How to realize a radio station rotation

[ulilicht]

Hi there,

I'm currently exploring controlling radio stations on Raumfeld speakers through an Ikea Styrbar controller with two buttons, left and right.

My goal:
We usually listen to around 4 different radio stations. I'd like to rotate through them.

Desired behavior:
If no music is playing, click "next" and start with first radio station.
If music is already playing, click "next" and play the next radio station.
If music is already playing, click "previous" and play the previous radio station.

--> rotate forward and backwards through 4 predefined stations like this.

How would you realize this?
I was thinking about an *.m3u playlist which contains the 4 stations, but Raumfeld seems not to be able to play the m3u file.

Thanks for your ideas!

For anyone working on something similar:

I have for now realized the described functionality through Raumfeld Playlists.

• Create a playlist in the Raumfeld App (on a radio station, Burger Menu, add to Teufel Playlist)
• When playing through home assistant, select the playlist instead of the item.

There is still one open issue related to Spotify (integration has some issues, see #4 ) but in general it works well.

For reference, if anyone needs something similar, here is the "Press Next Button" automation YAML:
