ioBroker.sonos

Control and monitor SONOS devices with ioBroker.

Handling of groups

• States for handling SONOS groups:
  • coordinator: set/get the coordinator, so the SONOS device which is the master and coordinating the group. It requires the IP address (channel name) of the SONOS device to be the coordinator, but with underscore _ instead of dot ., so use for example 192_168_0_100 for IP address 192.168.0.100. If the device does not belong to any group, then the value is equal to the own channel name (IP).
  • group_volume: the volume of the group
  • group_muted: mute status of the group.
  • add_to_group: Add a certain SONOS device to the SONOS device under which this state is. Use IP address with underscores (see above).
  • remove_from_group: Remove a certain SONOS device from the SONOS device under which this state is. Use IP address with underscores (see above).

*) These states will be updated if changes are made in the SONOS app.

Using it with the sayIt adapter

To use the sayit adapter with this SONOS adapter, ensure that the web adapter is instantiated and running too. The web adapter is required to allow the SONOS adapter to read the generated MP3 file from the sayit adapter.

Warning: Stability problems in combination with sayIt adapter

Please note: This SONOS adapter has stability issues if using 'text to speech' with the sayIt adapter. Symptoms observed:

1. Arbitrary change of volume to 0 or 100 %.
2. No response after a random number of text to speech sequences

Workaround for text to speech is to use the SONOS HTTP API.

Favorites & Queue in VIS

Use states favorites_list_html and queue_html to show playlists and current queue with basic html widget in VIS. By clicking on a row, the playlist or track will be played immediately. Format the table with the following css classes:

Favorites

• sonosFavoriteTable: hole favorite table
• sonosFavoriteRow: rows with favorite information
• sonosFavoriteNumber: Number of favorites
• sonosFavoriteCover: Album art of favorite (grab image with .sonosFavoriteCover img)
• sonosFavoriteTitle: Name of favorite

Queue

• .sonosQueueTable: hole table
• .sonosQueueRow: rows containing track information
• .currentTrack: added to the row containg the current playing track
• .sonosQueueTrackNumber: Number or track
• .sonosQueueTrackCover: Album art of track (grab image with .sonosQueueTrackCover img)
• .sonosQueueTrackArtist: Name of artist
• .sonosQueueTrackAlbum: Name of album (use display:noneif not needed)
• .sonosQueueTrackTitle: Name of title

For long lists add overflow:auto; or overflow-y:auto; to basic html widget. Please note: highlighting current playing favorite is not supported.

Sample CSS

.sonosFavoriteTable {
    color: #bbb;
    font-size: 12px;
}
.sonosFavoriteRow {
    cursor: pointer;
}
.sonosFavoriteNumber {}
.sonosFavoriteCover img {
    width: 30px;
    height: 30px;
}
.sonosFavoriteTitle {}

.sonosQueueTable {
    color: #bbb;
    font-size: 12px;
}
.sonosQueueRow {
    display: table-row;
    cursor: pointer;
}
.sonosQueueRow.currentTrack {
    color: #fff;
    font-weight: bold;
}
.sonosQueueTrackNumber {}
.sonosQueueTrackCover img {
    width: 30px;
    height: 30px;
    display: table-column;
}
