finally integrated into home automation
#31
Thanks, tried the homebridge plugin today. However, I was a bit disapointed that I can only control the volume, the light switch to turn music on and of does not work. Is that something that is not possible via UPNP or is it just not implemented?

Did you see this: https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-zp/issues/21
Could be a way to make it appear as a speaker and not a light...

Thanks anyway for sharing

Hi Florian.
As home kit is today, it's not possible to have the Devialet act as a speaker in Homebridge. 
As far as I know for today, I'm not even sure the speaker in home kit will let us play with volume switch.
So for now, the only way is using light indicator to use volume up and down ( and use Siri of course ).

We're indeed working on the Light on with a variable you could use in config ( like 30% ) and light off that could put the volume to 0%.
this will be our next update !

Hi Walther,

Thanks for your work, works like a charm on a pi zero W hidden behind my tv Smile

Great that it worked for You! I just posted it to github to have a backup, the Code is quite messy (pull requests are welcome...). However it has worked for me since I posted it and hopefully it won’t be needed as soon as Devialet gets their act together. Thanks to da2001 for the upnp work as well.

Hi Florian, 

Long time I've not been here, but seing your last message, I wanted you to know that update has been made to the module Homebridge.
You can now turn Off and On the sound
To prevent any damage to the speakers, the on function will turn the sound to 35%.

Have fun,

Steven

You can use the Phantoms by bluetooth with your google home devices.

Hi there,
I just started playing with OpenHab2 the other day, one of my main goals is to get my phantom to be controlled  directly by the Harmony Remote (using Mediportal on Windows)...is OpenHab the easiest way to achieved that...? I couldn't find a Binding for the Phantom, can the shared code be used to create one...? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Steven

I haven't been in the forum for a while. When I saw your post I quickly updated all my Homebridge stuff, however the https://github.com/jeyremy/homebridge-devialet-bridge plugin has not been modified since August 2018 and does not contain the changes you are referring to. Has the code moved to another location?

Thanks
Florian

Hi Steven

yes, I have seen this, but it does not actually stop the media player, it just set the volume to 0. :-( 

I am looking for a solution that turns the device off completely. I played a bit with UPNP commands and found urnConfusedchemas-upnp-orgConfusedervice:ConnectionManager:2, urnConfusedchemas-upnp-orgConfusedervice:AVTransport:2 and urnConfusedchemas-upnp-orgConfusedervice:RenderingControl:2 in the service list. 

With RenderingControl:2 you can control the volume, set mute etc. This all works. 

However, when trying AVTransport:2 I was not able to make the start/stop/pause commands to work. I no clue about the UPNP protocol, so I'm unsure if AVTransport:2 only works for the device that initiated the playing of a media source or if it just does not work. 


What bothers me is that I am not able to just stop playback phantom via a command other than taking my phone out of the pocket, fire up the cluncky Spark app, wait until it is there and then press the pause button there. 

If someone knows how this command could be triggered via Dialog, that would be superb. I just found out that the Dialog has a very nice UI at port 8000 where you can change the Airplay device name to something more usefull than "Livingroom", it would be so handy if they added some links there to trigger start and stop of playback as well.

I tested this solution, it works but the lag between Phantom speakers and other devices is quite important, so don't let Phantoms and Sonos be simultaneously within earshot.
Another problem, when switching on or changing sources, the Phantoms' volume setting returns to 35, it will be necessary to play between the Phantoms' volume and the musical selection on the Sonos, not very practical, the Phantom remote can be the solution.
It should also be noted that the audio quality of Sonos Connect is lower than that of a Bluesound Node 2 or Yamaha MX-C50 for example.
