Hi,
I have a Bose Soundtouch 20 and i would like to use PH
to control the basic functions like On/Off, volume and
source via WiFi. Wondering if anyone tried this or knows
if this can be done.
Thanks,
I

If you can get the Bose API, there might be a chance....I don't have the API (or hardware)...

Thanks for your reply Smarty. Got the Bose API tonight. Not sure I can figure this out on my own but I will try.

If you can (are allowed to) share part of the API, I will try to assist.

Hi Smarty, Thanks for offering to help. I might be wrong but the agreement is not that restrictive from what I can see. Let me know how would you like me to share these files.

Can you attach the relevant pages to this board? Or put them in a public box/dropbox location and then provide a link? etc..

From Section 4 -
These commands are the primary interface to command and control a Bose SoundTouch. They are sent
over HTTP on port 8090 to the SoundTouch device you would like to connect to using the GET and POST
methods.
......
So, you will need to find the IP address of the Bose device and then use port 8090. Probably also want to make a note of the MAC address as well.
......I am not a computer guy (rather a Mech Engr), but I am sure a few others will chime in....

Thanks for your help Smarty. I will try to play around with this and report back to the forum once I get to see some positive results.

Took a quick look at the docs and this should be doable. If Ive interpreted everything correctly, a sample command would look like this:
Code:
ph_posturl1("http://192.168.0.111:8090/key", '<key state="press" sender="Gabbo">PLAY</key>', 0, 5) + ph_posturl1("http://192.168.0.111:8090/key", '<key state="release"
sender="Gabbo">PLAY</key>', 0, 5)
|
|
|
Of course, you would need to substitute the 192.168.0.111 for the IP address of your Bose unit.
Additionally, the third parameter of the ph_posturl1 function (0 in the example) may need to be played with by trying values such as 1, 2, or 3.
Also, pay attention that Ive used single quotes to surround the second parameter since the post payload contains embedded double quotes. Hopefully the board doesnt mess up the
syntax too badly but if it does, you should be able to correct it based upon the Bose documentation.
Anyways, hope this helps and gives you an example to play around with.
Dave.

Thanks so much Dave. I've been playing around with the same values and it seemed to be working but the formula kept returning an error (posted below). I finally figure out why. Looks like 0 is the right value for the third parameter of the post function. Now everything works just fine.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><status>/key</status>*ERROR* - 12214 Invalid command specified
Thanks again for your help.
