Configuration

No configuration is needed, it works out of the box, however, you can edit config.json if you need to.

{
"http_local_port":                  8090,
"devialet_ipaddress":               "autodetect",
"devialet_port":                    "autodetect",
"devialet_device_description_xml":  "autodetect",
"ssdp_detection_interval":          10000,
"volume_step":                      10,
"debug":                            false
}

Each variable in the config can have these options:

• http_local_port: Local port to use to listen HTTP request.
• devialet_ipaddress and devialet_port: Can be used together to force this program to use a specific or undetected sound system.
• devialet_device_description_xml: Can be used to force a specific device.
• ssdp_detection_interval: Interval to make SSDP request to find a device.
• volume_step: Up and Down volume step to use.
• debug: Let you use a .env file to specify environnement variable.

Using this program as a service

If you use it every day with your speakers, it would be better to configure it as a service on a Linux server or on your personal computer. By doing it, the program will always be running.

Linux with systemd

You can simply install the service on Linux by entering the command

sudo node install_service.js

It will create a file /etc/systemd/system/devialet.service

You can then start the service by doing sudo systemctl start devialet

Windows

You can simply install the service on Windows by entering the command

node install_service.js

To check if it works, just open http://127.0.0.1:8090 on your browser
