Raspi Alarm Clock

This project extends the Volumio project (see https://volumio.org) , triggering a specific Spotify playlist to play when a Google calendar event occurs.

This code was tested on a Raspi2 model, running Volumio 1.55

Requirements

• Google calendar API oAuth 2 client id (Type: Other) registered at console.developers.google.com, which has google calendar API enabled.
• A machine running Volumio

Installation

$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ sudo python get-pip.py
$ git clone https://github.com/StryKaizer/Raspi-alarm-clock.git
$ cd Raspi-alarm-clock
$ sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
$ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/salix-sbo/files/13.37/pyfeed/pyfeed-0.7.4.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf pyfeed-0.7.4.tar.gz
$ cd pyfeed-0.7.4
$ sudo python setup.py install

Add your Google oAuth JSON file to the project root folder using as name client_secret.json

Configure settings by editting the config.cfg file

Authenticate with your google calendar by running following command, then copy/paste the url in a browser

$ python raspi_alarm_clock.py --noauth_local_webserver

After that, past the verification code back into the commandline

You can now test if the script works by running

$ python raspi_alarm_clock.py

Now open cronjob configuration by running

$ crontab -e

Add this line at the end:

*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/python2.7 /home/pi/Raspi-alarm-clock/raspi_alarm_clock.py

Volumio kills the cron daemon by default, so lets comment out that line of code by running

$ sudo nano /var/www/command/orion_optimize.sh

Then find following line and add a # in front of it.

killall -9 cron

Your playlist will now fire every time a Google calendar event occurs. Goodnight!
