Domoticz + Harmony Hub + ChromeCast

[Pierryck]

Hi,

I use Domoticz on Synology DS216Play.
I want to use Domoticz to send sound to my Technics sa-dx930 AV Control (very old model but does the job)

Here is my plan, can you tell me if it's possible or if you have better ideas to process.
1) Buy an Harmony Hub then with Domoticz I could:
a) Switch on the Technics sa-dx930 in IR
b) Set the right input and sound level

2) Send sound to bluetooth to the the logitech bluetooth adapter connected to the Technics AV (I don't know how. I do it from my smartphone today)
OR
3) Switch on the TV and send sound to ChromeCast in WIFI from Domoticz (if it's possible ?)

Hello,
I have Harmony Hub (and remote), Logitech Bluetooth adapter and Chromecast. You can use Domoticz to see/set status of Harmony Activities. So, you can start "Listen Logitech adapter" on Domoticz and then Harmony starts your AV Receiver and set input for BT adapter. It could set sound level if your AV Receiver supports exact volume values (not just up/down). This works with TV and Chromecast too.
I'm not sure if Harmony Hub works without remote but I guess it does.

Good! & how do you send your music to the Logitech Bluetooth Adapter?

There are a couple of npm packages available for nodejs to control Chromecast, I have previously used it to get status and play audio through Chromecast audio

I mainly use Spotify on tablets etc. In my setup, Domoticz does not have much role in AV usage. Led back-light of my TV is controlled by Domoticz and is dependent of Harmony Activities.
