A touchscreen controller for Sonos, using a Hyperpixel 4” touch LCD display and a Raspberry Pi Zero WH.
Using https://github.com/maru-sama/sonoscontroller. Pi configuration based on http://www.weigu.lu/sb-computer/pitoucon/index.html, with mods for touch rotation.
Provides a full-time desktop display of what’s currently playing, along with basic control.
+20Quick test at Python cmd prompt:
>>> from soco.discovery import by_name
>>> zone = by_name("Office")
>>> zone
SoCo("192.168.68.128")
>>>
So, looks good.
Note that there are corner cases where this form of discovery can fail -- for example, if you have multiple Sonos systems on the same network (e.g., split S1/S2) you’ll probably get failures some of the time.
If you do hit problems, use the following instead:
zone = by_name(“Office”, allow_network_scan=True, scan_timeout=1.0)
(Alternatively, one can lift it up a level of abstraction and use SoCo-CLI instead:
>>> from soco_cli.api import get_soco_object
>>> zone, err = get_soco_object("Office")
>>> zone
SoCo("192.168.68.128")
The SoCo-CLI call will use all possible discovery mechanisms. See https://github.com/avantrec/soco-cli#using-soco-cli-as-a-python-library for more details.)
