Raumfeld / Teufel DLNA with Home Assistant

Hello @sebathue!

Playing a radio station or Tidal album or other content should work via the service media_player.play_media of teufel_raumfeld's Media Player integration. A short explanation can be found in this comment: Add tune-in service · Issue #3 · B5r1oJ0A9G/teufel_raumfeld · GitHub

In this comment you’ll find an example for a Script playing a radio station: How to poll current media id / use in automations. · Discussion #10 · B5r1oJ0A9G/teufel_raumfeld · GitHub

Hi Marc! Thanks for your great work with the integration of Raumfeld in HASS. I‘ve used it daily without any problems and it worked perfect. Unfortunately since the latest HASS update to 2022.4. this integration doesn’t work anymore. Could you try to fix this issue. This would be great…

Thanks

Hi @wunni!

Glad to hear that the integration is providing an added value to you. btittelbach identified the root cause with recent HASS versions and conributed a fix for it: Hass 2022.4.0 not loaded and can't remove/readd · Issue #31 · B5r1oJ0A9G/teufel_raumfeld · GitHub. The fix has been implemented with release 0.1.12a.

Thank you for this information!

Since the Teufel Raumfeld Integration doesn’t Work anymore, do you have any other solutions/workarounds to Control Teufel Raumfeld from Homeassistant?
Looking Forward for your solutions :wink:

@blackmore in my case, I sold all my Teufel gear and went with Musiccast devices. They integrate well with Home Assistant and are supported with an official integration.

For your information: The integration should work again. Thanks to the notes in the issue tracker, the problems were finally fixed quickly. I had to invest most of my time in restoring the development environment and refreshing my knowledge of the update procedure.

Hi together,

the Integration seems to do not work since latest update of homeassistant. Is there a Chance to get it to work again?
Dies anybody has another solution to control raumfeld devices from homeassistant? Thanks a lot!

I run Homeassistant Version 2024.2.5 at the moment and Raumfeld integration v01.15-alpha3. The Raumfeld integration is working fine … with one issue though:
If I did run Spotify over Raumfeld (via native Spotify and Raumfeld apps) as the last Raumfeld stream before I use the media_player.play_media service to run e.g. a radio station on the Raumfeld device, I get “Error running action: unknown error”. Is this something that can get fixed?

@B5r1oJ0A9G
i‘m using your addon and it just works, thanks!
I just wonder what you or other Raumfeld owner archived by automations.

Does someone is able to start Spotify Playback on a group by automation ?

Currently I’m trying out how the station Buttons behaves saving Spotify and triggering this as a workaround.

Hi there, I tried to overcome the limitations of the existing Teufel Integrations and have developed a new one, following a different approach. Does anyone want to help beta-testing it?

I tried to focus on:

  • Simplicity and stability
  • Speed + low footprint on the Raumfeld devices.
  • Solid integration of Spotify Connect next to Raumfeld native playback. Tested well with Raumfeld mode in TuneIn, Spotify Connect, Chromecast Playback
  • Supports Multiroom
  • Tries to support Music Assistant as good as possible.

What I personally realized with it:

  • Ikea Styrbar as a fast reliable remote control for radio stations (left/right switches between radio stations, top/bottom controles voume. Long press swiches off.
  • Global off switch which switches off all Raumfeld Devices in every room.
  • Full Playback possibilities through Music Assisstant.

If you’d like to try it out, go to https://github.com/ulilicht/ha-raumkernel and follow the instructions there. Would be great to get your feedback.
