Next Steps for You

1. Transfer to Raspberry Pi

From your Windows machine, transfer the project to your Raspberry Pi:

# Using scp (you have raspberrypi.local in your SSH known_hosts)
scp -r C:\intraffic\DigitalPianoPicnic pi@raspberrypi.local:~/

# Or use git (recommended)
cd C:\intraffic\DigitalPianoPicnic
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial implementation"
git push <your-remote-repo>

# Then on the Pi:
# git clone <your-repo-url> ~/DigitalPianoPicnic

2. Run Setup on Raspberry Pi

SSH into your Raspberry Pi and run the automated setup:

ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
cd ~/DigitalPianoPicnic
chmod +x setup.sh deployment/install-service.sh
./setup.sh

This will:

• Install system dependencies (libasound2-dev)
• Install Python dependencies
• Create config files from templates
• Prompt for your HA token
• List available MIDI ports

3. Configure Your Setup

Edit the configuration files:

nano config/app.yaml

Required changes:

1. Set ha.url to your Home Assistant WebSocket URL (or use default)
2. Set announce.device_id to your Assist Satellite device ID
3. Optionally change arming sequence to your preferred notes

nano config/mapping.yaml

Required changes:

1. Set defaults.config_entry_id to your Picnic integration ID (see below)
2. Map MIDI notes (60, 61, 62, etc.) to your Picnic product IDs
3. Set product names for announcements
4. Set amounts per product

Finding config_entry_id:

• Navigate to Settings → Devices & Services → Picnic integration in Home Assistant
• Copy the ID from the URL after /config/integration/
• Example: If URL is .../config/integration/01JEN4FWWJ123ABCDEF456789, use 01JEN4FWWJ123ABCDEF456789

Finding Product IDs:

Option 1: Web Interface (Easiest)

# Set credentials
export PICNIC_USERNAME='your@email.com'
export PICNIC_PASSWORD='yourpassword'

# Start web server
python3 tools/search_web.py

# Open http://localhost:8080
# Search → Select keyboard key → Click "Save to Config"

Option 2: Command-Line Tool

# Interactive mode
python3 tools/search_products.py --interactive

# Single search
python3 tools/search_products.py "product name"

Finding Picnic Config Entry ID (REQUIRED!):

1. Go to Settings → Devices & Services in Home Assistant
2. Click on the Picnic integration card
3. Look at the URL: http://homeassistant.local:8123/config/integrations/integration/01JEN4FWWJ...
4. Copy the ID after /integration/ (e.g., 01JEN4FWWJ123ABCDEF456789)
5. Add to config/mapping.yaml: defaults.config_entry_id: "01JEN4FWWJ123ABCDEF456789"

Finding Picnic Product IDs:

1. Open Picnic app and add a product to cart
2. In Home Assistant, go to Developer Tools → States
3. Find sensor.picnic_cart_items
4. Look at the state attributes for product IDs

Finding Assist Satellite Device ID:

1. Go to Settings → Devices & Services in Home Assistant
2. Click on your Assist Satellite device
3. Copy the device ID from the URL bar

4. Test Manually

Test the bridge before installing as a service:

cd ~/DigitalPianoPicnic

# Test mode (no Home Assistant required):
python3 src/bridge.py --test

# Real mode (requires HA_TOKEN):
python3 src/bridge.py

Testing checklist (test mode):

• MIDI port detected and opened
• Arming sequence works (play C-D-E or your custom sequence)
• System logs "System ARMED"
• Play a mapped key twice quickly
• System logs "[TEST MODE] Would add product..."
• System logs "[TEST MODE] Would announce..."

Additional checks (real mode):

• Product is added to Picnic cart
• Announcement is heard on Assist Satellite
• Check Home Assistant logs for service calls

5. Install as System Service

Once testing is successful, install as a service to run on boot:

sudo ./deployment/install-service.sh

This will:

• Copy service file to /etc/systemd/system/
• Enable the service for autostart
• Optionally start it immediately
• Show service status

Service management:

# View logs
sudo journalctl -u midi-ha.service -f

# Restart after config changes
sudo systemctl restart midi-ha.service

# Check status
sudo systemctl status midi-ha.service

6. Usage

Once the service is running:

1. Arm: Play your password sequence (default: Middle C, D, E)
2. Shop: Play any mapped key twice within 800ms
3. Listen: Hear the product name announced
4. Continue: Add more products (system stays armed)
5. Wait: System auto-disarms after 60s of inactivity

Configuration Tips

MIDI Note Numbers Reference

Middle C (C4) = 60, then:

• C4=60, C#4=61, D4=62, D#4=63, E4=64, F4=65, F#4=66, G4=67, G#4=68, A4=69, A#4=70, B4=71
• C5=72, C#5=73, D5=74... (add 12 per octave)

Most digital pianos have Middle C near the center. You can test by running:

python3 src/midi.py

Then press keys to see their note numbers.

Recommended Settings

For beginners:

• Simple sequence: [60, 62, 64] (C-D-E)
• Longer double-tap window: 1000ms
• Keep announcements enabled
• Set disarm_after_add: false (stay armed)

For advanced users:

• Complex sequence: [60, 62, 64, 65, 67] (C-D-E-F-G)
• Or use chord arming: chord: [60, 64, 67] (C major chord)
• Shorter double-tap: 600ms
• Enable disarm_after_add: true for security

For mapping:

• Map frequently-used products to white keys near middle C
• Use sharps/flats for less common items
• Higher octaves for categories (drinks, snacks, etc.)

Troubleshooting

See README.md "Troubleshooting" section for common issues.

Quick diagnostics:

# Check MIDI device connected
lsusb
amidi -l

# Check Home Assistant connectivity
curl -v ws://homeassistant.local:8123/api/websocket

# Check Python dependencies
pip3 list | grep -E "mido|rtmidi|websockets|yaml"

# Test each module independently
python3 src/midi.py           # MIDI input test
python3 src/ha_client.py      # HA client test (needs HA_TOKEN env var)
python3 src/bridge.py --test  # Keyboard test (no HA needed)
python3 src/bridge.py         # Full bridge test (needs HA)

curl -v ws://homeassistant.local:8123/api/websocket

Check Python dependencies

pip3 list | grep -E "mido|rtmidi|websockets|yaml"

Test each module independently

python3 src/midi.py # MIDI input test python3 src/ha_client.py # HA client test (needs HA_TOKEN env var) python3 src/bridge.py --test # Keyboard test (no HA needed) python3 src/bridge.py # Full bridge test (needs HA)
