Play a sound when door sensor is tripped

Other Devices & Integrations Door Locks & Sensors
#1

I’m looking to play a sound through my sonos speakers when my ecolink door/window sensors are tripped. Any help will be appreciated. I’d even be willing to learn how to turn a light on when it’s tripped. All I can figure out now is to send me a notification when it’s tripped. I’m looking for a little more control from it.

Am I missing something obvious?

There’s a simple way to have Sonos announce an event. Just create a scene with a trigger from your door sensor. Don’t set any actions using the scene GUI but add this code on the LUUP tab:

local dID = 123 -- Device ID of Sonos local sayText = "Door opened." -- Required announcement luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:Sonos1","Say",{Text=sayText, Language="en", Volume=50},dID)

You could use a similar process to play a sound using the Alert action. I have not tried this but the template for the action is:

luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:Sonos1","Alert",{URI= ,Volume= ,SameVolumeForAll= ,Duration= ,GroupDevices= ,GroupZones= },dID)

Thank you! I will try this out this afternoon! question about the code…

Option 1. Line 3. - Where it says “serviceId:Sonos1” is that telling it the model of speaker? I have a playbar, and play 3. So would I put “serviceId:Sonos3”?

Option 2. Do I need lines 1 + 2 from above in place along with the line provided?

I would like to try both and see how they work.

The service ID urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:Sonos1 covers all types of Sonos units. Do not change it.

Lines 1 & 2 define variables that are used in line 3. You need all three lines - unless you hard-code the device ID and announcement text as in:

luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:Sonos1","Say",{Text="Door opened.", Language="en", Volume=50},123)
