Pulseaudio Binding
Documentation of the Pulseaudio binding Bundle
For installation of the binding, please see Wiki page Bindings.
You need a running pulseaudio server whith module module-cli-protocol-tcp loaded and accessible by the server which runs your openHAB instance.
In order to bind an item to a Pulseaudio server, you need to provide configuration settings. The easiest way to do so is to add some binding information in your item file (in the folder configurations/items`). The syntax for the Pulseaudio binding configuration string is explained here:
pulseaudio="<ServerName>:<PulseaudioItemName>:<command>"
Where:
<ServerName>
is the name of the pulseaudio server as it is defined in your config.
<PulseaudioItemName>
is the name of a pulseaudio sink or source as it is defined on the related server (you can find out the names with the pactl command).
<command>
[optional] is one of:
- EXISTS: queries if the item exists on the pulseaudio server or not
- MUTED: queries if the item is muted or not
- SLAVE_SINKS: queries the names of the members of a combined sink (must be bound to a string item)
Here are some examples of valid binding configuration strings:
pulseaudio="Main:combined-music"
pulseaudio="Main:combined-music:SLAVE_SINKS"
pulseaudio="Main:combined-music:EXISTS"
pulseaudio="Main:combined-music:MUTED"
As a result, your lines in the items file might look like the following:
Dimmer Sink_FF_Multiroom_Volume { pulseaudio="Main:combined-music" }
String Sink_FF_Multiroom_Slaves { pulseaudio="Main:combined-music:SLAVE_SINKS" }
Switch Sink_FF_Multiroom_Exists { pulseaudio="Main:combined-music:EXISTS" }
Switch Sink_FF_Multiroom_Muted { pulseaudio="Main:combined-music:MUTED" }
In order to find out the names of your pulseaudio sinks you can use the pactl command line tool on the server, which is running your pulseaudio instance
pactl list sinks short
which returns something like this
9 combined-music module-combine-sink.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz RUNNING
where combined.music is the name of the sink
The Pulseaudio Binding can be used to e.g. to mute a sink or to change the volume of one
Switch Sink_FF_Multiroom_Muted { pulseaudio="Main:combined-music:MUTED" }
rule "mute pulseaudio sink on incoming call"
when
Item Incoming_Call received update
then
if (Incoming_Call.state==ON) {
Sink_FF_Multiroom_Muted.sendCommand(ON)
} else {
Sink_FF_Multiroom_Muted.sendCommand(OFF)
}
end
