Domoticz

I created a wiki page on bluetooth audio on raspberry pi.
This currently shows how to play an mp3 file using bluetooth

I hope to extend this with information on domoticz integration and on making domoticz talk using google translate (hope some of you can help)

Have you seen this topic: http://domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=7443 ?

Yes, i posted a link in that topic, the topic you mention is about pimusicbox, requiring an extra pi

Thnx pvm!
I followed the wiki and was wondering if it's possible to play a radio stream of mp3 file.
I tried the following url stream but it doesn't work:
edit: the url stream wasn't correct. I tried another stream and it works!
But how to execute and stop the stream when using a (virtual) switch within domoticz?

I updated the wiki with:

edit the mplayer configuration file to prevent loading lyrics (which is not needed and reports errors on my machine sudo nano /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf and add (top top)
nolirc=yes

You can create a script with the command to play audio and execute that from within domoticz (did not try yet). You will need the .asoundrc file in your /root directory

Updated the part on google translate to let domoticz speak

How do you keep the bluetooth device connected (paired) to the raspberry or Domoticz.

When the bluetooth speaker is idle I hear: "the bluetooth device is ready to pair". If I run a script with a sound file within, then it pairs again, but then you hear: "the bluetooth device is connected".

Does someone have a solution for this issue?

I can only share my results...:
My speaker sounds 'pingpong' to identify it is connected and after the speech it waits 20 seconds and disconnects with a 'pongping' sound. It does however reconnect the next time and the next and ...
Sounds like your device is bahaving the same but the speech identifying it is connected is disturbing.... I do not now wether it is possible to keep it connected al the time....

Yes, I have the same behavior. It does work, but every time you have to trigger it. I have small mp3 files to inform about events within Domoticz, but when the device every time have to pair again, I can't hear the mp3 files.

Well, I think it is possible to stay paired, but I didn't found it yet. If I find it I'll will post it here.

Thank you for your WiKi

EDIT: I found this setup in ~/.asoundrc to direct all sound through the bluetooth device. (It's not to stay paired, but I think it's handy)

When this works correctly it sounds like a good update to the u are allowed to update / improve things

mmm
Is there a option to play a internet radio stream?

And active this with a script/button...
Button 1 radio 3
Button 2 Qmusic
etc

Yes, specify the url you want to play in a script (start player in background with &), start that from the on script for the switch.
Create an off script to kill the media player

I created a musicplay.sh script to play a stream. This works fine.
However I can't stop this with musicstop.sh. Any suggestions?

The stop script should kill the shmplayer. ('man kill' for instructions)

Why don't you try to stream full ALSA sound ? (Microphone too, this way, no connections interupt)

When play mp3 files loose/cut the last part of the file only usign bluetooth speakers other way play fine. Any clues?

Is there a option to play/switch to a internet stream?
Activate 1 dummy, to play mp3
A other dummy switch. To play a internet stream..

And is it possible to adjust the volume?

I guess this is done by your Bluetooth device, if you play an silent (or other not silent) not directly after it, what happens then?
