Overview
This is an CLI tool that can handle timed standup playback on a sonos device. It allows you to add links to audio files that will be randomly selected when you run standup. It maintains state to ensure every track in the rotation is played before another track is played again. It also will set the state of the sonos playback back to what it was before standup. Each of the above is handled by running various commands.
Configuration
config.yaml.sample contains the configuration template.
- SonosIP is the ip address/hostname of the sonos device. It does not have to be on the local network as we aren't using zeroconf/bonjour to find it.
- StatePath is where to store the current state of standup playback and the state of playback to restore
- Volume is what to set the volume to (out of 100) when playing standup - often you want it louder than normal music playback
Commands
You can run with the argument --help to get info about the commands.
