drumfreak / homebridge-bluetooth-soundbutton Goto Github PK

I have my Homebridge setup and my Raspberry Pi connected to an Amazon Echo Dot. But when I press the button to turn on a sound, it does not play at all. I know my Pi is connected because I can use terminal to play a sound file using mpg321.

{
"platform": "SoundButton",
"name": "SoundButton",
"debugging": true,
"defaultSoundPlayer": "/usr/bin/omxplayer.bin",
"enableAlsaOutput": true,
"accessories": [
{
"accessory": "SoundButton",
"id": "000000000001",
"name": "Jazz",
"soundFile": "/home/pi/Music/test.mp3",
"soundOptions": [
"-o",
"alsa:default"
],
"repeat": 0,
"loop": false,
"volume": 60,
"debugging": true,
"soundEnabled": true
}
]
}
],

Was wondering if you could help. Thanks.

I love the idea of this plugin, but I've got Homebridge running on a Mac. I can get the switch to appear in my Home app, but whenever I try to activate it I get the following error relating to not finding the OMXplayer. I know that's specific to Pi's...any way to get the sound to play via Mac you think?

Hey. Sorry to bother you, there is one question about the homebridge-bluetooth-soundbutton plugin. I honestly didn’t understand a little, because I don’t speak English well, but can I do the following with this plugin: create a series of buttons in the homekit that will include certain bluetooth speakers with a certain audio recording. For example: There is a “Kitchen” button in the homekit, I press it or turn it on using SIRI, and the bluetooth speaker is turned on, which is located in the kitchen and “Kitchen” sounds from it. And so with every room, doors and basic items. I think there will not be many bluetooth speakers, about 10-15. This is necessary for a loved one, lost sight and it is necessary to navigate and adapt to current realities, and for this to happen faster they were advised to put speakers so that the orientation was on them. I just didn’t find any more ready-made solutions and came across your plugin, from the description I realized that theoretically this is possible. Thank!!!

I'm playing around with your plugin and using a RPi3B+ headphone jack as my test output. Is there a particular config option to play the file out on my RPi? Thanks
