aiohifiberry 0.2.0

Async client for the HiFiBerry OS / HBOS NG AudioControl REST API

aiohifiberry

Async Python client for the HiFiBerry OS / HBOS NG AudioControl REST API.

This package is intended to hold the device communication layer used by a Home Assistant Core integration. It does not import Home Assistant.

Example

from aiohttp import ClientSession

from aiohifiberry import AudioControlClient


async with ClientSession() as session:
    client = AudioControlClient(session, "hifiberry.local")
    await client.async_update()
    print(client.now_playing)
    await client.async_command("pause")

Supported API Areas

• Connection validation.
• Now-playing and player discovery.
• Active-player capability detection.
• Play, pause, stop, next, and previous commands.
• Volume state and volume commands.
• HBOS NG cover-art lookup.

HBOS NG normally exposes AudioControl through the public web UI route:

http://<device>/api/audiocontrol/

Some builds also expose backend services on custom ports. The client defaults to port 80 and falls back to the public route for proxied endpoints when a non-80 port is supplied.
