Google music in HA

FYI, if anyone is on Home Assistant .91 or greater you need to change a line of code in your switch.py file. On line 17 change:

from homeassistant.components.sensor.rest import RestData

to

from homeassistant.components.rest.sensor import RestData

I was getting an error that it could not find homeassistant.components.sensor.rest and that gmusic would not load. Changing it like above fixed my issues.

Can you share your files please? Esp init.py

204

It may be better if someone could put the modified files on a github repo

205

Sharing the file would be awesome.
I never could get it to work.

My config is already on GitHub, maybe you could do that too?

206

I thought I had a workaround for the Config Entry errors.

Removing those entries from gmusic.yaml and instead adding them to gmusic/switch.py did in fact stop the warning message and GM continued to work through 91.4

Today I upgraded to HA 92.0 and unfortunately the GM custom switch now prevents HA from starting. :frowning:

Iā€™m still not receiving any error messages but HA just hangs about halfway through startup. Removing the GM switch resolves the issue and HA starts as expected. I was not expecting this to be a breaking change until next release.

207

So it dies as of 0.92? I had silently prepared myself for it, but was expecting it to come from the Google side, not Hass

check out troy`s post: Google Music in HA -- Using AppDaemon Soon :tm:

@Danielhiversen you see us struggleing? :roll_eyes:

209

Were you able to get it to work? I donā€™t have appdaemon installed, but would to keep this component working

210

Not yet - But very soon - atm getting an KeyError - But I use Hassio on Ubuntu. on FreeNAS its working already

211

Is it Has.io thatā€™s the problem? I run manual in Venv, similar to @troy

212

And the struggle is real :rofl:

Iā€™m fairly certain weā€™ll be able to keep Google Music in Home Assistant one way or another. I have
the (appdaemon version) working in a virtualenv and on my hass.io virtual machine. I donā€™t normally use hass.io so itā€™s taking a little help from others to get the bugs out

troy got it working with Appdeamon Google Music in HA -- Using AppDaemon

@Underknowledge @ajfriesen @tc23 @MomoB @mouth4war @HypnoToad

I hope you still consider to have a look at my expanded appdaemon version of this in the future.
Iā€™ve just put the files on GitHub and updated this post with all the linksā€¦

In other news I also have this custom_compent working in Home Assistant 92.1

Thanks a lot. I was not planning to update to 92.1 because of the risk to loose this custom component but I will give it a go then !

216

@troy, interestingly, the custom component is able to turn on and play music, but it doesnā€™t seem able to turn it off? On 0.92.2. When I toggle the switch off, nothing happens and music continues to play. And thank you so much for doing great work on this component!

217

@tc23 Did it work differently before? I just added the extra files, I did not really change any code in the component. It could be related to the missing previous next controls.

I have my appdaemon version of this working very well now. Iā€™m starting to work on creating a new custom component for this. I just need to figure out if this should be a new custom component or if it should be a new platform for the media player component.

In the prior custom component, it stopped the music as well. But itā€™s alright, I just added a node red automation to turn off the respective Media players when the switch turns off. Iā€™ll probably switch over to the appdaemon, but needed the custom component for the interim.

Hey everybody! Iā€™ve updated these files on github.

  • The previous ā€œConfig Warningā€ workaround is no longer required!
    Settings have moved back into packages/gmusic_switch.yaml.

  • The media_player will now power off when the gmusic switch is turned off @tc23

  • Removed unnecessary code

If your were using these files before May 11 2019, you should update ALL the files

Thanks so much @troy! You the real MVP!

Iā€™m not seeing the media player turn off when the switch is turned off. I see @tc23 added this in a script but not in the code? Maybe Iā€™m missing it.
