LinkPlay Integration

Ohhh! Yes it works! if you solve multiroom also i will love you forever
buying audiopro and missing out on the google home was a big bummer, but this will cover my needs all the way!

This part i dont get, can i get buttons for the presets to?

{% linkable_title Service `linkplay_preset_button` %}

Simulate pressing one of the physical preset buttons on the device.

Service data attribute	Optional	Description
`entity_id`	no	Name(s) of the Linkplay devices where the button should be pressed.
`preset`	no	The preset button to simulate pressing.

Multiroom is more or less done. I can add/remove “slaves” and set individual volume/mute when in multiroom mode. Left to do is being able to set L/R channel and full group volume/mute. And a LOT of testing

Regarding presets, its used to “press” one of the four numbered buttons on top of the device where you can save radio channles/playlists etc.

This functionallity can only be used from the “Services” page though. I haven’t done any modifications to the actual user interface…

Tag me when you want me to update my .py file for tests

nicjo814 · December 19, 2018, 10:06pm

Will do! Thanks for helping out.

malinduta · January 12, 2019, 12:10am

I’m just testing this setup… I can control the source, play buttons, volume.
The state is unknown most of the time. Sometimes it shows playing. Is there a way to make it send info from speaker to home assistant?

Could not make tts to work. Am I missing something?

malinduta · January 12, 2019, 11:42pm

@ nicjo814 Any thoughts why this message shows up?
“Unable To Connect To Device”

Sorry for being late to the party…

I’d love to help testing, can’t believe I missed this…

Will try now!

Didn’t work.

Should one start trying things, say pip3 install upnpclient or did I just do something stupid…?

nicjo814 · January 13, 2019, 7:38pm

That was strange. It should download upnpclient and install it automatically. I guess you could try to install it manually, but I haven’t tried that myself. Thanks for testing and reporting back!

nicjo814 · January 13, 2019, 7:40pm

What brand/model is your device? I’ve only tested it with AudioPro devices… Maybe the API isn’t as “generic” between devices as I had hoped.

malinduta · January 13, 2019, 8:26pm

The speaker is a Promate Streambox-L https://uae.souq.com/ae-en/promate-true-wireless-speaker-powerful-bluetooth-speaker-with-wifi-streaming-and-digital-internet-radio-built-in-mic-sd-card-slot-usb-input-and-aux-input-for-smartphones-tablets-mp3-and-mp4-streambox-l-blk-blu-22046599/i/

On the electronics inside it is written LinkPlay A31 https://fccid.io/2AAPP-A31/User-Manual/15-A31-UserMan-pdf-3034717

It can be controlled using https://github.com/AndersFluur/IEastMediaRoom

TTS is working fine if SSL is disabled.

Sending commands using your addon is working, but receiving the state from the speaker is not working.

pappajohan · January 13, 2019, 9:10pm

Tried that, but got a new error.

It might be that I made something else wrong, never used a custom component before.

Could you post the output from the following two URLs while your device is playing Spotify (if possible)
http:///httpapi.asp?command=getPlayerStatus
http:///httpapi.asp?command=getStatus

Make sure that there is no sensitive info in the output before posting I need to compare which “keys” are available on your device…

nicjo814 · January 15, 2019, 7:38pm

I see that you are running Python 3.5 and my system is using 3.6. What version of HA are you using? I’ve tested the component on 0.83

malinduta · January 15, 2019, 9:25pm

Theoretically, the speaker can play spotify, but it does not show on available devices on spotify.

Maybe I am doing something wrong… I have never used spotify before.

Can I post the output from other source?

nicjo814 · January 15, 2019, 9:38pm

Sure, it should be fine with any source. It’s just that I’ve had some issues with Spotify playback that might be fixed on other devices

malinduta · January 15, 2019, 9:44pm

Bluetooth connected on spotify. Hope it helps.

Thanks! I can see that one key that I’m using to determine content type is missing in your output. Will have to try and figure out how to work around that It’ll probably take a few days though…
