SoundTouchPhp
~ Bringing the Bose SoundTouch API to PHP, (*1)
SoundTouchPhp is a PHP Library that allows you to interact with Bose SoundTouch speakers.
It allows you to integrate control into your own PHP applications., (*2)
- Build your own control panel
- Script / Automate tasks using PHP CLI
- ...
Installation
You can install the package through composer:, (*3)
# php composer.phar require tomcan/soundtouchapi
# php composer.phar install
Then just include the composer autoloader to load it into your project:, (*4)
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
Usage
You can use all the commands in the same way. You create the command, send it to the client and receive a response back., (*5)
// initialize the client
$client = new SoundTouchClient(array('ip' => 'ip-address-of-system'));
// set the volume to 42
$command = new SoundTouchVolumeSetCommand();
$command->setVolume(42);
$response = $client->send($command);
// read the volume from the unit
$command = new SoundTouchVolumeGetCommand();
$response = $client->send($command);
echo "The volume is set to " . $response->getActual();
Status and TODO
All the commands documented in the Bose Webservices API documentation have been implemented.
(note: unlike documented in the API, /POST baseCapabilities does not exist), (*6)
In the more distant future
- Implement Discovery services to locate units
- Implement Websockets notifications, (*7)
Donate
Yeah, like that's ever going to happen... ;)
If you really like this library and have some money or gear to spare, I can always use an additional and/or bigger SoundTouch speaker.
Just drop me an e-mail at mot@tom.be., (*8)
