Tasker commanding Loxone/Sonos4Lox

[Pilaarbijter]

Hello everyone,

I'm need of some Tasker/Loxone specialist vision here.

Here's the deal.

I would like to mute my Sonos system when I get a call on my cellphone.

I allready have a paid Tasker running on my cellphone. I was thinking about using 'phone call' and 'connected to a certain wifi' as event triggers in Tasker. No brainer there.

The tricky part is how I should configure my task. I've been thinking about using HTTP request. Can use GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS, TRACE commands.
Thing is I need an URL to write my results to and that's where I'm stuck.

I imagined something like this: i get a call when i'm home, tasker sends an url with value 1 for example. This would make Loxone (via the Sonos4Loxone-plugin) mute the Sonos beam.

Anyone has any ideas?

I have a Loxberry, Sonos4Loxone installed.

For the German speaking Loxxers over here, please feel free to reply in German. I'll understand

Thanks for looking into this.

create a virtual input in loxone and use tasker to write to the url of the virtual input to turn it on/off (the same way is used for Shelly buttons)

then deal with loxone>sonos4lox using the virtual input

eg: http://loginassword@serverIP/dev/sps/io/VI171/on where VIxx is the number of the virtual input in lox config

Thanks for the reply ^^

I don't understand it yet. Which serverpath do I need to put in? The miniserver's path/adres?

And what kind of virtual input? A regular, UDP, HTTP?

yes the miniserver ip using http, using one of your miniserver userloginassword so for example http://userassword@192.168.0.100/dev/sps/io/VI100/on, you have to have created the virtual input in loxone (digital) and look for its VI number

so your phone activates a virtual input on loxone via tasker, then you can use the virtual input activated in loxone to pause the

Great, it worked!!!

Used a HTTP Request GET in Tasker and it worked like a charm.

Thank you very much.

Might edit your second link: it says /dv/ and it should say /dev/. It took my a while to see it

I'm back with another question concerning this issue.

I have a button that I would like to switch on via a webhook (IFTT). The command http://userassword@192.168.0.100/dev/sps/io/VI100/on does not work when I'm not on my home network. I've been trying out with adding the dns-adress from the Loxone-manual but I can't get it to work. Any help here?
