Schedule a Queue

[neko (Leonardo)]

It would be nice to have the ability to schedule a queue.
I would like to be able to build up to (X number) queues, or, temporary playlists, and schedule them to start playing in a specific zone, at a specific time.
Or mayebe not automatically playing but triggering an alert: “it’s time for your scheduled queue to play on ZoneX, do you want to go ahead? Yes- No”.

An alarm function Where you can play a playlist (Roon, Tidal, qobus) or radio station…
Like Sonos.

Depending on your enthusiasm for tinkering with external code / extension you might be able to setup something similar to what you want using the Roon Alarm Clock extension.

Roon Extension: Alarm Clock v0.9.0

Short description: Roon Extension to start or stop playback on a specific zone at a specific time. Description: This extension turns your Roon system into an alarm clock. You select a zone, an action, a time, and a volume and when the time is right playback starts or stops. The main features (in short) are: 5 independent alarms (number can change), all with their own zone, action, day, time and volume A Play or Stop action, allowing for a wake or sleep function A week timer, allowing for an…

Another option, which will almost certainly provide you with the functionality you need, but will likely require more setup / work is Home Assistant running somewhere on your network (NAS, Roon Core, raspberry PI) with the Roon Integration installed. Then just setup an automation to trigger a playlist within Roon at a particular time.

Obviously you may just be asking for this as a feature in Roon itself, which is fair enough, just pointing out some ‘stop gap’ solutions you might want to try in the short term.

Thanks. I tinker alright Already have Roon integrated with HA and using it for other things, that’s for sure an option.
The Alarm Clock extension sounds interesting, thanks I’ll definitely give it a try!

So basically we already have options to trigger playlists, and that’s nice. It would be cool to have ‘queues’ or a temporary playlist. So once has been played, it’s gone.

You could also use my new extension macro.on. Beside alarms, it comes with further automation possibilities. Have a look at it!
