OK, you win! I have released v2.02 of SqueezeIR that allows ir to be sent when the player powers on or off or when the mode changes (play/pause/stop). The ir emitter of the controller appears to be quite powerful and will reach my amp in the opposite corner of my bedroom even when it's cradled and pointing at the ceiling. Your mileage may vary. I have also fixed a couple of bugs that you noticed to do with IR-o-IP URI's. 1xRadio, 2xReceiver, 2xController, 1xSB3, 1xSqueezeLite (on Rpi3/Jessie), SBS 7.9.2 (on Rpi3/Jessie) Creator of SqueezeIR applet for the Controller.

It might be what I'm looking for if a second, identical action would cancel out the first one if triggered before the delay ends. Also, it might help if there was a way to configure the duration of the delay. I have asked about the power cycle on the ShairTunes2 thread, but no answer, yet. maf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112231 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

One way to delay the power off would be to add a action to the event that you are triggering within the SqueezeIR config file. However, I don't think that's what you are looking for? I'm unfamiliar with ShairTunes2 and don't really understand why it would power cycle the receiver? 1xRadio, 2xReceiver, 2xController, 1xSB3, 2xSqueezeSlave, SBS 7.5.3 Inventor of SqueezeIR applet for the Controller indifference_engine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112231 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] SqueezeIR Trigger Plugin
Oh, one more thing I just discovered I would like to do and don't know how (due to lack of knowledge about Perl and LMS): I would like to delay powering off the amplifier by a couple of seconds. If I stream to the receiver with the great ShairTunes2 plugin, switching audio channels will result in turning off the receiver and turning it right on again. How can I wait to see if that's the case and only send the IR signal if really appropriate? maf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112231 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] SqueezeIR Trigger Plugin
Thanks to the SqueezeIR applet, one can use a Squeezebox Controller to send infrared commands to auxillary equipment . The attached SqueezeIR Trigger plugin is a SqueezeIR helper that allows one to send an IR signal once a specific Squeezebox player is turned on or off. I wrote it to power on an amplifier whenever the Squeezebox Receiver connected to it is turned on. And, even better, power off the amplifier when the Receiver is turned off. That, I used to forget quite offen... This is my first attempt at writing an LMS plugin. It is based on the PowerMonitor plugin. While the plugin works for me, it might not work for others. Please let me know about any problems you enncounter and suggestions for improvements you have. There are a couple of improvements I can think of already. I hope more experienced plugin writers could point out how to implement those or where something similar has been implemented already: - Provide a drop-down list of Squeezebox players on the settings page. I'm not sure how to properly filter out players that can't be controller by IR signals. - Provide a drop-down list of Squeezebox controllers on the settings page. I don't know whether there is a way to list those at all. - Validate all settings on input. How can I implement value checking in the settings page? - Support the configuration of an unrestricted number of notifications (player state changes) and potentially different players and controllers. How can I allow the user to specify as many sets of attributes as she/he likes, i.e. add fresh configuration sections and delete existing ones? For other users it might also be necessary to add the following functionality: - Differentiate between powering on and powering off Actually, I don't want to put too much efforrt into this because I still hope there might be a way to integrate the functionality into the SqueezeIR applet. On the other hand, there are many other notifications a plugin like this might react to, see the documentation of command line interface included in the server's help pages and the Slim::Control:Request module. And there are many other actions one might trigger other than sending IR signals.
