upnp-client --pprint call-action http://WIIM_IP:49152/description.xml AVTransport/GetInfoEx InstanceID=0 | jq -r '.out_parameters.CurrentTransportState' does indeed work, thanks!

Yeah, I tried that one, but couldn’t make it work. Some strange issue with jq parseing.

OK thanks. I don’t know how to poll the UPnP interface using bash, any hints are greatly appreciated.

I use curl -s --insecure https://WIIM_IP/httpapi.asp\?command\=getPlayerStatus | jq -r '.status' where WIIM_IP is the IP of the WiiM Pro unit to poll the current playback status. This works perfectly with Airplay, Spotify Connect, Chromecast and returns "play" or "stop", according to the...

In case anyone is interested: Using Wifi, the WiiM Pro uses about 1.7 Watts (both when playback is active and when the unit is idle).

I am also interested in power consumption in Watts, both for active playback and standby, but am not satisfied with answers of the style "It doesn't matter" or some speculation. I would be grateful if someone who owns a Wiim Pro and a Wattmeter measures the power consumption, so that we know...

After some initial testing it looks like it may still not be entirely realiable (in the sense that the service stops working after a while). Many thanks nonetheless!

curl -s --insecure https://LAN_IP/httpapi.asp\?command=getPlayerStatus | jq -r '.status' returns play or stop, depending of the status of the WiiM streamer. I'd like to have a similar functionality using upnp-client (so something like TRUE for playback and FALSE for idle/standby), but can't...

I'm struggling to parse the output of async-upnp-client. For reasons I don't understand upnp-client subscribe http://LAN_IP:49152/description.xml RC AVTransport | jq '.state_variables.TransportState' shows me "PLAYING" if a new track starts, but nothing happens when I hit play/pause.

I'm not a software engineer, but feel reasonably comfortable with python. Many thanks for pointing out this library!

So I used curl and and jq to parse the resulting JSON output, but this has the disadvantage of the need for continuous polling, as mentioned above. So the possibility to let the WiiM mini notify my linux server of a status change sounds intriguing, but I would appreciate some additional infos on...

That's too bad. Many thanks for your help though!

Thank you, that's very helpful! Unfortunately there is only a self-signed certificate in use for the https request. This results in trouble when trying to expose the WiiM status in Apple Homekit via homebridge (more specifically the plugin homebridge-http-advanced-accessory). Are there plans to...

I have my WiiM mini connected to an amplifier and I would like to turn on the amplifier automatically once music starts playing. This idea is to detect network traffic to the Wiim mini and if traffic is detected use an IR remote that is controlled via homebridge to turn on the amplifier. If I...
