SoundCloud Binding – Looking for Testers & Feature Ideas (openHAB 5.0+)
Text:
Hi everyone,
I have developed a new SoundCloud Binding for openHAB and am looking for beta testers! The binding is already running very stably in my environment, but I would love to get your feedback and especially your suggestions for new features and options! ![]()
Current Features:
- Player Control: Full basic control (Play, Pause, Skip)
- Volume: Dedicated volume adjustment channel
- Search Function: Search for tracks, artists, or playlists directly within openHAB
- Cover Art: Display of the current track’s album/track artwork
Requirements for Testing:
- openHAB version 5.0 / 5.1 or higher
- A SoundCloud account
- A SoundCloud API Key / Developer Account (You can create one here: https://soundcloud.com/you/apps/new)
How to get started:
You can download the .jar file and check out the documentation/source code directly on my GitHub repository:
GitHub - pierrecinema/openhab-soundcloud-binding: openHAB Binding für SoundCloud – Suche, Track-Auswahl, Cover-Art und Chromecast-Streaming direkt aus der openHAB MainUI · GitHub
Please drop the .jar into your addons folder and let me know how it works for you. I am highly interested in your ideas for new channels or options to make this binding even better! Feel free to post your logs, experiences, and feature requests right here in this thread or open an issue on GitHub.
Thanks for your support, and happy testing!
Best regards,
Pierrecinema
