Question

How do I set an alarm to play one of my Deezer playlists?

Hi 

I'm thinking of using my Sonos speakers in my bedroom to replace an old stereo / Wiim Mini combo.

In order to do that I need the alarm functionality. 

Playing around it just now, I'm unable to set my "Wake Up" Deezer playlist to be the music. I can select the generic Deezer playlists but not my own.

Any ideas on how I could overcome this?

Save the Deezer playlist as a Sonos playlist and use that.

Thanks. That works. I'll need to re-sync it though each time I add songs to it though.

If the playlist is not showing in the music picker for alarms, it is a bug in the Deezer SMAPI implementation. They are incorrectly blocking it. https://docs.sonos.com/docs/add-capabilities

Thanks. So I guess I need to raise a support request with Deezer, right?

Good luck… 🙈

I cross my fingers that they understand your problem at all. I really like and use Deezer but their Sonos Integration could be improved.
