finally integrated into home automation

[gelasma]

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

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

here it is

have fun !

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 urnchemas-upnp-orgervice:ConnectionManager:2, urnchemas-upnp-orgervice:AVTransport:2 and urnchemas-upnp-orgervice: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.
