Just got an Amazon Echo, and wanted to post how I got it to control the squeezeboxen. It's a little hairy and requires a bit of a work around to get it to do specific commands (for instance, playing a specific station or genre requires you to program each genre individually), but it's worth while since I only listen to a few pandora stations. You can theoretically get it to do anything you'd like.
As a side note, a great way to intercept commands from logitech media server's web interface is using firebug to see what post/get details are sent when you submit a command. That's how I stole the pandora details. Step 1. Connect your amazon echo to IFTTT.com Step 2. Port Foward 9000 to your media server. Make sure it's password protected! Step 3. Add alexa commands to IFTTT, use alexa as the trigger, and Maker as the THAT channel. Note: You'll need the mac address of your players if you want to control them individually. Example: Alexa trigger squeezebox pause kitchen Maker url: http://username:password@youripaddress:9000/status.html?p0=pause&player=macaddress Example: Alexa trigger squeezebox ambient (this will play the ambient station on pandora, the values may differ per account) http://username:password@youripaddress:9000/anyurl?p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=pandora%3A%2F%2F2416111222297772466.mp3&p3=Ambient%20Radio&player=macaddress&_dc=1451159698107 There's a good list of GET variables you can send to your server here: http://tutoriels.domotique-store.fr/content/54/95/fr/api-logitech-squeezebox-server-_-player-http.html Hope this helps, if anybody has questions I'll try to answer them. 1 Touch 2 Receivers 1 Controller 1 Radio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FredFredrickson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104890 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
