Logwatcher help

---

Hello all.

I have installed the sonos api. Its working good. Now i want to create a page for te sonos in my GUI.

I have created a shell sensor that writes the state to a log file. Now i want to get the information from the log file with logwatcher.

for example:
“artist”:“Sky Radio 101 FM”,“title”:“Dua Lipa - Be The One”

How can i manage to display the current title?
Thanks for the help.

@countjuh

Is the output of the state page json?
If so, it should be pretty easy with JQ

Try,
curl http://yoursonos:port/getstatecommand | jq '.'
What does it say?

Hmm, based on the example given by the sonos api, here are some simple jq commands, which you can use as a shell device to output the received data(volume, title etc)

Artist plus title;

curl -s http://192.168.2.250:5005/Woonkamer/state | jq -r '.currentTrack | "\(.artist) : \(.title)"'


College : Teenage Color - Anoraak Remix

Current volume:

Getting the state and volume in the same command:

curl -s http://192.168.2.250:5005/Woonkamer/state | jq -r '. | "\(.playerState) @ Volume \(.volume)"'


PLAYING @ Volume 18

Be creative haha

If i do curl http://192.168.2.250:5005/Woonkamer/state | jq ‘.’

then i get

{
  "volume": 15,
  "mute": false,
  "equalizer": {
    "bass": 0,
    "treble": 9,
    "loudness": true
  },
  "currentTrack": {
    "artist": "Sky Radio 101 FM",
    "title": "Lene Marlin - Sitting Down Here",
    "albumArtUri": "/getaa?s=1&u=x-sonosapi-stream%3as9067%3fsid%3d254%26flags%3d8224%26sn%3d0",
    "duration": 0,
    "uri": "x-sonosapi-stream:s9067?sid=254&flags=8224&sn=0",
    "type": "radio",
    "stationName": "Sky Radio 101 FM",
    "absoluteAlbumArtUri": "http://192.168.2.13:1400/getaa?s=1&u=x-sonosapi-stream%3as9067%3fsid%3d254%26flags%3d8224%26sn%3d0"
  },
  "nextTrack": {
    "artist": "",
    "title": "",
    "album": "",
    "albumArtUri": "",
    "duration": 0,
    "uri": ""
  },
  "trackNo": 1,
  "elapsedTime": 137,
  "elapsedTimeFormatted": "00:02:17",
  "playbackState": "PLAYING",
  "playMode": {
    "repeat": "none",
    "shuffle": false,
    "crossfade": false
  }
}

and now?
