Python library for interfacing with Sony's Songpal devices
Project description
Python 3 implementation of SongPal protocol as used by Sony’s soundbar and potentially other devices.
Supported devices
The library has been tested to work with following devices:
BDV-N9200W
CMT-SX7B
HT-XT2, HT-XT3
HT-NT5
HT-MT500
HT-ZF9
HT-ST5000
SRS-X77, SRS-X88, SRS-X99
STR-DN1060, STR-DN1070, STR-DN1080
Getting started
Installation
The easiest way to install is by using pip:
$ pip install python-songpal
Locating the endpoint
To communicate with the device you need to locate its endpoint URL. The easiest way to do is to execute the discover command:
$ songpal discover
Discovering for 3 seconds
Found HT-XT3 - BAR-2015
* API version: 1.0
* Endpoint: http://192.168.1.1:10000/sony
* Services:
- Service: guide
- Service: system
- Service: audio
- Service: avContent
This will run a UPnP discovery to find out responsive devices implementing the ScalarWebAPI.
The endpoint can be defined with --endpoint option, or alternatively SONGPAL_ENDPOINT environment variable can be set.
General Usage
The accompanied songpal tool can be used to control your device. All available commands can be listed with --help and more help on each command can be obtained by passing it to the sub-command, e.g., songpal power --help. Most interesting commands are most likely power, output, volume, and sound.
Generally speaking invoking a command without any parameters will display some relevant information like settings or active output.
For debugging -d (--debug) can be passed – also multiple times for increased verbosity – for protocol-level information.
Some of the commands can be used to adjust settings related to that functionality, usually by passing the target and its wanted value as parameters to the command.
$ songpal bluetooth mode off
On commands which are not mainly used for settings, such as power, require explicit set sub-command for changing the settings.
Status
$ songpal status
will display some basic information about the device, such as whether it is powered on and what are its volume settings.
Power Control
power command can be used to both turning the device on and off, and change its power settings.
$ songpal power
$ songpal power settings
$ songpal power
$ songpal power set quickStartMode on
Volume Control
$ songpal volume [-- output 'output title'] [<value>|mute|unmute]
$ songpal volume 20
$ songpal volume +5
$ songpal volume -10
$ songpal volume --output 'Zone 2'
$ songpal volume --output 'Main Zone' 15
Sound Settings
Your device may support various sound-related settings, such as night mode or adjusting the subwoofer volume.
$ songpal sound
$ songpal sound nightMode off
$ songpal sound subwooferLevel 4
Zone Control
$ songpal zone
Zones:
* Main Zone (uri: extOutput:zone?zone=1) (active)
* Zone 2 (uri: extOutput:zone?zone=2) (active)
* Zone 3 (uri: extOutput:zone?zone=3)
* HDMI Zone (uri: extOutput:zone?zone=4)
$ songpal zone 'Main Zone'
Activating Main Zone (uri: extOutput:zone?zone=1) (active)
$ songpal zone 'Zone 2' true
Activating Zone 2 (uri: extOutput:zone?zone=2) (active)
$ songpal zone 'Zone 2' false
Deactivating Zone 2 (uri: extOutput:zone?zone=2) (active)
Input Control
without zones: .. code-block:
$ songpal input * HDMI1 (uri: extInput:hdmi?port=1) * HDMI2 (uri: extInput:hdmi?port=2) (active) * HDMI3 (uri: extInput:hdmi?port=3) $ songpal input HDMI1
with zones: .. code-block:
$ songpal input Inputs: * SOURCE (uri: extInput:source) - extOutput:zone?zone=2 - extOutput:zone?zone=3 - extOutput:zone?zone=4 * GAME (uri: extInput:game) (active) - extOutput:zone?zone=1 - extOutput:zone?zone=4 * SAT/CATV (uri: extInput:sat-catv) - extOutput:zone?zone=1 - extOutput:zone?zone=2 - extOutput:zone?zone=3 - extOutput:zone?zone=4 * VIDEO 1 (uri: extInput:video?port=1) - extOutput:zone?zone=1 - extOutput:zone?zone=2 - extOutput:zone?zone=3 - extOutput:zone?zone=4 * VIDEO 2 (uri: extInput:video?port=2) - extOutput:zone?zone=1 - extOutput:zone?zone=4 * TV (uri: extInput:tv) - extOutput:zone?zone=1 * SA-CD/CD (uri: extInput:sacd-cd) - extOutput:zone?zone=1 - extOutput:zone?zone=2 - extOutput:zone?zone=3 - extOutput:zone?zone=4 * Bluetooth Audio (uri: extInput:btAudio) - extOutput:zone?zone=1 - extOutput:zone?zone=2 - extOutput:zone?zone=3 $ songpal input 'VIDEO 1' $ songpal input 'SOURCE' --output 'Zone 2'
Device Settings
To list available settings, use settings command.
$ songpal settings
Do note that some settings (e.g. bluetooth settings) are not listed in the global settings tree, but have to be separatedly accessed using the bluetooth command.
Executing custom commands
For experimenting it can be useful to execute arbitrary commands against the endpoint. You can access the available methods by calling songpal list-all.
command can be used for that as follows:
$ songpal command system getSystemInformation
Notification support
The protocol supports subscribing to notifications on subsystem basis. Executing songpal notifications without any parameters will list available notifications.
Every notification can be listened to separately, or alternatively all notifications from a single subsystem can be subscribed to.
$ songpal notifications --listen-all avContent

Reporting bugs or supported devices
When reporting bugs or informing about supported device not listed above, please consider attaching the output of songpal dump-devinfo with your report.
API information
Audio Control API describes the API this project (currently partially) implements.
The Camera Remote API is also similar to this, and may also be useful for developers.
Home Assistant support
Home Assistant supports devices using this library directly since 0.65: https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.songpal/
