Implement Raumfeld capability

---

Hi folks,

Raumfeld is similar to Sonos but it’s from a German Company owned by Teufel (www.teufel.de and www.raumfeld.de)

They have pretty nice streaming an wireless speaker systems. I’m using one at home and just thought about how I can implement it into rules and stuff…
Raumfeld has a nice Github Page with everything to look up but I’m unfortunately a total noob at programing.
Has anyone else a Raumfeld device and is capable of implementing it?

Here are the git-pages:

https://github.com/raumfeld
The official one
And one Python thingy I found…

https://github.com/tfeldmann/python-raumfeld

I would love to see an implementation to play songs or playlists and stuff…

Cheers!

Control the python script with a shellsensor?

Or create a button device and set rules for example:
WHEN mute is pressed THEN execute "path/to/pyton.py mute"

For the volume you should use a dummydimmer and set rules for it.

Thanks for the hint, I’ll give it a try!
As I said, I don’t really have so much knowledge about programming

Then the easiest approach is to work with rules in combination with that script.

Try the commands first from command line so you know them.

Rule:

WHEN mute is pressed THEN execute "/home/pi/pimatic-app/thatscript.py mute"

Then, when you press mute, it will do a command line action.

If you need help with a volume slider, let me know.

Thanks for the help so far.

I now got it running.

As described here:
https://github.com/maierp/PyRaumfeld/issues/3

I got the script running on my raspberryi and now I can controll the raumfeld via http requests.

For example Play would be in my case:

http://192.168.2.10:8080/zone/Wohnzimmer/play

But how do I get that into a rule?
I tried a ShellSwitch with the different http request for the on/off state (http://192.168.2.10:8080/zone/Wohnzimmer/play for On State and /pause for the Off State)
but that won’t work…

@quintz try a buttondevice and add rules for when the button gets pressed then to go to url. Not sure if that would work.

use a buttons device and rules like that :
WHEN play is pressed THEN execute "curl -s http://192.168.2.10:8080/zone/Wohnzimmer/play"

that’s what i am doing with my denon receiver

Thanks @leader21
will try it tonight when I’m home!

Works so far so good! Thanks again.

The execute command returns the lines the http request gives me now as an error…
To avoid error spamming, how can I supress the errorlogging for the pause/play rules?

I unchecked the “Protocol” box inside the rule…

@quintz assuming you used @leader21 suggestion, you do have curl -s? The -s stands for silent. Dont use -S(capital) cause this will spit errors out. Also, from the rules page, disable “logging”.

WHEN play is pressed THEN execute "curl -s http://192.168.2.10:8080/zone/Wohnzimmer/play &>/dev/null"

You can also always redirect the output from stdout and stderr to /dev/null but be aware that you will also not get any error messages.
