Automatically start players when arriving home using Android-phone and on{X}

[jishi]

I'm planning on adding a delay for the play attempt as well, since I sometimes comes in range of the WiFi but not enough to actually successfully trigger the players.

I'm also gonna add a "cancel" action on the notification, so that it it easy to revert the trigger if it was a bad timing to start them.

Hey

I would like some help with this.

I´m trying to implement this script with tasker on my Samsung Galaxy Xcover, but with no success.

Nothing happens when I press the "test"-button in Tasker.

---TASKER---
Profile: Sonos Auto
State: WiFi Home-network Connected
Task: Run Script

Kind regard

The problem that you might run into with Tasker, is that you need to be able to send custom HTTP headers to replicate the SOAP call. Also, the POST body can not be the regular type (key1=value&key2=value) but instead a crafted XML body.

I don't have any real knowledge about Tasker, but if the builtin http-methods doesn't cut it, you can probably write a plugin for it.

Another route would be to run some sort of server-software on a device on your network. One suggestion is something that can run node.js since I built a simple http-api around it (but basically it can be written in any language):

My node.js version would run fine on a raspberry pi (I've tested it myself) for example.

But should not the script you wrote run because tasker supports javascripts!?

Although it is javascript, Tasker doesn't inplement the same API that on{x} does.

Okey,
So Im stuck then...

Btw, I would gladly pay for an app that can work with Tasker and play a specific file or radio on Sonos.

Is this something you jishi can do without breaking a sweat?
