slaCmdr - pilot your phantoms from the command line - scotthar - 13-Mar-2022 Hi All, introducing slaCmdr 1.0 R2 https://halrad.com/slaCmdr/ HALRAD sound labs automation commander. slaCmdr.exe - Rhymes with Salamander but is more like a Chameleon, piloting your Devialet Phantom Speakers. Lives near a tree or under a Gecko, hidden by what ever it is you integrate it into... Puts you in the drivers seat piloting Devialet Phantom Speakers. What is it? A command line interface for Devialet Phantom speaker. Why? slaCmdr provides a command | shell interface for the Devialet Phantom speakers. Initially this is conceived for use with small touch screens and an elgato Stream Deck as a simple way to control phantom speakers. Where does it work? Built tested: Windows 10, using .net - in theory should work cross-platform with appropriate .net support. Where is it? https://halrad.com/slaCmdr/ slacmdr_win-x86_R2.zip (Windows x86 SIGNED self-contained 'single' binary release. No install needed, required. Just unzip it and run it.) Implemented using C# - source can be made available to you if you want it - but not included. slaCmdr.exe - usage slaCmdr.exe -Discover (experimental: query network for mDNS "_http._tcp.local." hosts) slaCmdr.exe -SystemIP -RootNameSpace [operation] - SystemIP: IPaddress of Devialet Phantom control point. - 'RNS' RootNameSpace: Operate on one of a (Device | System | Group) object. Examples Uses: As an automation command line. 1) slcmdr.exe 192.168.0.15 RNS [-GetNowPlaying | -GetSourceList] 2) slcmdr.exe 192.168.0.15 RNS -PlaySource sourceID 3) slcmdr.exe 192.168.0.15 RNS -Play 4) slcmdr.exe 192.168.0.15 RNS -Pause 5) slcmdr.exe 192.168.0.15 RNS -VolUp 6) slcmdr.exe 192.168.0.15 RNS -VolDown 7) note: more of a true CLI interface is planned and in the works but not part of the R2 release. How to use it Its a command line tool, run it from anything you can call a command from. You could call it to Play, Pause, Play a source, turn the volume up or down. Theater or Music applications that enable you to run external commands for example. Home automation? Known working / tested scenarios: Create desktop shortcut or pin shortcuts to the start menu for Play, Pause, Vol Up , Vol Down, or play your favorite sources. To simply start the current source playing the short cut target might look something like this: c:\tools\slacmdr_win-x86_r2.exe 192.168.0.15 groups -Play You could assign a hotkey to the shortcut to execute the command to run the shortcut via a hot-key combination. This is handy on a small screen or touch screen enabled device as an alternative to slPhantomTray. Assign commands to Buttons on your elgato Stream Deck. You can use the 'BarRaider advanced launcher' to run a commend when a button is pressed. That command in this scenario is to slaCmdr. TODO: investigate a Stream Deck plug-in, but for now opted for a command line approach first for its simplicity and re-usability. This is already working. But could be better.... by displaying status (Volume, Play State) via the buttons. The Phillips HUE plugin looks nice but the C++ CPU plug in might be a better starting point... regards scott- RE: slaCmdr - pilot your phantoms from the command line - tonin - 20-Apr-2022 Hey Scott, Playing with the REST API, seems the volume POST request doesn't work I see you're not using it neither, do you have the same issue: whatever in the body it turns volume down to 0. Thanks ! RE: slaCmdr - pilot your phantoms from the command line - ogs - 20-Apr-2022 (13-Mar-2022, 10:23)scotthar Wrote: Puts you in the drivers seat piloting Devialet Phantom Speakers. Hi is there a function for "invert" among the Phantom API calls?

I tried harder, re-read the doc to make sure its was documented to work... eventually did confirm with support can only use the +- 5% vol up down in 2.14. Its something for the future, despite what the doc says. scott- RE: slaCmdr - pilot your phantoms from the command line - scotthar - 23-Apr-2022 (20-Apr-2022, 19:10)ogs Wrote:(13-Mar-2022, 10:23)scotthar Wrote: Puts you in the drivers seat piloting Devialet Phantom Speakers. HI Ogs! At least not via the control API which is a *subset* of what you can do in the APP to select devices, assign sources, play, pause, mute, unmute, change the volume. The control API is the only API i am aware of. BUT I would bet on the existence of other API interfaces for say source plug-in (think for things like spotify, rune) but i don't know anything about them or the capabilities. In some alternate reality, if they cross-pollinate Phantom code with some of the Gemini code they already have it in theory.... just need to hook up the right wires and plumbing. ;-) scott- RE: slaCmdr - pilot your phantoms from the command line - tonin - 25-Apr-2022 (23-Apr-2022, 06:51)scotthar Wrote:(20-Apr-2022, 11:43)tonin Wrote: Hey Scott, Thanks Scott !! |
