SONOS app

[FatMax]

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.
