Support media_player.turn_on / turn_off (e.g. Power On / Off) services / controls.

[thlucas1]

Any chance of adding standard media_player.turn_on / turn_off support for non-Sonos players? The ability to turn on / off individual speakers (as well as a group of speakers at once) would be nice. I know I can add a separate panel of buttons with tap actions to do this, but it would make for a nicer appearance if the card supported it natively.

I'm currently testing this with my Bose SoundTouch devices (don't hate me Sonos fans), and it's going well. Just finding a few minor things like this. If you're interested in supporting non-Sonos gear I would be happy to be a beta tester for you. If not, I understand.

Can you share info about your devices? http://homeassistant.local/developer-tools/state

Also, I am working on https://github.com/punxaphil/maxi-media-player, a generic player that does not have a focus on Sonos players only. Feel free to try it out and help me improve it!

[thlucas1]

Thanks for the info Phil - I was not aware there was a generic player. Looks promising. I will look into it and touch base.

Here's more information on my GitHub SoundTouchPlus wiki page for my SoundTouch 10 and SoundTouch 300 devices. They are basically speakers with a built in web server that hosts the Bose SoundTouch Web Services API, which provides endpoints to control / configure the speaker and interface with various music services. I wrote the Bose SoundTouch API Python3 Library to interface with those web services from Python, which is what I use from my SoundTouchPlus integration to control the speaker(s).

I had already started looking into the Sonos Card, and have applied a couple of changes in development. I corrected the issue of the player not muting or setting a volume level when it is the only player specified. I was also in the process of adding power on / off button to the control deck area.

Thanks!

Try https://github.com/punxaphil/custom-sonos-card/releases/tag/v7.8.0
It will show right of the volume bar

Thanks Phil, much appreciated. I added it in the same place in my testing. Lol

I am playing with the maxi media player now - will probably use it since it does not have the Sonos stuff embedded. I have it on my dev environment now, and have made the following changes thus far: added the power button in the volume.ts module; added options to show / hide all player control buttons vie the editor (no more css mods), and fixed what I think is a bug in the player mute logic. Will send you a pull request for your consideration when I finish testing.

Thanks for your help, and your efforts with the card.

[punxaphil]

added the power button in the volume.ts module;

@punxaphil
sent you a pull request. It's been awhile since I created a pull request, so let me know if the format is to (or not) your liking.
Thanks - Todd

UPDATE 2024/04/09 09:45pm Central Time:
I just realized that we are still commenting in the custom-sonos-card discussion area. The pull request I sent is for the maxi-media-player repo. Sorry about that!

I also noticed that there is no discussion forum available on the maxi-media-player repo. I would like to start a new discussion on how favorites work in the maxi-media-player card. It seems like they only support the Sonos type of favorites, but I am not sure - I am not familiar with the Sonos favorites media browser format. I have some ideas on how to let the user specify what kind of favorites they want to pull from the device; just need to know what the BrowseMedia dictionarys that are returned from the current function look like. It appears it does a call to get the favorites root, then does repeated calls to get children items?

Please let me know when you get a chance. Thank you sir! And please let me know if it's too much of an ask, or if I get too annoying. I geek out on this type of stuff, and can get a little over-excited sometimes. 😄

[thlucas1]

Forgot to mention that I already had the power button changes finished when I started on the other items. They may conflict with what you added, but if I remember correctly they did the same thing.

Here's what I added, just to document it here:

• add editor settings to allow show / hide of player control buttons: repeat, shuffle, next track, previous track, and power.
• fixed an issue with media-control-service setVolumeMute and volumeDefaultStep to account for only 1 player; prior to this, it was ignoring the request (mute, volume up / down) if only one player was active.
• added power button to player-controls if current player state is off.
• when getting the speaker list, return the main player name if no pre-defined groups are defined.
