Announce: LMS Controls - Google Home / Google Assistant Voice Control of LMS Players

[grimmace92]

Thanks you beat me to it. Ynot.

*** EDIT ***
GitHub Source has now been updated for this required change. time -> time_pattern; Jan 24, 2019

I just updated to HA 0.87.1 and I'm getting this error

Tue Feb 19 2019 11:54:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
Error while executing automation automation.lms_gui_update_player_values. Invalid data for call_service at pos 2: expected float for dictionary value @ data['value']

I downloaded the new lmscontrols.yaml file for the time pattern change. Is there something else I was supposed to do?

If using that new file, then you would have to make the changes you made in the old lmscontrols.yaml file, or easier still open your existing lmscontrols.yaml file and change the line in the automation section:

      - platform: time

to

     - platform: time_pattern

The above change will ensure the shell script player_stat.sh will run every minute.

However your error indicates the player_stat.sh script is not returning a proper value for volume. This is usually caused by the player's mac address being incorrect or not formatted properly so the query returns an invalid value. Please ensure your player's mac address is all lower case. Worst case, run the player_stat.sh script in the shell using the mac address a review the returned values for errors.

Hope that helps. Ynot

This is probably completely wrong...but would this system allow me to use my Home to stream to Squeezelite Players? Basically like I currently do with my Chromecast Audios

The tool is designed to provide voice control of and a Home Assistant GUI for LMS server. Using the LMS server, you can stream (with the chromecast and UPNP addons) to any Chromecast, Squeezeplayer or UPNP device. To date the following streams are supported: LMS local music database, Spotify and any radio stations or other streamed sources if defined as LMS playlists.

So strictly speaking while you could not say "Hey Google play Supertramp in the kitchen" you could say "Hey Google ask LMS controls to play Supertramp in the kitchen". Where the kitchen is a chromecast, squeezeplayer or UPNP device. The command will then stream Supertramp either from Spotify or LMS database. See the following link for further details: https://github.com/ynot123/LMS_Controls

Hope that answers your question.

Dialogflow V1 api will be deprecated on October 23, 2019. If you are still using the V1 API, it is recommended to change your settings in Dialogflow to use the V2 API. No changes to your intents yaml configuration need to take place after upgrading to the V2 API.

To update the Dialogflow project, in Dialogflow console, simply press the gear icon and change from V1 to V2. Give it a try.

I have a puzzler. When I send the DialogFlow intent, the selected player does not activate. I get no errors. The music plays on whatever the Media Player Name is set to on the Home Assistant overview page.

Taking a quick look I see your media players are defined as media_player.Kitchen but is return by dialogflow as lowercase "kitchen". In lmscontrols.yaml try using lowercase names for media_player.kitchen, media_player.basement, etc..

Sorry for the late reply. Ynot

Dec. 12, 2019 Breaking Change - Upgrade of HA to version 0.103 requires Squeezebox service syntax change

Please note, with the upgrade of HA to Version 0.103 the syntax has change for Squeezebox service calls. In the script lmscontrols.yaml the command media_player.squeezebox_call_method needs to be changed to squeezebox.call_method

This command appears 41 times in the .yaml file.

I finally got around to setting up a Home Assistant server, and just wanted to say thank you as it is awesome!

I definitely have a learning curve as I suspect if I know what I'm doing I should be able to re-use some of the commands built into this set from in other scripts/automatons?

Very happy! Thanks for sharing the development work!
