I’ve been absolutely loving my journey with OpenHAB! It’s such a versatile platform, and I’ve managed to integrate so many cool devices like Hue lights, my home CCTV cameras, and even Alexa. However, I’ve hit a bit of a snag when it comes to controlling my Amazon Echo devices through the Habpanel interface. Specifically, I’m trying to set up buttons to play certain radio stations, but it’s been a bit of a puzzle.
I started by using the playMusicVoiceCommand channel, which worked for some stations, but I noticed that BBC Radio stations weren’t showing up. I did a bit of research and found out that TuneIn might no longer support BBC stations, which was a bit of a letdown. I then discovered the My Tuner Radio skill on Alexa, which allows me to access SWR3, a station I really enjoy. I was hopeful that I could replicate this functionality within Habpanel, but I’m still figuring out how to make it work seamlessly.
I’ve attached a screenshot of my current setup in case anyone can spot something I might have missed. Any advice or tips would be incredibly appreciated! I’m really excited to crack this and get all my favorite stations integrated into my smart home setup.
