Support: asound config

This might be pretty far out of scope for this platform, but I thought I’d ask anyhow; I have platypush running on several rasberry pi’s, together with an instance of snapclient. I want platypush to lower the volume of the snapclient output upon platypush.message.event.assistant.HotwordDetectedEvent, and then set the volume to whatever it was before, at platypush.message.event.assistant.ConversationEndEvent (or whaterver).

I guess the core of my problem is; how to configure alsa so that I have a separate volume control for my snapclient? Do you by any chance have an example for this? 😃

Then you could move the second music.snapcast.volume directive inside of your ResponseEvent hook, so it resets the volume only after the tts.

The actions in an event hook are indeed executed sequentially, so if you put tts.google.say before music.snapcast.volume the order should be respected. If you want to execute actions in parallel/asynchronously then you can wrap them in a procedure.async.<name> instead.

You can use music.snapcast.status to query the status of a specific host/client and get the volume:

# Getting and storing the volume in an in-memory variable

-
    action: music.snapcast.status
    args:
        host: localhost
        client: your-client

-
    action: variable.mset
    args:
        SNAPCAST_VOLUME: ${config['volume']['percent']}

# Restoring the volume

-
    action: variable.mget
    args:
        name: SNAPCAST_VOLUME

-
    action: music.snapcast.volume
    args:
        host: localhost
        client: your-client
        volume: ${SNAPCAST_VOLUME}
