HS/FS MusicPal als kleine Leute VISU

[TRex]

nachdem der Thread "Radiowecker" etwas unübersichtlich geworden ist und ich noch immer an einer "Visu für arme" interessiert bin hat mein EDV-Mufti Nils mit mir zusammen den Musicpal so gepimpt daß das Ding jetzt Statusmeldungen vom HS als RSS - Feed anzeigen kann.

Als Bordmittel sind ausschließlich der Musicpal und der HS notwendig, keine weitere Rechnerleistung erforderlich.

1.) Mpal so verbiegen, daß er selbst einen eine RSS-Feed aus einer Statusmeldung kreiert.
Hierzu sind 2 Skripte notwenig:

Skript: /var/www/cgi-bin/hs-input.cgi

[SIZE=2]#!/bin/sh
# Nimmt beim Aufruf einen TextString an, legt diesen in einer Datei fuer den RS
param=`echo "$1|" | sed 's/&/|/g' | sed 's/%26/\&/g' | sed 's/\+/ /g'`
grundstatus=`echo "$param" | sed 's/.*grundstatus=\([0-9a-zA-Z_ ]*\).*|.*/\1/g'
status1=`echo "$param" | sed 's/.*status1=\([0-9a-zA-Z_ ]*\).*|.*/\1/g'`
status2=`echo "$param" | sed 's/.*status2=\([0-9a-zA-Z_ ]*\).*|.*/\1/g'`
status3=`echo "$param" | sed 's/.*status3=\([0-9a-zA-Z_ ]*\).*|.*/\1/g'`
# Daten in RSS Feed einbauen
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" > /tmp/rss
echo "<rss version=\"2.0\">" >> /tmp/rss
echo " <channel>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " <title>$grundstatus</title>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " <item>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " <title>$status1</title>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " </item>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " <item>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " <title>$status2</title>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " </item>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " <item>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " <title>$status3</title>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " </item>" >> /tmp/rss
echo " </channel>" >> /tmp/rss
echo "</rss>" >> /tmp/rss
wget "http://admin:admin@192.168.130.15/admin/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?f=show_clock&n=../show_clock"
[/SIZE]

skript: /var/www/cgi-bin/rss-output.cgi

[SIZE=2]#!/bin/sh
cat /tmp/rss
[/SIZE]

dann beide ausführbar machen.

Im Musicpal den RSS FEed folgendermassen einstellen:
http://<IP-Musicpal>/cgi-bin/rss-output.cgi

Mit dem HS folgendes Telegramm kreieren:

http://<IP_Musicpal>/cgi-bin/hs-input.cgi?grundstatus=Meldungen+des
+Hauses&status1=TEXT&status2=TEXT&status3=TEXT

Damit sendet der HS seinen STatus, der Musicpal baut einen eigenen RSS Feed mit den Infos und zeigt diesen an.

->-> MERCI an NILS!!

für diejenigen die sich das script erstellen wollen hier noch erganzend zu Peters Post, noch der Link zur Anleitung wie man sich auf dem Musicpal eine Datei erzeugen kann
https://knx-user-forum.de/30199-post27.html


P.S. Peter, wie war das mit Deinen Linux Kenntnissen? ;-)

[TRex]

ich habe nach wie vor nur rudimentäre Linux-kenntnisse, die Idee und der "Plan" ist von mir, denn ich wollte die Texteinblendungen nur in der untersten Zeile, wo normalerweise der RSS Feed läuft. Die Uhrzeit und das Datum sollten wie bereits beschrieben bestehen bleiben.

Die Programmierung hat mir mein EDV-Leiter erledigt.

Ich plane, die Meldungen nach "Wichtigkeit" einzublenden. Z.B. Störungen und Alarme im eigenen Popup-Window, das bestätigt werden muss, Statusmeldungen und Temperautren als RSS - Feed einzublenden.
Parallel dazu werden dann noch die Helligkeit in Abhängigkeit der Aussenhelligkeit modifiziert und, wenn eine neue Meldung ansteht, dann wird die Helligkeit auf max gedreht.

Zuletzt dann wird noch ein entsprechender Ton eingespielt, z.B. bei Alarmen BlockBuster von Sweet oder "Fire" von "The crazy world of Arthur Brown" usw...

Als weiteres Projekt will ich die HS-Visuseite dann noch für den HS-Browser optimieren, dann kann ich vom Musicpal alles notwendige steuern.

Da macht dann das aufstehen wieder spass!

Hi,

Digging out old stuff.
You guys seem to have done wonders with the MusicPal
I would like to simply remote control the device, that is i.e. change a radio station. Is it possible ?
I first took the classical approach and asked TechSup France
"can I remotely change a radio station".
The answer was

Le musicpal est compatible avec les normes upnp ainsi que dlna

Ha! This brings me to the utmost happyness but gives no clue to my request.

So, if everything else fails, ask knx-user-forum

PS: the idea is to have a kind of multi-room, with a MusicPal in each room, sounds crazy ?

[mredeker]

Musicpal as multiroom source

I use my Musicpal as one source for my Russound multiroom system.
The Musicpal is controlled by PlugPlayer (iPhone app) and streams the music from my Linux server running Twonkey using UPnP.
Currently I am working on creating an interface for OpenRemote.

My goal is to have at least two or three Musicpals as sources for my multiroom system.
And I want to put the hardware of all Musicpal's into one 19" casing

[Warichet]

Hi Markus,

Thank you for the quick reply

The Musicpal is controlled by PlugPlayer (iPhone app) and streams the music from my Linux server running Twonkey using UPnP.

I understand that you focus on the streaming feature of the MusicPal.
Any idea if the radio station can be controlled ?

Any pointer to a detailed technical document ? as TechSup seems to be of no help.

Currently I am working on creating an interface for OpenRemote.

OpenRemote ?!? yet another remote control ?
I'd love to integrate these functions in the HS and make them available in the Visu.

Thanks again

[makki]

@Raymond: Good news is: the Musicpal ist controllable by UPnP/DLNA with any standard* device, bad news: there is AFAIK no real mentionable implementation for UPnP (control-point) on the HS
These guys obviously prefer to "help us" implementing rather proprietary stuff like controlling a single Loewe-TV etc..

Makki

*standard means for me: public and open for anyone, like UPnP/DLNA but unfortunately it's not (yet?) adopted in the context of HA..

[Warichet]

Hi Makki,

Nice to hear from you again.

the Musicpal ist controllable by UPnP/DLNA with any standard* device

Sorry to disclose my ignorance , but I don't know what UPnP/DLNA can do for me in the context of the MusicPal.

Many posts speak about the streaming feature, maybe it makes sense in that context ?

there is AFAIK no real mentionable implementation for UPnP (control-point) on the HS

Oh well, I don't mind, if our "friends" have some spare time , they could implement the routing facility
But, I wasn't really thinking about a UPnP stuff on the HS, I was rather hoping for some hints as to how send IP/UDP packets to the MusicPal. If that was possible, I would be happy.

These guys obviously prefer to "help us" implementing rather proprietary stuff like controlling a single Loewe-TV

I get your point.... but the Loewe works, and I'm nowhere close to a solution with my MusicPal.
My last request for a detailes doc, yielded this answer

Non il est impossible de piloter le musicpal a distance

loosely translated as "no, it's not possible to remote control the MusicPal"
NB: it took 3 mails to get this simple answer
NB: I've a very limited confidence in this statement, as he didn't bother to mention "other" alternatives. I've read about telnet which could be enabled via a menu option.
I think I'll end up nowhere unless I get a detailed manual or get in touch with a real TechSup (instead of this "gap filler")

Anyone managed to get in contact with MusicPal Germany ?

PS: I just got the "technical doc" which is a 2 page flyer with the same info as printed on the MusicPal box.

[Taxus]

... I was rather hoping for some hints as to how send IP/UDP packets to the MusicPal. If that was possible, I would be happy.

Hi Raymond,
be happy! The 'Radiowecker'-Thread gives you all the information you need to 'mod' your MusicPal (read the whole thread, there was a change in the commands with a new firmware) for use with the HS.
I run my MusicPal e.g. as 'remote door bell', triggered by the HS, of course . Change a radio station? Save them as favorites and call them.

[mredeker]

Any idea if the radio station can be controlled?

You can put the radio stations in the favorites list. You can select the different favorites through the web-interface. There is some info about that in the musicpal forums.

OpenRemote ?!? yet another remote control ?
I'd love to integrate these functions in the HS and make them available in the Visu.

OpenRemote is a open source project which tries to integrate all kinds of HA hardware. The final goal will be to have a system that can talk any HA hardware
no matter which protocol (KNX, X10, UPnP, RS232, Ethernet, ir, ...), includes a rule engine, timer based events and visualization for different platforms (iPhone, Android, Web, Flash)

[Warichet]

@Taxus

The 'Radiowecker'-Thread gives you all the information you need

OK, thank you

read the whole thread

Ouch, some reading for the long winter evening

I run my MusicPal e.g. as 'remote door bell'

Hey ! clever trick ! I'd love to do the same, I might come back to you (if you don't mind)
@mredeker

You can put the radio stations in the favorites list. You can select the different favorites through the web-interface.

Mmhm, TechSup says it's not possible, and you managed to do it
First conclusion, one of you is wrong

There is some info about that in the musicpal forums.

There is even a forum !?! Great news

Thank you both for your kind reply

[mredeker]

There is even a forum !?! Great news

You can find the forum here: Freecom Supportforum - Index page
I mostly read within the "german/musicpal" section, so I don't know how well Musicpal is talked about within the other languages.

[mredeker]

Mmhm, TechSup says it's not possible, and you managed to do it
First conclusion, one of you is wrong

I use firmware 1.65 and all you have todo is push the navigate button when the radio station is playing. A menu will show up where you can select "Add favorite"

[Warichet]

Yes, no problem !
My question was: how can I do it remotely ?
But I'll first follow Taxus's recommendation and read the 'Radiowecker'-Thread.

I have written a php class to control the MusicPAL. Maybe you find it useful. Feel free to use or modify it.

You have to intantiate the class as follows:

$mp_config = array(
 "ip" => "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
 "user" => "musicpal_user",
 "password" => "musicpal_password");
 
$mp = new musicpal($mp_config); 

Then you can control the musicpal, e.g.

$mp -> volume(10); // set volume to 10
