pimatic-sonos change volume

daice

Hey,

i’m use pimatic-sonos to control my speaker and want to change the volume. But it is not working like it is explained in the description. So i tried to set the volume over the api: “curl -s -u user:pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/device/sonos-player/volume?volume”. I got back: {“success”:false,“message”:“false == true”}. Does anybody know the right command for the acion to change the volume?

@LukevdPalen can you help on this one, please

EDIT: According to the log @LukevdPalen has not been online for a year now. May be another user can help?

Hey,

good news, i fixed it on my own.
I have included the following lines in the sonos.coffee below the constructor:

actions:
  play:
    description: "starts playing"
  pause:
    description: "pauses playing"
  stop:
    description: "stops playing"
  next:
    description: "play next song"
  previous:
    description: "play previous song"
  setVolume:
    description: "change volume of player"

Now it is possible to change the volume with a rule and "change volume of songs-device to X"
It seems that the AVPlayer is using volume to change the volume, but in the sonos plugin i found only a setVolume function. I tried to add only the setVolume action in the sonos.coffee in combination with super(), but this doesn’t work…

Regards dance

@daice nice to hear

@mwittig @sweetpi can you both take over the ownership or co maintenance on github / npm for this plugin?

Hello, i have installed today the sonos plugin. Play, Stop, Next,… works fine but i can’t change the volume by rule or by button. I have added the “action lines” from daice post,but this doesn’t work…"Could not find an provider that provides the next action of “change volume of Sonos_Play_1 to 5”."Anybody ideas? thx

daice

Here is my sonos.coffee. I don’t know if you have to add this on the right place.

class SonosPlayer extends env.devices.AVPlayer

    constructor: (@config) ->
      @name = @config.name
      @id = @config.id
      env.logger.debug("Connection to sonos #{@config.host}:#{@config.port}")

      @_sonosClient = new Sonos(@config.host, @config.port)

      @_updateInfo()
      setInterval( ( => @_updateInfo() ), @config.interval)

      super()

     actions:
      play:
        description: "starts playing"
      pause:
        description: "pauses playing"
      stop:
        description: "stops playing"
      next:
        description: "play next song"
      previous:
        description: "play previous song"
      setVolume:
        description: "change volume of player"

    getState: () ->
      return Promise.resolve @_state
    ....

Her is my rule to set the volume:
When Sonos Lautsprecher is on and sonos_ping is present and $sonos_volume.dimlevel changes and $sonos_volume.dimlevel is not $sonos-player.volume
Then set $sonos_set_volume = 1 and change volume of sonos-player to $sonos_volume.dimlevel and set $sonos_set_volume = 0 after 2 seconds

I hope this helps, works fine for me.

@daice Thx, for your input. As soon as I adjust the actions in the file, the Sonos plugin no longer works “error [pimatic]: SonosPlugin is not defined”

christoph.ch

@daice: Can you post your file “sonos.coffee” please? … after input the actions lines it unfortunately does not work anymore “error [pimatic]: SonosPlugin is not defined”

i have no ideas any more … it’s not working

Could not find an provider that provides the next action of “play Sonos Box”.

daice

Have you reastarted pimatic after changing the sonos.coffee? Also i would use the ID of the sonos device instead of the name. I have created a testrule:

WHEN it is 09:30 THEN play sonos-player

Pimatic says it is OK and starts the sonos.

christoph.ch

@daice yes, i have restart pimatic, but the plugin not works after change the sonos.coffee file

daice

I’m not a programmer, but i have seen that LukevdPalen has also changed something in the package.json. I have some more lines in mine

christoph.ch

@daice I’ll test it

christoph.ch

@daice: error [pimatic]: Error loading device “sz-sb-sonosbox”: this._updateInfo is not a function

daice

Sorry but i don’t have any more ideas whats goning wrong there… In my opinion the plugin needs to be redesigned.

christoph.ch

@daice Thank you for your support!

countjuh

Anyone still experimenting with this plugin? i still look for the volume adjustment.

Tim

@countjuh If you really want this you can run node-sonos-http-api next to Pimatic and use a CURL to control the volume like this: http://localhost:5005/living room/volume/15 (will set volume for room Living Room to 15%).

This is obviously not the best solution, but this way you don’t have to wait for the developers.
