Hi,
Reading through the monthly WTH I got reminded of one of the to-do things on my huge list.
I use Logitech Media Server for multi-room audio, and one of the players doubles as a doorbell. I always wanted it to be able to resume playing music, after the doorbell has rung.
Unfortunately LMS does not support Announcements out of the box, but you can achieve the functionality by adding a plugin to LMS. I found this nice plugin: LMS Announce
For my doorbell, I have popped this into configuration.yaml
shell_command:
play_doorbell: curl -G 'http://192.168.8.100:9000/plugins/LMSannounce/js.html?cmd=announcePlaylist&playlist=doorbell&playerid=B8%3A27%3AEB%3AE8%3AF2%3A20'
and use
service: shell_command.play_doorbell
to in an automation to call the command.
