## Device Management

### Recipe: Robust Device Discovery

**Problem**: Reliably find all SoundTouch devices on the network with fallback options.

```go
package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "time"

    "github.com/gesellix/bose-soundtouch/pkg/client"
    "github.com/gesellix/bose-soundtouch/pkg/discovery"
)

func discoverAllDevices(timeout time.Duration) ([]*client.Client, error) {
    discoverer := discovery.NewDiscoverer(discovery.Config{
        Timeout: timeout,
    })

    fmt.Printf("🔍 Discovering SoundTouch devices (timeout: %v)...\n", timeout)
    
    devices, err := discoverer.DiscoverDevices()
    if err != nil {
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("discovery failed: %w", err)
    }

    if len(devices) == 0 {
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("no devices found on network")
    }

    // Create clients for each device
    var clients []*client.Client
    for _, device := range devices {
        config := client.ClientConfig{
            Host:    device.Host,
            Port:    device.Port,
            Timeout: 5 * time.Second,
        }
        
        c := client.NewClient(config)
        
        // Verify connectivity
        if _, err := c.Ping(); err != nil {
            log.Printf("⚠️  Device at %s:%d not responding: %v", device.Host, device.Port, err)
            continue
        }
        
        clients = append(clients, c)
    }

    fmt.Printf("✅ Found %d responsive device(s)\n", len(clients))
    return clients, nil
}

// Usage with fallback to known IPs
func getDevicesWithFallback() []*client.Client {
    // Try discovery first
    clients, err := discoverAllDevices(10 * time.Second)
    if err == nil && len(clients) > 0 {
        return clients
    }

    log.Printf("Discovery failed: %v, trying known IPs...", err)

    // Fallback to known IP addresses
    knownIPs := []string{"192.0.2.100", "192.0.2.101", "192.0.2.102"}
    
    var clients []*client.Client
    for _, ip := range knownIPs {
        c := client.NewClientFromHost(ip)
        if _, err := c.Ping(); err == nil {
            clients = append(clients, c)
            log.Printf("✅ Connected to device at %s", ip)
        }
    }

    return clients
}
```

### Recipe: Device Health Monitoring

**Problem**: Monitor device connectivity and automatically reconnect.

```go
type DeviceMonitor struct {
    client      *client.Client
    deviceName  string
    healthy     bool
    lastSeen    time.Time
    retryCount  int
    maxRetries  int
    checkInterval time.Duration
    callbacks   DeviceCallbacks
}

type DeviceCallbacks struct {
    OnHealthy   func(deviceName string)
    OnUnhealthy func(deviceName string, err error)
    OnReconnect func(deviceName string)
}

func NewDeviceMonitor(c *client.Client, name string) *DeviceMonitor {
    return &DeviceMonitor{
        client:        c,
        deviceName:    name,
        maxRetries:    3,
        checkInterval: 30 * time.Second,
    }
}

func (dm *DeviceMonitor) Start(ctx context.Context) {
    ticker := time.NewTicker(dm.checkInterval)
    defer ticker.Stop()

    for {
        select {
        case <-ctx.Done():
            return
        case <-ticker.C:
            dm.checkHealth()
        }
    }
}

func (dm *DeviceMonitor) checkHealth() {
    err := dm.client.Ping()
    
    if err == nil {
        if !dm.healthy {
            dm.healthy = true
            dm.retryCount = 0
            dm.lastSeen = time.Now()
            if dm.callbacks.OnHealthy != nil {
                dm.callbacks.OnHealthy(dm.deviceName)
            }
            if dm.callbacks.OnReconnect != nil && dm.retryCount > 0 {
                dm.callbacks.OnReconnect(dm.deviceName)
            }
        }
        dm.lastSeen = time.Now()
        return
    }

    // Device is unhealthy
    dm.healthy = false
    dm.retryCount++
    
    if dm.callbacks.OnUnhealthy != nil {
        dm.callbacks.OnUnhealthy(dm.deviceName, err)
    }

    log.Printf("⚠️  Device %s unhealthy (attempt %d/%d): %v", 
        dm.deviceName, dm.retryCount, dm.maxRetries, err)
}

func (dm *DeviceMonitor) IsHealthy() bool {
    return dm.healthy && time.Since(dm.lastSeen) < 2*dm.checkInterval
}
```

## Playback Control

### Recipe: Smart Play/Pause Toggle

**Problem**: Implement intelligent play/pause that works regardless of current state.

```go
func smartPlayPause(c *client.Client) error {
    // Get current status
    nowPlaying, err := c.GetNowPlaying()
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("failed to get playback status: %w", err)
    }

    switch nowPlaying.PlayStatus {
    case "PLAY_STATE":
        fmt.Println("⏸️  Pausing playback...")
        return c.Pause()
    
    case "PAUSE_STATE", "STOP_STATE":
        fmt.Println("▶️  Resuming playback...")
        return c.Play()
    
    case "BUFFERING_STATE":
        fmt.Println("📡 Device is buffering, waiting...")
        // Wait a bit and try again
        time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
        return smartPlayPause(c)
    
    default:
        fmt.Printf("🤔 Unknown play status: %s, trying play...\n", nowPlaying.PlayStatus)
        return c.Play()
    }
}
```

### Recipe: Playlist Navigation with Validation

**Problem**: Navigate playlists safely with boundary checking and retry logic.

```go
type PlaylistNavigator struct {
    client      *client.Client
    maxRetries  int
    retryDelay  time.Duration
}

func NewPlaylistNavigator(c *client.Client) *PlaylistNavigator {
    return &PlaylistNavigator{
        client:     c,
        maxRetries: 3,
        retryDelay: time.Second,
    }
}

func (pn *PlaylistNavigator) NextTrack() error {
    return pn.executeWithRetry(func() error {
        return pn.client.NextTrack()
    }, "next track")
}

func (pn *PlaylistNavigator) PreviousTrack() error {
    return pn.executeWithRetry(func() error {
        return pn.client.PrevTrack()
    }, "previous track")
}

func (pn *PlaylistNavigator) executeWithRetry(operation func() error, operationName string) error {
    var lastErr error
    
    for attempt := 1; attempt <= pn.maxRetries; attempt++ {
        lastErr = operation()
        if lastErr == nil {
            return nil
        }
        
        log.Printf("⚠️  %s attempt %d failed: %v", operationName, attempt, lastErr)
        
        if attempt < pn.maxRetries {
            time.Sleep(pn.retryDelay)
        }
    }
    
    return fmt.Errorf("%s failed after %d attempts: %w", operationName, pn.maxRetries, lastErr)
}

func (pn *PlaylistNavigator) GetTrackInfo() (string, error) {
    nowPlaying, err := pn.client.GetNowPlaying()
    if err != nil {
        return "", err
    }
    
    info := "Unknown Track"
    if nowPlaying.Track != "" && nowPlaying.Artist != "" {
        info = fmt.Sprintf("%s - %s", nowPlaying.Artist, nowPlaying.Track)
    } else if nowPlaying.Track != "" {
        info = nowPlaying.Track
    } else if nowPlaying.StationName != "" {
        info = nowPlaying.StationName
    }
    
    return info, nil
}
```

## Volume Audio

### Recipe: Gradual Volume Transitions

**Problem**: Smoothly transition volume levels without jarring jumps.

```go
type VolumeController struct {
    client        *client.Client
    stepSize      int
    stepDelay     time.Duration
    maxVolume     int
    warningLevel  int
}

func NewVolumeController(c *client.Client) *VolumeController {
    return &VolumeController{
        client:       c,
        stepSize:     2,
        stepDelay:    100 * time.Millisecond,
        maxVolume:    80, // Safety limit
        warningLevel: 70,
    }
}

func (vc *VolumeController) FadeIn(targetVolume int, duration time.Duration) error {
    if targetVolume > vc.maxVolume {
        return fmt.Errorf("target volume %d exceeds safety limit %d", targetVolume, vc.maxVolume)
    }

    current, err := vc.getCurrentVolume()
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    return vc.transitionVolume(current, targetVolume, duration)
}

func (vc *VolumeController) FadeOut(duration time.Duration) error {
    current, err := vc.getCurrentVolume()
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    return vc.transitionVolume(current, 0, duration)
}

func (vc *VolumeController) transitionVolume(from, to int, duration time.Duration) error {
    if from == to {
        return nil
    }

    steps := abs(to - from)
    if steps == 0 {
        return nil
    }

    stepDuration := duration / time.Duration(steps)
    direction := 1
    if to < from {
        direction = -1
    }

    current := from
    for current != to {
        if direction > 0 && current < to {
            current = min(current+vc.stepSize, to)
        } else if direction < 0 && current > to {
            current = max(current-vc.stepSize, to)
        }

        if err := vc.client.SetVolume(current); err != nil {
            return fmt.Errorf("failed to set volume to %d: %w", current, err)
        }

        if current >= vc.warningLevel {
            fmt.Printf("⚠️  High volume warning: %d\n", current)
        }

        if current != to {
            time.Sleep(stepDuration)
        }
    }

    return nil
}

func (vc *VolumeController) getCurrentVolume() (int, error) {
    volume, err := vc.client.GetVolume()
    if err != nil {
        return 0, err
    }
    return volume.TargetVolume, nil
}

// Helper functions
func abs(x int) int {
    if x < 0 { return -x }
    return x
}

func min(a, b int) int {
    if a < b { return a }
    return b
}

func max(a, b int) int {
    if a > b { return a }
    return b
}
```

### Recipe: Audio Profile Management

**Problem**: Save and restore audio settings for different scenarios.

```go
type AudioProfile struct {
    Name     string `json:"name"`
    Volume   int    `json:"volume"`
    Bass     int    `json:"bass"`
    Balance  int    `json:"balance"`
    Source   string `json:"source,omitempty"`

type ProfileManager struct {
    client   *client.Client
    profiles map[string]AudioProfile
}

func NewProfileManager(c *client.Client) *ProfileManager {
    return &ProfileManager{
        client:   c,
        profiles: make(map[string]AudioProfile),
    }
}

func (pm *ProfileManager) CreateProfile(name string) error {
    // Get current settings
    volume, err := pm.client.GetVolume()
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("failed to get volume: %w", err)
    }

    bass, err := pm.client.GetBass()
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("failed to get bass: %w", err)
    }

    balance, err := pm.client.GetBalance()
    if err != nil {

    }

    nowPlaying, err := pm.client.GetNowPlaying()
    source := ""
    if err == nil {
        source = nowPlaying.Source
    }

    profile := AudioProfile{
        Name:    name,
        Volume:  volume.TargetVolume,
        Bass:    bass.TargetBass,
        Balance: balance.TargetBalance,
        Source:  source,
    }

    pm.profiles[name] = profile
    fmt.Printf("✅ Profile '%s' saved: Vol=%d, Bass=%d, Balance=%d\n", 
        name, profile.Volume, profile.Bass, profile.Balance)

    return nil
}

func (pm *ProfileManager) ApplyProfile(name string) error {
    profile, exists := pm.profiles[name]
    if !exists {
        return fmt.Errorf("profile '%s' not found", name)
    }

    fmt.Printf("🎛️  Applying profile '%s'...\n", name)

    // Apply settings in order
    if err := pm.client.SetVolume(profile.Volume); err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("failed to set volume: %w", err)
    }

    if err := pm.client.SetBassSafe(profile.Bass); err != nil {
        log.Printf("Warning: failed to set bass: %v", err)
    }

    if err := pm.client.SetBalanceSafe(profile.Balance); err != nil {
        log.Printf("Warning: failed to set balance: %v", err)
    }

    if profile.Source != "" {
        if err := pm.client.SelectSource(profile.Source, ""); err != nil {
            log.Printf("Warning: failed to select source %s: %v", profile.Source, err)
        }
    }

    fmt.Printf("✅ Profile '%s' applied successfully\n", name)
    return nil
}

func (pm *ProfileManager) ListProfiles() []string {
    var names []string
    for name := range pm.profiles {
        names = append(names, name)
    }
    return names

        Bass:    -1,
        Balance: 0,
    }

    fmt.Println("✅ Default profiles created: movie, music, night")
}
```

## Real-time Monitoring

### Recipe: Event-Driven State Manager

**Problem**: Keep track of device state changes and trigger actions based on events.

```go
type StateManager struct {
    client      *client.Client

func (sm *StateManager) notifySubscribers(oldState, newState DeviceState) {
    sm.mutex.RLock()
    subscribers := make([]StateSubscriber, len(sm.subscribers))
    copy(subscribers, sm.subscribers)
    sm.mutex.RUnlock()

    for _, subscriber := range subscribers {
        go subscriber.OnStateChange(oldState, newState)

## Error Handling

### Recipe: Resilient Operation Wrapper

**Problem**: Handle network issues, temporary failures, and device state conflicts gracefully.

```go
type ResilientClient struct {
    client       *client.Client
    maxRetries   int
    baseDelay    time.Duration
    maxDelay     time.Duration
    backoffRate  float64
}

        baseDelay:   time.Second,
        maxDelay:    10 * time.Second,
        backoffRate: 2.0,
    }
}

func (rc *ResilientClient) ExecuteWithRetry(operation func() error, operationName string) error {
    var lastErr error
    delay := rc.baseDelay

    for attempt := 1; attempt <= rc.maxRetries; attempt++ {
        lastErr = operation()
        if lastErr == nil {
            if attempt > 1 {
                log.Printf("✅ %s succeeded on attempt %d", operationName, attempt)
            }
            return nil
        }

        if !rc.isRetryableError(lastErr) {
            return fmt.Errorf("%s failed (non-retryable): %w", operationName, lastErr)
        }

        log.Printf("⚠️  %s attempt %d/%d failed: %v", operationName, attempt, rc.maxRetries, lastErr)

        if attempt < rc.maxRetries {
            log.Printf("🔄 Retrying in %v...", delay)
            time.Sleep(delay)
            delay = time.Duration(float64(delay) * rc.backoffRate)
            if delay > rc.maxDelay {
                delay = rc.maxDelay
            }
        }
    }

    return fmt.Errorf("%s failed after %d attempts: %w", operationName, rc.maxRetries, lastErr)
}

    errStr := err.Error()
    
    // Network-related errors
    retryablePatterns := []string{
        "connection refused",
        "timeout",
        "temporary failure",
        "network is unreachable",
        "no such host",
        "connection reset",
        "500", // Server errors
        "502", // Bad gateway
        "503", // Service unavailable
    }

    for _, pattern := range retryablePatterns {
        if strings.Contains(strings.ToLower(errStr), pattern) {
            return true
        }
    }

    return false
}

// Wrapper methods with automatic retry
func (rc *ResilientClient) SetVolume(level int) error {
    return rc.ExecuteWithRetry(func() error {
        return rc.client.SetVolume(level)
    }, "SetVolume")
}

func (rc *ResilientClient) Play() error {
    return rc.ExecuteWithRetry(func() error {
        return rc.client.Play()
    }, "Play")
}

    return rc.ExecuteWithRetry(func() error {
        return rc.client.SelectSource(source, account)
    }, "SelectSource")
}
```

## Performance Optimization

### Recipe: Connection Pool Manager

**Problem**: Efficiently manage connections to multiple devices without resource waste.

```go

    cp.mutex.Unlock()

    return newClient
}

func (cp *ConnectionPool) cleanupLoop() {
    for {

            cp.cleanupIdleConnections()
        case <-cp.stopChan:
            return

    defer cp.mutex.Unlock()

    now := time.Now()
    var toDelete []string

    for key, lastUsed := range cp.lastUsed {
        if now.Sub(lastUsed) > cp.timeout {
            toDelete = append(toDelete, key)
        }
    }

    for _, key := range toDelete {
        delete(cp.clients, key)
        delete(cp.lastUsed, key)
        log.Printf("🗑️  Cleaned up idle connection: %s", key)
    }
}

func (cp *ConnectionPool) Close() {
    close(cp.stopChan)
    cp.cleanup.Stop()
    
    cp.mutex.Lock()
    defer cp.mutex.Unlock()

    active = 0
    idle = 0
    
    for _, lastUsed := range cp.lastUsed {
        if now.Sub(lastUsed) < time.Minute {
            active++
        } else {

        }
    }
    
    return
