SONOS app

[Daniel]

Do you use Mosaic? If no just create a floor and a room in it, also make sure it is a latest version.

Hi

Here is how to use new Sonos app via script:

The app runs a daemon which keeps communication with each player/group The daemon will be closed down after 120s if no update is send so we need to run such script every 60s to keep communication up and running.

Code:

require('custom.sonos.lib')

groupID=sonos_app.GetStoragePlayerGroups()
for k, v in pairs(groupID) do
   sonos_app.SendApiActionCommand(k, 'watchPlayerGroup', os.time())
end

To control the players we need to know groupID which can be read via such command.

Code:

groupID=sonos_app.GetStoragePlayerGroups()

Basic control is done like this

Code:

-- simle command: play, pause, skipToPrev, skipToNext
sonos_app.SendApiActionCommand(url_group_id, 'play')

Code:

-- set volume
sonos_app.SendApiActionCommand(url_group_id, 'setVolume', 50)

The url_group_id is in the table from the groupID but it can be read automatically when we know group name so example start/pause script would looks like that.

Code:

require('custom.sonos.lib')

groupName='Kitchen'

-------------------------------------------------------------
groupID=sonos_app.GetStoragePlayerGroups()
for k, v in pairs(sonos_app.GetStoragePlayerGroups()) do
  if groupID[k].groupName == groupName then
  groupID=k 
    break
  end
end
-------------------------------------------------------------

value = event.getvalue()
if value then
    sonos_app.SendApiActionCommand(groupID, 'play')
else
  sonos_app.SendApiActionCommand(groupID, 'pause')
end

To read Playlist table use this

Code:

sonos_app.GetStoragePlayerGroupData(groupID, 'Playlists')

To Play a playlist

Code:

-- play playlist by ID
sonos_app.SendApiActionCommand(url_group_id, 'playPlaylist', playlist_id)

playlist_id looks like a number but it is a string!

To read Favorites use

Code:

sonos_app.GetStoragePlayerGroupData(groupID, 'Favorites')

To play a Favorites

Code:

sonos_app.SendApiActionCommand(url_groupID, 'playFavorite', url_favID)

Are there more functions then what is listed here? Specifically I would like to group and ungroup players via script.

In the app is there a way of changing the banner an icon colours from green to another colour, also is it possible to remove the close button?

[mariosp]

Did you try the play/pause script?

[mariosp]

Did you try the play/pause script?

Yes also doesnt work 
But it works from the wighet

[Daniel]

Did you fallow the instructions and created first script in this post?

Did you fallow the instructions and created first script in this post?

Yes i have made a resident script every 60 sec

If you have this script working then first try basic play/pause
Create a bit object and then event script on it.  use this script and change Bedroom to your group name, you can see it in Sonos app on the bottom. 
 

Code:

require('custom.sonos.lib')

groupName='Bedroom'

-------------------------------------------------------------
groupID=sonos_app.GetStoragePlayerGroups()
for k, v in pairs(sonos_app.GetStoragePlayerGroups()) do
  if groupID[k].groupName == groupName then
  groupID=k
    break
  end
end
-------------------------------------------------------------

value = event.getvalue()
if value then
    sonos_app.SendApiActionCommand(groupID, 'play')
else
  sonos_app.SendApiActionCommand(groupID, 'pause')
end
