The goals is to provide a bridge that converts received IR commands as keyboard events (provided by FLIRC USB device) into transport commands (e.g 'play', 'pause') that are send to the Roon API.
-
support Roon transport commands
- play, stop, play_pause, pause
- skip, previous
-
allows to initate the volume when amplifier with rest API exists
- currently only Yamaha API version 1 is supported
- development language will be Python
- documentation language will be English
- Python: roon-api, evdev
- FLIRC USB device
- Roon zone name can be configured as Ansible host specific variable
- service name, user and group can be configured in host specific variables
- mapping between key codes and transport command can be configured
in
config/app_info.json
Before being able to deploy the software the following steps have to be performed.
-
change the hostname in
inventory.yml -
add a new file that uses the same hostname as added above
-
change the variables accordingly
-
create a profile in
~/.ssh/configthat matches the hostname above -
copy your public SSH key to the deployment target
-
install the following requirements onto the target machine
- python3, python3-pip, python3-apt
- pip: setuptools
- git
cd deployment/
# check the setup
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml site.yml -C
