Okay I have this working using the -rest_command- function of Home
Assistant actions, but I must note that it's kind of a shame that
there's a 'native Home Assistant LMS integration'
(https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/squeezebox) that has a
-squeezebox.call_method- but it can't meaninfully target the correct
player! It uses Home Assistant's entity.id instead of LMS's player ID's
and it isn't doing a good job of translating between the two or
explaining in the stack trace how it intends to do that.
My first attempt at a blueprint was this:
Code:
--------------------
alias: Squeezebox ScreenSaver
description: >-
Vacuum Fluorescent Displays naturally degrade over time! To prevent the
Squeezebox 1/2 & Boom from having their displays damaged this script will set
their powerOff display (by default the clock) brightness to 0 when no one is
in the room with the unit AND the unit is not playing audio or idling (If the
unit is playing audio the screen will be on regardless). When presence is
detected, the player's PowerOff State will switch it's brightness to 6
(Automatic)
trigger:
- type: motion
platform: device
device_id: 441923B232F232
entity_id: binary_sensor.ezm_home_security_motion_detection_location_provided
domain: binary_sensor
condition: []
action:
- service: squeezebox.call_method
data:
command: playerpref
parameters: powerOffBrightness 6
target:
entity_id: media_player.squeezebox_boom
mode: single
--------------------
When run it does not produce the intended result at all and I only get
this unhelpful line in the LMS logs:
Code:
--------------------
[22-04-06 11:23:27.8243] Slim::Web::JSONRPC::requestMethod (455) Request
failed with error: Bad params!
--------------------
So for anyone trying to achieve a similar goal, the only way I've
figured out how to do this is to add two -rest_requests- to Home
Assistant's -configuration.yaml-
Code:
--------------------
# Logitech Squeezbox hardcoded automations via REST JSON-RPC API
rest_command:
boom_idle:
url: "http://192.168.2.127:9000/jsonrpc.js";
payload: '{"id": 0,"params":
["00:04:20:1f:40:88",["playerpref","powerOffBrightness",0]],"method":
"slim.request"}'
method: post
boom_active:
url: "http://192.168.2.127:9000/jsonrpc.js";
payload: '{"id": 0,"params":
["00:04:20:1f:40:88",["playerpref","powerOffBrightness",6]],"method":
"slim.request"}'
method: post
--------------------
This will allow you to call those rest_commands as home assistant
services!
