@ -75,7 +75,44 @@ This service can be used to integrate any Squeezebox action to an automation.
It can also be used to target a Squeezebox from IFTTT (or Dialogflow, Alexa...).
For example, to play an album from your collection, create an IFTTT applet like this:
- Trigger: Google assistant, with sentence: `I want to listen to album $`
- Action: JSON post query with such JSON body:
`{ "entity_id": "media_player.squeezebox_radio", "command": "playlist", "parameters": ["loadtracks", "album.titlesearch={{TextField}}"] }`
This can work with title search and basically any thing. The same wouldn't have worked by calling directly Squeezebox server as IFTTT cannot escape the text field.
### Service `call_query`
Call a custom Squeezebox JSON-RPC API. The result of the query will be stored in the 'query_result' attribute of the player.
See documentation for this interface on `http://HOST:PORT/html/docs/cli-api.html?player=` where HOST and PORT are the host name and port for your Logitech Media Server.
| Service data attribute | Optional | Description |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `entity_id` | no | Name(s) of the Squeezebox entities where to run the API method.
| `command` | no | Command to pass to Logitech Media Server (p0 in the CLI documentation).
| `parameters` | yes | Array of additional parameters to pass to Logitech Media Server (p1, ..., pN in the CLI documentation).
This service can be used to integrate a Squeezebox query into an automation. For example, in a Python script, you can get a list of albums available by an artist like this:
`hass.services.call("squeezebox", "call_query", { "entity_id": "media_player.kitchen", "command": "albums", "parameters": ["0", "20", "search:beatles", "tags:al"] })`
To work with the results:
`result = hass.states.get("media_player.kitchen").attributes['query_result']`
### Service `sync`
Add another player to this player's sync group. If the other player is already in a sync group, it will leave it.
| Service data attribute | Optional | Description |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `entity_id` | no | Name(s) of the Squeezebox entities where to run the API method.
| `other_player` | no | Name of the other Squeezebox player to join the sync group.
### Service `unsync`
Remove this player from its sync group.
| Service data attribute | Optional | Description |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `entity_id` | no | Name(s) of the Squeezebox entities where to run the API method.
