rooExtend – The easy start with Roon Extensions

I tried searching again and found it this time!

The discussion starts here, and includes the workaround /serviceaction.html?command=reboot solution from @Henry_Svendblad a few replies further down:

rooExtend – The easy start with Roon Extensions

@DrCWO I have a feature request, and I don’t think this is a heard one. It would be much appreciated if you could add a “Reboot rooExtend”-button under the “Shutdown rooExtend”-button in the GUI of rooExtend. Now, when there have been any sort of issue with rooExtend, and you just want to restart/reboot the RPI, you have to push on “Shutdown rooExtend” and then you have to power off the RPI an d power it back on. But pushing the button, you can do from wherever you have network-access. Powerin…

So the only thing I am able to offer is to add the reboot button if no ZEXMTE antenna is plugged.

In fact, it would be great if you could do this conditional feature , @DrCWO

A button on the extended settings page would be more convenient than the <rooextend-ip-address>/serviceaction.html?command=reboot workaround (for anyone without the ZEXMTE BT antenna).

@Tampo_Tempo

could you please remind me what the URL parameter is that I can append to the rooExtend IP address to reboot rooExtend

If you open the IP of rooExtend with http://[ip of your rooExtend] you will see a lot of buttons for the different functions at the end of the service page.

Just press the button you like to use and look to the URL in the browser after that.

There is no button for reboot as with a reboot the antenna for BT cannot be initialized again and rooDial and rooNuimo will not work after that any more. So only the shutdown is available.

Thanks @DrCWO. Some time ago, you mentioned a possible enhancement to add the reboot button conditionally, when no BT antenna is detected.

I’m just wondering if you would be able to implement this feature sometime? It would be a nice convenience for those of us that are not using BT.

Like some others have mentioned, I have my rooExtend RPi in the cellar. So it’s not convenient to restart it after a shutdown, on the rare occasion that I do so.

I checked the code and this is real
I once implemented a set of service actions and forgot about it
So you can trigger all of the with a URL from the browser or elsewhere.

You can trigger these service actions with the following URLs

• Reboot rooExtend
  http://[IP of rooExtend]/serviceaction.html?command=reboot

• Delete all your configuration settings
  http://[IP of rooExtend]/serviceaction.html?command=deleteConfig

• Unpair the Surface Dial
  http://[IP of rooExtend]/serviceaction.html?command=unpairDial

• Delete the WiFi settings
  http://[IP of rooExtend]/serviceaction.html?command=deleteWiFi

So I see no more need to implement the button.

Perhaps because a button is way more conviniant than to have to remember an URL of 10cm long?
