Raspberry PI - SqueezeBox Music control through LDR

Install squeezelite.

Edit squeeze the variables: CURLURL and MAC. CURLURL = corresponds with the ip adres of the squeezeserver, make sure the webclient is available MAC = corresponds to the macadres in this file http://www.gerrelt.nl/RaspberryPi/squeezelite.sh , if you use it.

Place squeeze in your bin directory, and the linux command "squeeze play" will start playing music on your RPi Squeeze player

Then i wanted to pickup the LDR input, and call the squeeze commands, so it actually starts and stops on the light. That is where the ldr_control map is for, open the run.py in a text editor and change the following fields:

squeezecontrol = squeezebox.SqueezeControl('/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/', 10) 

/usr/local/bin is the location i placed my squeeze file, if it is an other directory, alter it.

timingBorder = 1500

You may want to play around with the timing border ( < 1500 = lights on, > 1500 = lights off ), 1500 fits my needs. IF you don't know the timings you hit, just add a print after.

timing = RCtime(gpio)

For example:

timing = RCtime(gpio) 
print timing

gpio = 4

The GPIO pin you use on your raspberry. You might also want to change squeezebox/squeezecontact.py I made a small time checker in it, so when you go to the bathroom late at night, you won't be scared by the music ;)

start = datetime.time(8, 0) // 8 AM 
end = datetime.time(22, 30) // 10:30 PM

Thats it for settings, make the run.py script executable ( chmod +x run.py ) Add it to you'r startup script and you are all set! Keep in mind, i did not put a massive effort in the code, it works, so i am content!
