4. Enable the extension In Roon, go to Settings -> Extensions and click on the "enable" button next to the roon-extension-http-api extension details.

Open a browser and go to the following link:

http://localhost:3002/

Port can be changed by changing the PORT variable in apps.js. IP should be changed to where the repository is located

TO create your own client, the following are the available WS calls

The server (apps.js) emits zone whenever there is a change

io.emit("zones", zones);

For the image, the client sends the image_key to the server

socket.emit('getImage', image_key);

Then the server returns the image

io.emit('image', { image: true, buffer: body.toString('base64') });

The server also listen to client's operational calls:

Change Volume

  var vol = new Object();
  vol.volume = volume;
  vol.outputId = outputId;

  socket.emit('changeVolume', JSON.stringify(vol));

Back Button

  socket.emit('goPrev', zone_id);

Next Button

  socket.emit('goNext', zone_id);

Pause/Play Button

  socket.emit('goPlayPause', zone_id);
