Hello All,

 

I’m a little surprised this hasn’t appeared to come up.

I have a Sonos Port connected to my AudioLab Stereo Amplifier. I use the 12v trigger to turn on but I’m also looking for a way to control volume on my AudioLab using the Sonos app. Ability to select the proper input (Dig2) would be a bonus and nice to have. I envision this making use of some external device that can read the Sonos commands and output via an IR blaster. 
 

I tried building an Arduino based interface box that almost worked but my limited programming knowledge and time prevented success. I looked at something like a Harmony, but with that being ended by Logitech it seems like a waste of efforts. Plus I’d really like to use the Sonos app primarily. I don’t necessarily want a smart home interface just for this one function. It seems a waste and semi costly. 
 

I’m open to any thoughts or solutions. 
 

Thank you.

If you set the Port’s output to variable volume you can change that, it will be based on your Amp’s volume settings.

For the Amp’s volume, look for a remote control app that runs on your phone/tablet.

Hi Stanley,

 

Yes. This was an option I considered but as I use my TT and Port about 50/50 I was trying to find a solution that wouldn’t leave me having to adapt volume settings on two different devices/apps. I played around with this a little but it just became too fussy. I was hoping for a way to make use of the “pass through” function that could universally control any amplifier by way of infrared. 
 

I think I may have to accept that the likelihood of this is far from reasonably feasible. 
 

Thanks for your input on this.
