For those who may be interested, I have opened a github project here:
https://github.com/ynot123/LMS_Controls that contains the code required
to voice enable much of your LMS installation.
The configuration allows voice control for your Logitech Media Server
from Google Home or Google Assistant (on your iPhone / Android device)
with Home Assistant (HA) acting as the middle man. The following
functions are supported:
- Perform queries for songs, albums, artists and playlists from the
LMS server or from the music source Spotify (compound queries are
supported)
- Play queried items
- Add to current playlist
- Set music source (local LMS database or Spotify (using spotty)
- Set volume
- Set sleep timer
- Set shuffle on / off
- Set repeat on / off
- Next track
- Pause and re-start players
A Home Assistant web GUI front-end for the query tool is also included.
Using HA you can further enhance the LMS tools to create home automation
scenes (ie: play your favorite radio station when you get home, turn
down the lights when listening to music, etc..).
Warning, there is some configuration required to make this work. the
prerequisites are:
- Logitech Media Server
- Home Assistant - open source home automation package
- Google Home (or google assistant)
- Developer account for Dialogflow for the voice activation part
- Spotify account with Client_ID and Client_Secret to allow query
processing
If interested give it a go. I've been using it for sometime now and
find it "cute" and convenient for simple listening and I especially
enjoy the sleep timer feature.
