
    "Woonkamer": -107*******
  },
  "pid": -107*******,
  "user": "[email protected]",
  "pw": "password"
}

First off all. There is nowhere an where and to use $HEOS_CONFIG.

I did create a config.json in the same directory as heos_player.
Typing the command heos_player shows this result.

Code: Select all

'HEOS HomeCinema'
2020-03-18 16:57:37,812 INFO My cache says your HEOS player 'HEOS HomeCinema' is  at 192.168.***.***

2020-03-18 16:57:37,827 INFO Nothing to do.

It looks like it works. But where are my other 2 speakers?

Another question:
What type of (dummy)devices did you create in domoticz to control your speakers.

I don't understand this line... "There is nowhere an where and to use $HEOS_CONFIG."

The answer given says it has found a player named "HEOS HomeCinema" at the given IP so that's correct.
Did you already tested if it works with a command ?

Your other speakers are connected as surround speakers from the sounbar?

I have a Soundbar, subwoofer and two Home 150's all connected as surround. So when you look at the HEOS app its one configuration and seen as one speaker. Every command I send to the soundbar is also transported to the other speakers in my surround setup.

In my other post you can see what dummy sensors I used.

I don't understand this line... "There is nowhere an where and to use $HEOS_CONFIG."

The author, ping13, mention an environment variable $HEOSPY_CONF. But there is no explanation, how to use it and what to put in it.
Commands are working and sound is responding.

Finally, I found it. This is a 2 stage creation, first create a dummy switch. Then change it to a Media Player. Only your icons are different.

I've created an config.json in the root of the Plugin Directory. That's I think all is needed.
I've changed the icons with custom Heos Icons.
