Shelly wall display x2 - play sound

I have a Shelly wall display x2 and use the display for showing HA panels.
It works fine, but when I send notification text messages, then I would like Shelly wall display to make at sound (bip-sound) og even greater if I can make a tts message (like I already can to my mobile phones).
I haven’t found a way to get the wall display to make any sound at all. Can anyone help me ?

Does the Shelly expose media_player entities? If it doesn’t, then there’s not much you can do

No :frowning:
Thanx - then I don’t need to spend more time to get Shelly to play anything.

you can use rest api, see list if useful commands

https://community.shelly.cloud/topic/1793-walldisplay-list-for-useful-rpc-commands/

e. g. I use the following rest_command

# data:
#   x: 180    # ([0..719])
#   y: 180    # ([0..719])
shelly_display_tap_command: 
  url: 'http://192.168.200.34/rpc/Ui.Tap?x={{x}}&y={{y}}'
  authentication: digest
  username: 'admin'
  password: !secret shelly_password

OK - then I have to try harder :slightly_smiling_face:
I have setup some rest in my config - I also want to turn on and off the display as well.
But I don’t know how to send the rest command to the display.
I have tryed to do this by making “turn off the screen”.
I have in config file:


rest_command:
shelly_wall_display_off:
url: “http://192.168.0.5//rpc/Ui.Screen.Set?params={\“on\”:false}
method: POST
payload: “”
shelly_wall_display_on:
url: “http://192.168.0.5//rpc/Ui.Screen.Set?params={\“on\”:true}
method: POST
payload: “”


But can’t integrate this in an automation.
I can press this - and it works fine:

And had the plan to integrate this into a automation, but dont know how to do this

So basic question - how do I setup these information in an HA automation ?

Action in automation: ??? don’t know how to do:

action: button.press
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id:
- button.shellywalldisplay_00a90b53e40d_turn_off_the_screen
data: {}

What I want in an automation is something like this:

actions:
type: tile
entity: button.shellywalldisplay_00a90b53e40d_turn_off_the_screen
name: Displ OFF
vertical: false
tap_action:
action: toggle
features_position: bottom

My setup:

in configuration.yaml:

rest_command: !include rest_command.yaml

in secrets.yaml (only needed if you set a password for your Shelly device):

shelly_password: myVerySecretPassword

in rest_command.yaml:

# data: {}
shelly_display_app_restart:
  url: 'http://192.168.200.34/rpc/Sys.RestartApplication'
  authentication: digest
  username: 'admin'
  password: !secret shelly_password

# data:
#   x: 180    # ([0..719])
#   y: 180    # ([0..719])
shelly_display_tap_command: 
  url: 'http://192.168.200.34/rpc/Ui.Tap?x={{x}}&y={{y}}'
  authentication: digest
  username: 'admin'
  password: !secret shelly_password

reload RESTful commands in developer options.

Then in an automation I can then use the rest_command with some error handling:

actions:
  - action: rest_command.shelly_display_tap_command
    data:
      x: "360"
      y: "700"
    response_variable: return_struct
  - if:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ return_struct['content']['response'] != '' }}"
    then:
      - action: notify.persistent_notification
        data:
          title: shelly_display_tap_command
          message: "{{ return_struct['content']['response'] }}"

Thanx :slight_smile:
I have not yet had time to get sound to work.
But if you can get it to work, then I also can with some help :slight_smile:

It is directly like in the above examples, look in the link above for useful commands, e.g. to play a ringtone from the pre-configured ones

follow instructions from above and add:

# data:
#   id: 1         # ([1..numbeOfRingtones])
#   volume: 8     # ([1..maxVolume])
shelly_display_play_ringtone: 
  url: 'http://192.168.200.34/rpc/Media.MediaPlayer.PlayRingtone?id={{id}}&volume={{volume}}'
  authentication: digest
  username: 'admin'
  password: !secret shelly_password

and then you can play a ringtone like this:

action: rest_command.shelly_display_play_ringtone
data:
  id: 1
  volume: 8
response_variable: return_struct
