Getting the current state of the SB Boom

[Tamex]

Hi.

Currently I have a SB Touch as Server, a SB Radio and a SB Boom. The Boom and the Radio connected to the server of the Touch. All works fine.

Also I have a FritzBox with a freetz firmware and I ported the Telldus software for the TellStick to freetz. With the TellStick I can manage my home automation like enabling lights and power outlets.

I want to enable my light in the bedroom if the alarm of the Boom is activated and I am thinking about it which possibilities I have. The Boom has no SSH access. This is bad. Has anybody an idea how I can find out the state of the Boom? I am not really interested in analysing the networktraffic between my router and the Boom for guessing that the the alarm of the Boom is activated.

May be somebody has some hints in which direction I can starting my research!

<edit on>
I have following ideas(braindumps):
1. FritzBox (freetz) connecting to Touch(SSH) or Boom(no SSH) and analyses the state or a log file (in the log of the Touch I can't find any hints for the alarm).
2. I can define a trigger and the Boom is sending an event to the Touch (log entry) / FritzBox (port knocking).
3. The SB Radio is in synch with the Boom. If the alarm of the Boom activated the SB Radio should switched on to. Via SSH I am getting the state of the Radio. I don't like this idea because I don't want to have the Radio in synch with the Boom all the time.
4. I am analyzing periodically the traffic between my FritzBox and the Boom. If the time inside my common alarm time I have to guess. (I don't like this idea, to much guessing and assumptions).
5. My FritzBox checks periodically the alarm properties of the boom and creates new cron jobs.
6. To be continued ...

The most of this possibilities are depending on the functionalities of the Boom or Touch.

Boom is a dumb device - it plays audio, displays pixels and tells server a button has been pressed.

All the knowledge that an alarm is active is in the server. You need to communicate with the server.

Ok, thank you. I can imagine this.

Then I have to find out the reason that the syslogd of the Touch is exiting periodically without reaching the max filsize.

Use the CLI or JSON/RPC to get the status of your players. Check the API
documentation in LMS (you'll have to install it on your computer for easy
access, or figure it out from
http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/sli...s/cli-api.html
:-))

Thank you, for this hint! I tried and played a little bit with it and it seems that this is the answer. I can take a look and make changes to the alarm properties on the Boom. This is fine. No I have to find out if the alarm is currently active (without calculating the alarmtime).

Best regards

Hi Tamex,

I'm actually quite interested in "... I ported the Telldus software for the TellStick to freetz..."

Could you help me / provide instruction how to do this? Can I PM / e-mail you directly on this?

My questions are actually not really related to this forum...sorry for that!

I'm not completely new to freetz, but porting the Telldus source is still a bridge to far for me without some help.

Hi Michael.

I think you are an employee of Logitech!? Can you please check your postet html link because my browsers shows only the source of this site. It seems that some tags are destroyed.

Small Workaround:

Click in your browser "View Source". Copy all the stuff and paste it to a new html file on your local storage.
Delete all text until "<p><a href="#Supported Commands">Experts, jump directly to the command index</a></p>" and replace it with <html><body>". Scroll to the end and delete "[% PROCESS helpfooter.html %]" and replace it with "</body></html>".
