Logitech Squeezebox support
Hi,
Is Logitech Squeezebox supported? I'm planning to place several self-build mediaplayers in my house. These will be equiped with Raspberry Pi, TFT screen and Audio Amp. Software is Max2play (squeezelite and jivelite).
I'd like to have support from Homey so you can start play/ pause music using motion sensors etc.
Thanks.

We have to keep in mind that athom is mostly doing apps from big manufactures and products that will allow a mayority of people using it, small apps like this should be made by the community. As long as squeezebox has an open api it should not be a problem for someone to pick this up.
I don't have a Squeezebox, but it shouldn't be so hard. There are already some tools around that can control the Squeezebox, for example one in PHP: http://org.0r9.org/labs/SqueezePHPAPI/
Last night I found a PHP script which controls the Onkyo receivers that have network abilities. Within 2 hours I built it in in my personal 'domotica dashboard', which now controls Hue / Nest (partly) / LG Hombot (http://www.domotica.center/robotstofzuiger-lg-hombot-vparquet/) / Onkyo.![:) :)](https://forum.athom.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
If nobody else builds Onkyo support for Homey I am going to create that app
What script did you use for the Onkyo? I've been looking around also, but I'd need something which has a webinterface (I don't have any real programming skills)
Hope it does, my house full of squeezeboxes
personally a bit too steep, Javascript? easy
I have 6 players running, so testing is no problem
I would really like to have Homey support Squeezebox, so I digged into this. I can do some javascript and node.js but Iam no programmer of any kind.
I discovered that there already is a Node.js api for squeezebox: https://github.com/piotrraczynski/squeezenode
But I don't see how I can reuse this node.js code in my own Squeezebox driver.
Can anyone help me to get me on the right track here?

Like to have that app! I have a Squeezebox Radio here.
I've created a dedicated thread in the apps forum to track development etc.

Thanks, i just downloaded the repository and uploaded it to the Homey. First i got an error, but that was because of a missing http:// in front of the server address. Now, it seems to be working ok, all my Squeezeboxes where recognised. As soon as the app is released i will do further testing.
Thanks again for you great work.
