Delay a command / stop music with a click of a button (Trigger Happy)

[MikhailK]

Hi all,

Im looking for a sollution the activate the sleep timer, or to delay toggle.
I tried using this py script from SANGERA2

SANGERA2/mpdcron-sleep-enabler/blob/main/usr/local/bin/activate_sleep.py

But for some reason it only shuts down my player instead of stopping the music.

#PLAY PAUSE TOGGLE
KEY_ENTER 1 /usr/local/bin/volumio toggle

Is there a quick for this ? Can i add a delay in the command above ? How ?

[Guide] Service: Auto Enable Sleep on play

I use rockbox on some old Sansa clip devices and it has a brilliant feature explained here where you can automatically enable sleep on boot and restart the countdown every time you press a key. I wanted this on Volumio, so I wrote a Python client that connects to the socket.io server and enables sleep if it’s not already enabled on every play event. This is triggered when you start playing a track or when it skips to the next track. I used the brilliant mpdcron app to listen for the events as i…

[GUIDE] Keyboard shortcuts with triggerhappy

I wasn’t able to easily found a solution for sending terminal commands/control Volumio with keyboard. Most of the solutions that you will find will always require you to run a Gui. And since you shouldn’t need one to run with Volumio I come up with this simple solution. Long history short about my project: Since among other things I have 17 buttons and 5 rotary encoders I had to do something different to avoid lacking GPIO pins. So I’ve connected everything to an Adafruit Pro Trinket. The code…

Why not just using time.sleep(5) and avoid doing this via the socket.io?

[MikhailK]

so something like this ?

#ACTIVATE SLEEP
KEY_ENTER 1 /usr/local/bin/volumio time.sleep( 5 )

was referring to your python script.
If you want to do it form bash you need something like:
/bin/bash -c "sleep 30; command to execute"

Still have no idea how i should do this.
I tried adjusting my trigger happy config file to

#ACTIVATE SLEEP
KEY_ENTER 1 /bin/bash -c "sleep 30; command to execute"

But this doenst work

it should as I am using it also here:

Date Time issues rPi4

Hi @SimonE Currently I Have this running, which seems to do the trick for me on a rPi4, bypassing the script. All in the service. I know the sleep is all but elegant, but I experienced the same issue as @eMCZe mentioned. 7 out of 10 it worked, but not consistent. sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/setdatetime.service [Unit] Description=Set local time using time server [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "sleep 30; /usr/bin/sudo /bin/date -s \"$(/usr/bin/curl -s --head http://google.com…

YES, Thank you !
Took me a while to understand what you ment with ‘command to execute’

#TOGGLE PLAY/PAUSE AFTER 1 HOUR
KEY_ENTER 1 /bin/bash -c “sleep 3600; /usr/local/bin/volumio toggle”
