Ok, good news.
I need to get a second Ikea Symfonisk for testing and stereo music of course

Hi bertreb,
I like to ask forplay vol [0-100]
. Could you be so kind to reimplement it? -
Thx, it works!
-
My test was only for the possibility to set the volume. As written, this works fine. But
play text...
does not work for me anymore. -
Thx, works incl. announcements
-
Maybe I’ve missed something but is this another command than “vol” we’ve used before?
In my rules I’m now using “play file *.mp3 vol 25 on speakers”.
Do I need to change this? -
Hi there,
Still having issues with status of the speakers. See attached screenshot, all speakers are idle (no streams playing, also no streams paused, checked this in the home app) but still pimatic-sounds reports as if the speakers are on pause. When a new rule activates the speakers when in this state the speakers start playing the last radiostream that was started before. So it looks like it’s caching something that’s not right.
Do you understand what I mean? -
In Google home nothing is playing. The paused status in pimatic appears after playing a mp3 (doorbell.mp3) with pimatic-sounds.
Just tested by simply starting a radio stream and then stopping it (hey Google stop), status in pimatic-sounds does not get updated. So it still displays the previous state (the started stream)
-
Thanks! As you can see in the last screenshots pimatic reports both “speakers beneden” and “woonkamer speakers” are playing wich is impossible since woonkamer speakers are part of the “speakers beneden” speakergroup.

Seems logical but when I say “hey Google luister naar 3fm op speakers beneden” only the “speakers beneden” device reports a status update that it is playing. In this case (with this screenshots) I’ve done the following speech commands:
1 hey Google luister naar 3fm op speakers beneden.
(Status in pimatic changed from the previous pause to playing and program name)2 hey Google stop.
(Stream stops, Google home app says nothing is playing, pimatic still says speakers beneden are playing. Closed and force stopped the browser to make sure no caching occured but after logging in on pimatic status was still “playing”)3 hey Google luister naar 3fm op woonkamer speakers.
(Status of “woonkamer speakers” got updated to playing with program name, status of “speakers beneden” remains unchanged.For reference:
“speakers beneden” is a speakergroup that contains “woonkamer speakers”, “Google hub keuken” and “Google mini badkamer”“Woonkamer speakers” is a stereo speaker pair of 2 Google home speakers (so not a regular speaker group, when assigned as stereo pair the right speaker (in my case) becomes a slave speaker and in the Google home app the stereo pair appear as a single device with balance control in the settings)
If you need more details you have my number

Thank for the info. Your config is bigger than what i can test.
I tested a single google home with text and mp3, and the status follows what happens.
So the issues must be the grouping and pairing of speakers and there states.
I need some time to find out how to test and fix the possible scenarios. -
Yeah, pimatic is in control of a lot hahahaha
-
I was wondering: is the state of the google speakers available in the rules? Because if it is I could make e set of rules depending on what speaker or group is playing like
Rule 1 “if state of speakers beneden is “playing” and doorbell is pressed then play test.mp3 on speakers beneden”
Rule 2 “if state of woonkamer speakers is “playing” and doorbell is pressed then play test.mp3 on woonkamer speakers and play test.mp3 on google hub keuken and play test.mp3 on Google mini badkamer”
Rule 3 “if state of speakers beneden is “idle” and if state of woonkamer speakers is “idle” and doorbell is pressed then play test.mp3 on speakers beneden”
Don’t know if these rules would interfere with each other though…
