Question
How to turn OFF Sonos
Currently have a Yamaha RX-V665 powering a 5-channel surround system in the MAIN room, and 3 pairs of speakers (with impedance-matching volume sliders) on the receiver's Zone2 speaker outputs. Plan to add a Sonos ZP80 as input source to the receiver.
So playing music from Sonos involves turning on the receiver and setting it to input Sonos (one button on programmable universal remote, no problem there,) then using the Sonos app (or CR100 controller) to select & play music. OK all's well.
It's when we go turn things OFF that I'm at a loss. If one simply turns off the main receiver (ALL OFF on the remote,) of course the sound stops, but the Sonos is still streaming music (using bandwidth) unless one explicitly remembers to stop it from the app/controller.
One thought I have is to use an automatic power switch to power ON the Sonos when the receiver is powered on, and power down when the receiver goes off. But the delay at startup may be an issue...
Another thought is to set up a Raspberry Pi with an IR sensor to receive a signal from the IR remote and send the appropriate command to the Sonos over the network, but that seems like an overly complex solution to what should be a simple problem...
I can;t be the first person to run into this issue. How do you experts out there address this integration? TIA for any other suggestions from those that have used/lived with this sort of setup.
