Fully kiosk volume slider

@Sgt.Flippy_PJ, you will need to use the <input type="range"> element, instead of <button> in this case. You can either set a listener and send the request when the range input value changes, or add a button next to it, so you adjust the volume then click the button to send the request.

Afternoon at work I found out about the range and you can read the value. So if my reasoning is okay, I should be able to declare the variable value, mix it in with the remote admin address and then I should be good.
HTML and Javascript and a little bit of CSS is quite a lot to read about to find 1 specific use :rofl: But it’s already been interesting!

Will have to do some fiddling tonight to see if what I have in my mind works.

Now I’m at the stage the slider works, it loads up, but it doesn’t adjust the volume.
I have variables set for the part of the url before and after what the input needs to be. But I can’t figure out what to put there for the slider result.
Now when I move the slider, it sends the request, but it always sets the volume to 50 (the default value of the slider).

Are you using onchange event listener in the range element to trigger the volume setting request? If so, you should be able to get the event’s value directly. Can you post the code snippet so we can better understand and help?

Yes, using onchange, I have tried a number of things as URL 3, with varying results. Most gave me an error message from remote admin, discarding non-numeral or invalid numbers. The current code always sets volume to 50 instead of the desired number. The text beneath the bar changes correctly though, so guess I’m inputting a wrong part.

As I said, I’m completely new at this, so this might be something really stupid and I’m just trying to understand things and using snippets from various sources to try out. So it’s possible there’s stuff in there that’s completely useless.

Here’s the full code:

<h1>Custom Range Slider</h1>
<p>Drag the slider to display the current value.</p>

<div class="slidecontainer">
  <input type="range" min="0" max="100" value="50" step="10" class="slider" id="myRange" list="tickmarks">

let URL2 = "&stream=3&password=XXX"

let URL3 = Number(myRange.value)
let URL = URL1 + URL3 + URL2

output.innerHTML = slider.value;

  slider.onchange = function() {
  output.innerHTML = this.value;
      var popupwin = window.open(URL,'Volume','width=150,height=150,left=5,top=3');
    setTimeout(function() { popupwin.close();}, 6000);
}

I declare myself an idiot…

As in my code, all the variables are before the function, they need to be inside.
I got it working!

PS: for anyone searching for this, here’s the code. I’m still working on styling it a bit (aka learning how to). I already made it vertical, it fits better to my needs. From what I read, this also only works in Chrome.

To use, replace IP ADDRESS with your own and XXX with your remote admin password, inside the URL1 and URL2 parts of the code. To handle different audio streams, like bluetooth, calls or alarms, edit the number after “stream” in URL2.

Quick edit so the volume level is shown while moving the slider, so you can tell what volume you will be setting to.

Per your question about how to style content in custom tiles to fit different sized devices… and my response around the complexity of styling standard HTML range inputs especially when vertical and dynamic scaling is desired… and how using an external range/slider library can sometimes simplify this, here’s an updated copy of your custom tile using the popular noUiSlider library:

Awesome, just read the code and looks like you also fixed the issue with the label not being correct when reloading the page, if I’m not mistaken.

Looks amazing, thank you so much!

It’s still just using your 50% default. :slight_smile:
(It just reads it from the ‘range’ that gets created)

I played with this a bit further and added some more customizations. After adding this tile to your dashboard, you can edit the tile and there’s some settings you can tweak.

By default, this version uses the native local JavaScript API that you can enable in Fully Kiosk browser (Advanced Web Settings > Enable JS API). This should result in better stability and the ability to read the current volume level when the tile is first loaded.

You can also disable that in the tile settings and you’ll be presented with options to enter the IP address and passcode for Fully Remote Admin. That approach will use your popup communication by default or you can change the tile setting to 'iframe' which is invisible and works on Fully but requires allowing mixed content in Chrome.

Can a slider like this be used to control Sonos speakers? I would love to be able to use this for the six sonos amps I have… it’s much more convenient and clean then up down arrows

What type of hub are you using? In theory, something like this could be used to control devices from a smart home hub, but it would need to be customized to call the relevant API.

A community member put something like this together so they could control multiple SmartThings lights at once. In theory, that could be modified to control volume instead.

There’s also a few relevant feature requests that you might want to cast a vote on (and reply with your use case to bump the thread):

Hi Josh,
Thank you for the information. I am using Smartthings as my hub. I will take a look at a few of the other projects, however I am not very well versed in some of the more advanced coding. Thank you!

So I tried to update the light dimmer switch to work with Sonos and yea… not working, and that is because I have no clue what I am doing… am I even close? Thank you!

From a quick glance, it seems like you’re headed in the right direction.

var data = '{"commands": [{"component": "main", "capability": "volume", "command": "setLevel", "arguments": ['+value+']}]}';

I would double check what your device is reporting here. You might be looking for the capability audioVolume which has a command setVolume(volume).

Hi Josh! Thank you for the pointers… I added your suggestions and nothing. I made an API token… and got the device ID off the IDE page…so I do not think that is the issue. You said to check what my device is reporting, how do I go about doing this? Thank you!!!

As a follow up… I know for other actions… like clicking a button I get a message saying command sent, however, with the slider I am not seeing this message. Is this another reason why this probably isnt working? Thanks!

Are you getting a response of 200 back?

You can verify what capabilities and commands the device is reporting in SharpTools:

  1. Open your SharpTools.io User Page
  2. Tap the ... next to your location
  3. Scroll down and tap on the device
  4. Review the capabilities section (toward the top) and commands (toward the bottom)

The Custom Tile code would have to explicitly implement that functionality which this one doesn’t.

I would recommend getting familiar with your browser’s developer tools for this kind of thing though (F12 on most modern browsers). For example, this Custom Tile logs a bunch of stuff to the console… and if there are errors, they usually show up in the console.
