Now that I think of it... When I originally tested this, I was trying to power the switch with "on" as a state. Which doesn't exist. Which is why I thought it didn't work... Turning power on during idle or playing state, and off during unavailable and off state. Should work.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite/piCorePlayer power to Tasmota/MQTT/HA
Would need more experimentation but it is on state change. So I would not expect anything to change when skipping since the player state remains as "playing".

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite/piCorePlayer power to Tasmota/MQTT/HA
Home assistant has a squeezebox integration and already could display the status of the various players, or serve as a basic remote for them. It just couldn't trigger an action on state change (unless I missed how this can be achieved) So, node-red poll on the status as seen in home assistant and use that as a trigger for controlling the power state of the plug that's used for the amp. If you have multiple smart things, you may want to look into home assistant to control all of them under a common ecosystem that includes squeezebox.

LMS has AnyEvent at it's heart although the version is a bit old. For simplicity, the RemoteControl plugin uses AnyEvent to send a http message and didn't use a LMS http routine There is an AnyEvent::MQTT module but not sure if it requires an newer AnyEvent than LMS version.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite/piCorePlayer power to Tasmota/MQTT/HA
The only protocol I've got to work on the LMS side that actively sends out messages on player power state (rather than requiring polling) is the, now ancient, xPL plugin. I still use this, but run a small python 2.7 bridge app that converts the xPL power states to MQTT. I've always thought it would be a useful exercise to take the xPL plugin and refactor it to use MQTT, so creating a native LMS MQTT plugin. Unfortunately I've never felt confident enough with Perl to start. The python app is MQTT-xPL-bridge from Steve Rodger's github repository hwstar. This has worked reliably for me for some years now, except that power off state is not sent when a player powers off automatically following the expiry of an alarm-clock event. I'll accept that this route is both convoluted and niche, but if you do want to try it feel free to ping me for assistance - I still have some notes somewhere on the basic install process.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite/piCorePlayer power to Tasmota/MQTT/HA
I am trying to control a smart power outlet so that a squeezeplayer state controls it. The idea is to power the amp when the player is in use, but not otherwise. I thought it would be easy but can't seem to find how... I have Home Assistant and LMS integration. I can tell a player to turn on or off from HA. But what I need is for HA to do an action when the player goes on or off, and it doesn't seem to have this option. My power outlet runs Tasmota. Therefore, I can change its power state with MQTT or directly by http like so http://192.168.x.x/cm?cmnd=Power%20Off The plug is also using MQTT trough a browser, but I don't think the player will be MQTT compatible. I thought about just running a script from the player on state change, but what's available on piCorePlayer is a script execution trigerred by gpio... Which won't do the same. Anyone knows of a working path? Am I not seeing something that would make this work? Any ideas of what next to try? Thanks a lot.
