Is here anyone using Volumio?

Add-ons Bindings
21

I will stop my work on the volumio binding for now… Just received a Sonos Play:1.

22

That’s a shame really. Are you planning to at least submit the working part of the Binding as a PR? Would be sad to let all the work go to waste… :frowning:

Yep. Sorry for that. But it was really fun to work with openhab in that kind of way.

I guess there was just 2 users of this binding, so no big deal.

But it took me some time to get to this point. I will try to clean it up and document all parts. Will take some time.

+1 for volumio binding.

Currently running moode on a spare Pi but would revert to Volumio if binding does not work on moode, although I have a feeling it will. I will try it and let you know,

I´ve just had a look at the moodeaudio… Just a question, is it fork of Volumio 2? The binding communicates with the websockets of volumio to establish an event based communication. The implementation is rather specific to volumio…

You can add me too … I assume your binding is working?

30

I guess it works with oh 2 final… But I will need to do some testing this weekend…

31

Ok just started to work on it… but it will take me a bit longer… need to update my repository to the latest release…

32

Removed the experimental stuff and need to fix some sporadic disconnects/timeouts… but it´s working.

You can install the current release like this…

  1. ssh into you openhab session
  2. From Karaf console run install https://github.com/patrickse/openhab2-addons/releases/download/SNAPSHOT/org.openhab.binding.volumio2-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
  3. The Console will show you a bundle id as response after the installation finished. (for example Bundle ID: 207) Use this bundle id and start the bundle. Run on the Karaf console start 207.
  4. Wait a few seconds and search for new things. It should list all your volumio devices in your network.
  5. Please give me feedback…

I can confirm it is working. Added the binding yesterday - Thanks for your work!

34

:)… Sounds good… please keep an eye on the thing state… it looks like it´s sometimes loosing the connection to volumio. I will need to do some more testing on this.

35

HI, I am using this binding to control to volumio2 players on RPI. when I try to connect to one of them, the other disconnects and shows “OFFLINE - COMMUNICATION_ERROR”. Any idea?

Regards,
Peter

@patrickse do you plan to submit a pull request to openhab2-addons repository? I’m sure there’s more people willing to test your binding :slight_smile:
Plus, there’s a chance someone else might join you and contribute to the codebase as well.
Cheers

I´ve been away for a few days… sorry for the late response

@petervk
I will have a look this weekend and try to check where it could break. I do not actually have more then one volumio client at the moment. So I will need to mock such an environment.

@kubawolanin
I really would like to push it to the main repository. But it´s not documented in a way that would satisfy the contribution rules at the moment. I am really short of time atm and I will try to push it further, but feel free to create pull-requests against my repo.

It looks like there´s a major problem in my binding. It actually looks like it´s mixing up the two devices. I´ve created 2 vm with vm and started oh2. So there´s really a problem. I will try to fix it in the next days…

39

Thanks,

Looking forward to it.
Besides that problem it is working nicely.
Thanks already for the nice solution

Hi patrickse,

this is something I´m really looking for.

Is your installation description from the 29.Jan still valid.

I will try it the next days,

Thank you for your work
