As far as I know the toniebox has no internal clock unfortunately. So I think I can answer my first question by myself. However you guys know better what is really in the box and what’s not.
The thing is, my kids use the toniebox during the day but also in the evening when falling asleep. But sometimes one of my kids is early up and puts on the max allowed volume which is kinda loud (cause using it during day). So by now I have to set the max volume to the lowest in teddycloud and refresh the box before they go to bed, and then again in the morning to max middle volume. And when I forget that in the evening everybody is up at 5 in the morning because it’s to loud.
So I thought there could be a way of setting the max volume by time. But with no internal clock it won’t be possible I think. Is there maybe another technical solution? Like having an command on the self made tonies so that it refreshes automatically and syncs with the cloud.
To set the max volume in the cloud is not the problem. I can handle that somehow, for example with a python script. But the problem is to get these settings onto the box. I think there is really no possibility for that. But you guys know best. Maybe the is a surprise
You could use a small Python script to access Teddycloud’s API directly and automatically change the maximum volume at specified times.
To do this, you would need to find the API endpoints and have the volume changed at the appropriate times.
You would also need to configure the script to start automatically with your system (systemd)…
Here’s an example script that might work (I haven’t tested it myself, as it still needs to be adapted)!
