I am using the Get Contents of URL action to drive LMS's "Command Line
Interface" directly from the iPhone. There's no need to use SSH (which I
find to be a little bit flaky from Workflow). 

You can find one of the workflows that I use at
https://workflow.is/workflows/09e084c48ccb4b3f8a93ca641655b0a6 and
attached to this post. A few notes:
    
- The URL action near the top specifies the base URL that is used for
  all CLI requests. The hostname part of the URL will obviously need to
  be changed to point at your server.
- The Text action below that has a list of commands that ensure my
  three most commonly used players are all switched on, and that the
  volume is set to a default level on two of them (the other one is
  connected to an external amplifier via its digital output). There's a
  Repeat with Each loop that issues each command in sequence using the
  Get Contents of URL action.
- The List action provides the menu of things to play:
            
  - The ones starting with BBC are internet radio streams. The second
    Text provides a mapping from the radio station names to URLs. The
    third Text action constructs the CLI URL to start playing that
    stream.
  - The other menu items are names of Dynamic (SQL) Playlists. The
    fourth Text action constructs the CLI URL to start playing one of
    those.
        
  

Of course, we only have to wait until Wednesday next week (16th
September) for watchOS 2 which should allow for a native iPeng watch
app... ;)
