Moode audio intergration

Third party integrations
21

I took a different approach. moOdeAudio is really a full-featured UI over MPD, as well as a handy way to organize a music library, create playlists and manage favorite streaming channels. So I decided to create a separate tab to display the moOde UI directly in an iframe:

- cards:
    - aspect_ratio: 55%
      type: iframe
      url: 'http://192.168.1.100'
  icon: 'mdi:music-circle-outline'
  panel: true
  title: moOde Audio

This way, I can interact with moOde within the context of HA. I let HA handle my AV receiver to control the volume, as well as whether music plays in other zones.

I did find it handy to use the mpd component to expose buttons for starting/stopping/ffwd/rew operations within HA.

@tomplums did you install lms on the HA server? how?
Iā€™m been using moodeaudio for years and messing around with picoreplayer and lms feels like a step back into the 90s!
I canā€™t even work out how to get a bbc radio 6 stream running :roll_eyes:
how do you deal with selecting a particular album to play?
thanks!

Hello - no I run LMS from a docker container on my server. It can look a little old fashioned until you install this skin https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-material

Adding plugins for spotify, mixcloud, tunein radio, soundcloud etc brings it right up to date. I use it daily and itā€™s perfect with picoreplayer.

Hereā€™s the docker container I use: https://github.com/apnar/docker-image-logitech-media-server

ok cheers Iā€™ll persevereā€¦
what flavour server are you using?
Iā€™ve just set up HA on an Odroid C2 but Iā€™ve got an old intel motherboard kicking around that I could use to set up a ā€˜proper serverā€™ā€¦
I think this HA software has a slightly confused ā€˜existenceā€™ :laughing:
I read only Debian servers are supported but then this image that I just downloaded yesterday is running aarch64ā€¦great I thought cos Iā€™m familiar with arch but this weird config on the Odroid doesnā€™t let you properly get at the base OS and now I discovered aarch64 just means ARM 64 bit architecture so christ knows what OS it is running :crazy_face:
Yours confused!

Hello I also have a similar setup, I am using a few pis with PiCorePlayer and a mac based LMS server and a HA os on a rpi4.
Care to elaborate on your setup, I currently am able to do multi-room audio but I control it mainly from Picoreā€™s Materialā€™s web interface. Although i see it in HA i havenā€™t been able to find a way to build a card that would automatically switch to say the Main living room player that has a Great DAC attached to it or the use the audio from itā€™s HDMI when i want 5.1 or squeeze-cast while showing just that entityā€¦ I would like not to have to show/see all 5 possible entities for a single playerā€¦ I mean see only the one thatā€™s playing currently.

Iā€™d like to see your card for audio!
Here what mine currently looks like, It works but iā€™m not satisfied.

I have the same issue.
I think I will do it similar to this solution but rather use mqtt instead of ifttt

Basically it gives you a trigger when the speakers get active independent of the audio source
