Auto music arriving home......

[Skywatch]

Hi.

I had a thought that it would be nice to have music playing as soon as I walk throught the door.

Thinking on this it would be simple to add a small transmitter to the door that sends a signal to the pi when it's opened. Then, the pi could run a python script to turn on the amp via a small relay board. This is all fairly simple.

But, how would you make a script to (for example) load an audio plugin (tunein radio) and select the station and volume you want to play?

I just think it would be cool to be welcomed home like this every day!

Or am I mad?
