Indigo Domotics

I have a plugin that run my Grand Concerto and I am trying to get the python code to communicate with the Sonos plugin. I can look at values within Sonos, but I am having trouble getting Sonos to perform actions. I tried two ways - the first fails, the second works but relies on an Action Group I wrote to perform:

Code: Select all

sqzPlugin = indigo.server.getPlugin("com.ssi.indigoplugin.Sonos")
sqzPlugin.executeAction("TogglePlay", deviceId="42384538")

and

Code: Select all

indigo.actionGroup.execute(1445798824)

42384538 is the ID of the Sonos device. 1445798824 is the ID of a Sonos Action Group that does Toggle Play. The action group works fine from the Indigo main interface, just not from within the Python script.

Error generated by first approach:

NuVo Grand Concerto Error Error in plugin execution runConcurrentThread:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "plugin.py", line 226, in runConcurrentThread

executeAction(CPlugin {lvalue}, CCString actionTypeId, unsigned long deviceId=0, boost::python::api::object props=None, bool waitUntilDone=True)

NuVo Grand Concerto Error plugin runConcurrentThread function returned or failed (will attempt again in 10 seconds)

Any thoughts?

Try this:

Code: Select all

sqzPlugin = indigo.server.getPlugin("com.ssi.indigoplugin.Sonos")
if sqzPlugin.isEnabled():
    sqzPlugin.executeAction("actionTogglePlay", deviceId="42384538")


Unless documented elsewhere by the plugin developer, you need to look at the Actions.xml file inside the plugin to determine the name of the action you're trying to invoke.

I needed to remove the quotes from the device id, then it worked. Thanks.
