Random radios to play

1

I have this script that turns on radio every morning:

accendi_radio_mattina:
  alias: Accendi Radio Mattina
  sequence:
    - service: switch.turn_on
      entity_id: switch.ampli_on
    - delay: 00:00:01
    - service: media_player.volume_set
      data_template:
        entity_id: media_player.salotto_audio
        volume_level: 0.5
    - service: input_number.set_value
      data_template:
        entity_id: input_number.radio_volume
        value: 0.5
    - service: input_boolean.turn_on
      entity_id: input_boolean.radio_play
    - service: media_player.play_media
      data_template:
        entity_id: media_player.salotto_audio
        media_content_id: "http://broadcast.infomaniak.net/tsfjazz-high.mp3"
        media_content_type: 'audio/mp4'

But i have several radio station configured in another script. How to change this script to turn on randomly radios configured in another script?

The list of configured radios is the following:

you need to get a random number in your stations range
You can either get that number at the beginning of your automation using range(1,45) | random

or you can have one that is based on the random platform that you can refer to at any time:

- platform: random
  name: random_station_number
  minimum: 1
  maximum: 44
  scan_interval: 300

Then you could go through your list of radio station checking the random number.
Say you got for the 2nd option, it would look like that:

media_content_id: >
  {% if is_state('sensor.random_station_number','1') %} http://icecast-qmusic.cdp.triple-it.nl/Qmusic_nl_live_96.mp3

I tried in this way:

- service: media_player.play_media
  data_template:
    entity_id: media_player.salotto_audio
    media_content_id: >
      {{ ["http://listen.181fm.com/181-power_128k.mp3?", "http://radio-th.com:8002/;", "http://icecast.unitedradio.it/Virgin.mp3", "http://91.221.151.155/listen.mp3", "http://listen.shoutcast.com/Classic-RockFlorida", "http://broadcast.infomaniak.net/tsfjazz-high.mp3", "http://tx.sharp-stream.com/icecast.php?i=jazzfmmobile.mp3", "http://peridot.streamguys.com:7010/bblive-sgplayer", "http://stream1.rds.it:8000/rds64k", "http://edge.radiomontecarlo.net/MC2.mp3"] | random }}        
    media_content_type: 'audio/mp4'

Is it working the same as yours?

4

Oh that’s way more elegant than my solution :+1:

5

Ok thanks… Is a better way to indent my solution, to avoid that so long line?

6

May i ask another thing?
Well i have the tts.google_say service that tells me the name of the radio station playing, but if i use a random choice, how to tell tts.google_say which is the name of the randomly chosen station?

7

since you used the > in media_content_id: > you can spread it over several lines without issues

8

Can you give me an example on how to divide and indent those lines?

9

ah if you want it this way you probably need an automation/script that will set your input_select to a random station, so kinda back to my first “inelegant” solution :smiley:

That’s good… :ok_hand:
