MMM-Sonos - To show what your SONOS is playing.

cohron

Guess I’m total noob but I havent figured out exactly how to install MMM-Sonos.

I’m confused on installing and running node-sonos-http-api part. Does it get installed on /usr/local/lib/node_modules (I dont have that folder) but I do have /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules.
MM is on rPI3b using the default installation from the readme but the the documentation on the api says i should install the latest nodejs. do i need to update/install? I went to https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest/ and it looks like 7.9.0 is the latest. i assume i install this on the MM rPI also. I’ll have to figure out how to git that too if so.
I have my mm.sh file that auto-starts MM using pm2. Do I add a line in the mm.sh file to auto run the api on boot?
my mm.sh
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

@cohron First you need to “install” the node-sonos-http-api. You can put the node-sonos-http-api on the RPi I think. I have not tried that. I have mine installed on another server. But just try it, do the following (obs I have not tried this):

cd ~
git clone git@github.com:jishi/node-sonos-http-api.git
cd node-sonos-http-api
npm install --production
npm start

Now, see if you can get your zones via the link: http://yourmagicmirrorip:5005/zones
If you do, you should be able to point your config to http://localhost
And you should see something playing, if it is playing. :)

Now you need to make sure the http-api is running all the time.
Use the same procedure as for the MagicMirror.
When you have the MagicMirror and http-api running type pm2 save (if you are using pm2).
Otherwise you have to add it to your startup manually.

I hope this helps a bit at least. :)

All right, love trial and error. Got it all up and running on my MM rPI!!!
Through ssh pi@192.168.0.207 (my MM ip address)

cd ~ //which puts me at /home/pi
pi@magicpi:~ $ git clone https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api.git

cd node-sonos-http-api
npm install --production
npm start

verify, open a browser, point to your MM’s IP like so:
http://192.168.0.207:5005/zones
you should see a page full of sonos related text, if so the hard part is done…

create another pm2 script named sonos.sh in ~ directory
cd ~
sonos.sh file contents:
cd ~/node-sonos-http-api
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

pm2 start sonos.sh
pm2 start mm
pm2 save

now just do the normal git for the sonos module
pi@magicpi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ git clone https://github.com/Snille/MMM-Sonos.git

fill in your config, this is mine:
{
module: ‘MMM-Sonos’,
header: “Playing on SONOS”,
position: “top_center”, // This can be any of the regions, best results in center regions
classes: “default everyone”,
config: {
// See ‘Configuration options’ for more information.
showStoppedRoom: false,
showAlbumArt: true
}
},

I also copied your awsome custom css content!

Great module! I am new to all of this and have the module working as intended. I listen to SiriusXM, Google Play and Spotify through Sonos.

Google Play looks great and pulls the Artist and Track Title correctly. However, SiriusXM is sending everything together. Is there a way to format what SiriusXM sends me?

For example, if I go to http://IP_Address:5005/zones when using Google Play, I see… {“currentTrack”:{“artist”:“Aretha Franklin”,“title”:“Respect”,“album”:“I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You”,“albumArtUri”

But if I put on a SiriusXM channel, it looks like this… {“currentTrack”:{“title”:“BR P|TYPE=SNG|TITLE Cold Little Heart|ARTIST Michael Kiwanuka|ALBUM”,“albumArtUri”

As a result, the SiriusXM channel shows nothing for the Artist and “BR P|TYPE=SNG|TITLE Cold Little Heart|ARTIST Michael Kiwanuka|ALBUM” for the Track. Would love to get it to show something like “Cold Little Heart, Michael Kiwanuka” instead.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi! Hm… Looks like the SiriusMX information is not coming out in JSON format correctly from the SonosAPI.
I think you may have to contact Jimmi about this. Open an issue here: https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api/issues and describe your problem. As soon as the “output” is in correct JSON format, it should be working. Usually hes quick in fixing things. :)

Good luck.

Hello,

@Desaydrone
I don’t have any Sonos devices. According to the read me, you can exclude zones, I guess that’s what you are after, right?

Just follow the download link in first post and scroll down to the bottom for options
