An add-on for the Candle Controller / WebThings Gateway that allows you to play internet radio stations.
https://www.candlesmarthome.com
It has a nice interface to find and manage radio stations.
It also creates a thing with a few properties:
- Select the desired station from a drop-down.
- You can set the audio volume
- You can turn the radio on and off
- Artist and song name of currently playing music (if that data is encoded in the stream)
- Audio output (hdmi, headphone jack, or bluetooth speaker).
It uses persistence to remember the previous state (e.g. selected radio station, volume, playing).
You will need to have vlc-player installed on your system, if it isn't already.
Additionally, on Linux, you will need alsa-utils installed.
The Bluetooth functonality only works if Bluealsa is installed (The Candle Controller comes with all this pre-installed)
