Trying to call Sonos action from within a script

Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I am trying to call the action "SonosFavorites" from within a script of a different plugin I am writing. I can see that within the Sonos plugin, the call is made to:

Code: Select all

   def actionZP_SonosFavorites(self, pluginAction):
      return self.Sonos.actionDirect(pluginAction, "ZP_SonosFavorites")


So I am trying from my script:

Code: Select all

                  c=PA({'mode':"",'setting':setting})
                  sonosPlugin.executeAction("actionDirect", props={'pluginAction':c, 'action':"ZP_SiriusXM"})


I defined the class PA as the Sonos plugin did:

Code: Select all

class PA():
   def __init__(self, deviceId=None, props=None):
      self.deviceId = deviceId
      self.props = props


My script "sonosPlugin.executeAction " generates the error message:
TypeError: No registered converter was able to produce a C++ rvalue of type CCString from this Python object of type instance

I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

The script within the plugin runs without problem

Code: Select all

self.actionDirect (PA(dev.id, {"setting":setting}), "ZP_SiriusXM")

I believe my statement should be equivalent?

I got it figured out:

Code: Select all

         sonosPlugin = indigo.server.getPlugin("com.ssi.indigoplugin.Sonos")
         sonosProps = { 'mode':'Play Now','setting':'initial',            }
         sonosProps["setting"]=sonosDev.pluginProps["setting"+str(station)]
         sonosPlugin.executeAction("actionZP_SonosFavorites", deviceId=int(sonosDev.pluginProps["sonosID"]), props=sonosProps)


Needed to separate executeAction entries for deviceid and props, and then be are the props included all the properties the action addressed.

Another question...

The Sonos plugin creates as array of favorite stations using the below, where Sonos_Favorites is a global array within the plugin which contains various information on the stations on the Sonos device's favorites list.

Code: Select all

   def getZP_SonosFavorites(self, filter=""):
      array=[]
      for title in Sonos_Favorites:
         array.append((title[4], title[1]))
#         indigo.server.log(title[1]+";"+title[0]+";"+title[4])
      return array


I can select a favorite from this list for my own device using the devices.xml:

Code: Select all

         <Field id="setting1" type="menu">
            <Label>Sonos Favorite:</Label>
            <List class="com.ssi.indigoplugin.Sonos" method="getZP_SonosFavorites" dynamicReload="yes"/>
         </Field>


The list that gets displayed is title[1] from above, and the selection I make is title[4] (eg setting1 is set to a title[4] value). But I want to get the title[1] value as well (which is the station name, so I can display it on a keypad etc ). I am not sure ho to modify the list, but I thought I could find the corresponding value in the Sonos_Favorites array. But my plugin does not have this array.

I could call getZP_SonosFavorites from within my plugin, but I don't know how to do it. xyz= getZP_SonosFavorites() returns an error because getZP_SonosFavorites is in the Sonos plugin and not mine. But I cannot use sonosPlugin.executeAction("ZP_SonosFavorites") because ZP_SonosFavorites is not an action with a callback.

What am I missing, anyone?
