Python : Bose soundtouch Multiroom with domoticz
Posted: Thursday 05 October 2017 13:34
Hello all!
Just wanted to share a library that I found and use in order to command Bose soundtouch speaker with domoticz.
This library is based on the official API provided by Bose so it's very stable and complete.
Link to lib: https://github.com/CharlesBlonde/libsoundtouch
What you can do with this:
- Multiroom (from any sources, presets or airplay)
- commands like play, pause next song...
- Select presets
- Send music from different sources (URL, Spotify)
- Power on or off
I made a script to go with this lib, I didn't found any tutorial or any real examples of how this should work so I thought I'd share mine.
The way this works is you create zones of multiroom with one device as master and others as slaves. After they are all linked together they stay that way until shutdown or restart. Not only you can multiroom with your presets or sources defined in a python script but you can also connect with airplay to the master speaker which will send music to all slaves and the master at the same time.
Sorry for the poor coding, I don't know anything about python and I just made this work. It works in 2 case; with 2 or 3 speaker. This code is not meant to be used as it is but to be used as an example for you to do your own script. Sorry about the French names.
Don't forget to sudo chmod +x your script before using in a switch. Time I can loose on this things
If I can help in any way feel free to ask.
