Volumio Connector for Domoticz
Posted: Thursday 25 January 2018 10:47
Ciao,
I finally found my way to connecto Volumio2 to my Domoticz
Iwas thinking to create a plugin, but I'm not so skilled, so I choose a Python servicewhich connect via socketIO and keep Domoticz updated, while Domoticz can control Volumio using the http REST API
...if.. for any reason... someone would like toconvert it into a plugin it would be really appreciated!!
here is how it works:
Unfortunately it works only unde linux
in domoticz you need to create 3 dummy devices:
SWITCH DIMMER that will act as volume and mute/unmute
SWITCH SELECTOR that will act as basic controls (PLAY/STOP/PREV/NEXT)
TEXT DEVICEthat will act as a display
Create those 3 and keep note of their IDX
Device Configuration (edit them)
SWITCH DIMMER
http://<volumio_IP>/api/v1/commands/?cmd=playplaylist&name=<playlist Name>
The TEXT DEVICE does not need any special configuration except its name
now you need to create a dzVents Script in which you can copy/paste the following: save it and be sure to enable it...
now save the attached file in a folder into your linux system
Connect in Telnet/SSH to your linux system
be sure you have SocketIO installed by issuing
move to the folder where you placed the file and edit it to fill the needed information:
save the file
now let's create the service (these instruction works under Raspberry, other systems may need an adjustment:
copy and paste the following code:
enter the full path where the file is at line ExecStart (in my case is /home/pi/utility/dzVol.py) save it as dzVol.service (press CTRL-X and enter the file name)
now some other command to complete the installation:
you should see the service in active (running) mode
...that's all... you should be now able to change volume and use command on both domoticz and volumio UI to have the other side updated
hope you enjoy it
let me know what you think about it
ciao

- Name: Volumio Volume (you can use whatever you want, but we will is it later)
- Switch Type: Dimmer
- Icon: Speaker

- Name: Volumio Volume (you can use whatever you want, but we will is it later)
- Switch Type: Selector

The TEXT DEVICE does not need any special configuration except its name
now you need to create a dzVents Script in which you can copy/paste the following:
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = { devices = {'Volumio Volume'} },-- NUse the same name as setted in the Volume device
execute = function(dz, devVol)
local volumio = '<volumio_IP>'
if devVol.state == 'Off' then
os.execute('curl "http://'..volumio ..'/api/v1/commands/?cmd=volume&volume=mute"')
else
os.execute('curl "http://'..volumio ..'/api/v1/commands/?cmd=volume&volume='..devVol.level..'"')
end
end
}now save the attached file in a folder into your linux system
Connect in Telnet/SSH to your linux system
be sure you have SocketIO installed by issuing
Code: Select all
sudo pip3 install SocketIO-clientCode: Select all
VOLUIP = '<Volumio_IP>'
DEVIDX = '000' # VOLUME CONTROL
DEVTXT = '000' # DISPLAY CONTROL
DEVCTL = '000' # DEVICE CONTROLnow let's create the service (these instruction works under Raspberry, other systems may need an adjustment:
Code: Select all
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/dzVol.serviceCode: Select all
[Unit]
Description=Volumio connector for Domoticz
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
User=root
Type=idle
ExecStart= /home/pi/utility/dzVol.py
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.targetnow some other command to complete the installation:
Code: Select all
sudo chmod +x /home/pi/utility/dzVol.py
sudo chmod +x /lib/systemd/system/dzVol.service
sudo systectl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable dzVol.service
sudo systemctl start dzVol.service
sudo systemctl status dzVol.service...that's all... you should be now able to change volume and use command on both domoticz and volumio UI to have the other side updated
