# FS Internet Radio Binding

This binding integrates internet radios based on the Frontier Silicon chipset (opens new window).

# Supported Things

Successfully tested are internet radios:

But in principle, all internet radios based on the Frontier Silicon chipset (opens new window) should be supported because they share the same API. So It is very likely that other internet radio models of the same manufacturers do also work.

# Community

For discussions and questions about supported radios, check out this thread (opens new window).

# Discovery

The radios are discovered through UPnP in the local network.

If your radio is not discovered, please try to access its API via: http://<radio-ip>/fsapi/CREATE_SESSION?pin=1234 (1234 is default pin, if you get a 403 error, check the radio menu for the correct pin).
If you get a 404 error, maybe a different port than the standard port 80 is used by your radio; try scanning the open ports of your radio.
If you get a result like FS_OK 1902014387, your radio is supported.

If this is the case, please add your model to this documentation (opens new window) and/or provide discovery information in this thread (opens new window).

# Binding Configuration

The binding itself does not need a configuration.

# Thing Configuration

Each radio must be configured via its ip address, port, pin, and a refresh rate.

  • If the ip address is not discovered automatically, it must be manually set.
  • The default port is 80 which should work for most radios.
  • The default pin is 1234 for most radios, but if it does not work or if it was changed, look it up in the on-screen menu of the radio.
  • The default refresh rate for the radio items is 60 seconds; 0 disables periodic refresh.

# Channels

All devices support some of the following channels:

Channel Type ID Item Type Description Access
power Switch Switch the radio on or off R/W
volume-percent Dimmer Radio volume (min=0, max=100) R/W
volume-absolute Number Radio volume (min=0, max=32) R/W
mute Switch Mute the radio R/W
mode Number The radio mode, e.g. FM radio, internet radio, AUX, etc. (model-specific, see list below) R/W
preset Number Preset radio stations configured in the radio (write-only) W
play-info-name String The name of the current radio station or track R
play-info-text String Additional information e.g. of the current radio station R

The radio mode depends on the internet radio model (and its firmware version!). This list is just an example how the mapping looks like for some of the devices, please try it out and adjust your sitemap for your particular radio.
