AudioClip notifications

[svrooij]

Sending an audio notification has been possible for years with this app. Since the latest beta you use the notifications using the native Audio Clip endpoint. This used to be cloud only, but someone discovered it to be no longer cloud only.

We are not ready to switch this for everybody, but you can try it out by starting Sonos2Mqtt with the SONOS2MQTT_EXPERIMENTAL environment variable set to true. This will switch the notify and the speak command to use the Audio Clip endpoint. You can also use the --experimental flag if you're still running this app from the command line.

Please provide your feedback below.

Hi,

first of all sorry for my late response. I just wanted to test the experimental version, but I'm not sure if it was correctly activated.
I sent :
sonos/RINCON_F0F6C189D33001400/control { "command": "SONOS2MQTT_EXPERIMENTAL", "input": "true" }

Result within the logfile:
"command": "SONOS2MQTT_EXPERIMENTAL", "input": "true" } to topic sonos/RINCON_F0F6C189D33001400/control (QoS 0, Retained: false) 2024-04-29 18:49:26,034 INFO --- MqttFX ClientModel : messageArrived() with topic: sonos/RINCON_F0F6C189D33001400/control 2024-04-29 18:49:26,036 INFO --- MqttFX ClientModel : messageArrived() added: message #5 to topic 'sonos/RINCON_F0F6C189D33001400/control'

According to your mail a message within the logfile should appear:
2024-02-07T08:05:35.298Z [Information] Experimental features activated, please provide feedback on notifications. #191

Was the activation sent correctly?

Are you running sonos2mqtt in docker? Then you’ll need to add that variable to the environment variables. Are you running it from the command line (I hope not) the. You should add the start argument —experimental

Hi,

I'm running it in docker, managed by Portainer. I added the variable, see screenshot:

Unfortunately I don't think that the function is activated, log looks like this:

Any idea what else I could try?

What is the version of the app you're running?

Should be any of the beta versions.
https://github.com/svrooij/sonos2mqtt/releases/tag/v3.2.0-beta.19

You should set the tag to it, so not using latest but this one.

FROM ghcr.io/svrooij/sonos2mqtt:beta or FROM ghcr.io/svrooij/sonos2mqtt:3.2.0-beta.19
