I have 7 in ceiling speakers in my theater room connected to my receiver. When i want to play my streaming music with my SONOS App, i need to turn the receiver on and switch it to the correct output in order to use the App on my phone.

 

What option do i have regarding playing my speakers with my mobile app without having to manually turning on receiver?

@Giocath,
I don’t see how you will be able to play anything to your ceiling speakers without your Receiver/Amp being powered on first?

Are you looking to automate powering on the Receiver and selecting an input source - if so does the Receiver have its own remote, or App, or does it support “Works with Sonos”?

There are some Receivers that have the “Works with Sonos” badge and integrate with Sonos Connect/Port, but I’ve not used them personally, but there are YouTube videos that describe how they work.

Here’s two such examples (of many):

I’m sorry if the above does not answer your question, but I did find what you were asking here, a little confusing🤔?
