Display textmessage on Squeezebox devices
This flow enables text, which is received from a message on the squeezebox\sendmessage MQTT topic, to be displayed on all connected Squeezebox devices.
For this flow a working LMS (Logitech Media Server) is required, which listens on the 9090 port (default telnet port of LMS), and a working MQTT broker.
Setup instructions: Included in the flow (on the right side next to the Information nodegroup).
Usage example:
When it's about to rain in the next 15 minutes I let NodeRed send a MQTT message to the "squeezebox\sendmessage" topic with the text "x.x mm rain expected in the next 15 minutes.".
When someone presses the doorbel, I let NodeRed send a message to the "squeezebox\sendmessage" topic with the text "Doorbell ringing".
