How to tell if a player is playing from a script

[sifuhall]

I have a script I would like to check if a sonos player is playing and I've tried this:

hs.writelog("BathroomMusic",hs.DeviceValueByName("RINCON_000E5870EB2201400"))

But it seems to return -1 no matter what.

What is the correct way to determine if a sonos player is playing from within a script?

Don't know either but the name looks wrong. Click on the hyperlink for the player status device in the device status page. I think it may show the reference (number) and perhaps the right Name to use. If you can't find either all HS references can be found in the sonos.ini config file.

hs.writelog("BathroomMusic",hs.DeviceValueByName("Floor Room State"))

Or find the device ref of the "State" device for the player you're interested in and use hs.DeviceValue(ref)

1=Playing
2=Stopped
3=Paused

Thank you both! That worked great!
