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

[ynot1234567890]

Hi, It works well. A question: Is there a way to talk in my language (italiano)? So instead to Say "play the Doors in the kitchen" i would Say "riproduci the Doors in cucina".
Thanks

I believe you could make that work by changing the language setting to Italian in DialogFlow and then changing the phrases. I did do a bit of work for French and it seems to work (mostly). My French is a bit rough.

Glad it worked out. As for the Favorite and Random mix, I've never really made use of those features in LMS, I use a similar feature with Spotify via LMS.

I will consider the implementation of these LMS features in my Winter upgrade (should have some free time). There are a few other items on the to do list as well.

Stay Tuned. Ynot

At the risk of being a pest, would there be any chance you'd implement this anytime soon?

Hi all,
Really willing to control my SBs with Google Assistant/home - I really think this is the biggest missing part of our beloved LMS infrastructure.
I have started looking at Home Assistant and have read instruction on Github about LMS Controls. I got quickly discouraged unfortunately :-). Having to use dyndns and opening ports were the main obstacles.
While playing a little bit with Hassio, I have discovered Nabu Casa and was wondering if this could be used, partially used or not?
I would definitely pay a fee if I was getting an almost plug and play service to connect LMS to GA.
Thx for your feedback!

Hi !
I'm struggling with the install.
I'm using Hassio installed on a Synology through docker.
I don't get how to access the files outside docker (for the shell commands, in lmscontrols.yaml)

 shell_command:
  lms_qry_alb: 'bash /config/shell/qry_alb.sh {{text1}} {{text2}}'
  lms_qry_alb_song: 'bash /config/shell/qry_alb_song.sh {{text1}} {{text2}} {{text3}}'
  lms_qry_art: 'bash /config/shell/qry_art.sh {{text1}}'
  lms_qry_playlist: 'bash /config/shell/qry_playlist.sh {{text1}}'
  lms_spot_art: 'bash /config/shell/spot_art_top.sh {{text1}}'
  lms_spot_art_alb: 'bash /config/shell/spot_art_alb.sh {{text1}} {{text2}}'
  lms_spot_art_alb_song: 'bash /config/shell/spot_art_alb_song.sh {{text1}} {{text2}} {{text3}}'
  lms_spot_playlist: 'bash /config/shell/spot_playlist.sh {{text1}}'
  lms_qry_player_stat: 'bash /config/shell/qry_player_stat.sh {{text1}}'

Did someone manage to get it work LMS control on a Synology NAS with HASSIO in a Docker container ?
Thank you in advance for your help

I run a very old release of Home Assistant (0.65.0) on Lubuntu/Docker. The last time I tried to upgrade to a newer release I spent a few hours trying to fix the things that were broken in my config but eventually gave up.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get this running with older (pre-Lovelace) versions of HA which don't have an "Integrations" menu option in the UI?

Hello Tony/ynot,

Long after your add-on was released, Google made it easier to control media players.

Yesterday I experimented with the Google / HA (local install not Nabu Casa or Docker) out-of-the-box and I have basic pause/resume & volume working.

I know that your add-on adds a lot more.

My question ... with the newish capabilities from Google Assistant for controlling media players would it be feasible to use their capability without having to go through Dialogue Flow?

If the HA built-in capability include treating LMS favourites like Input Selectors then I think I would not need anything more and am tempted to see if I can add that into the standard HA.
Then I could say something like
set input to preset 4 on bedroom radio
to play BBC Radio 4 on a bedroom Squeezebox.
