Apple Shortcuts app Sonos music selection options

Has anyone fiddled with the Apple Shortcuts automations for Sonos?  I created an automation to play every Sonos Room.  I know I could have just said “Hey Sonos. Play Everywhere”, but using that option plays the Rooms at whatever volume they were last set at.  The beauty using the Apple Shortcuts app is you can preset a volume for each room.  Unfortunately when I looked at what music can be played the choices were only radio stations in the Favorites list.  Has anyone been able to access Sonos Playlists as well as Radio stations?

Not sure if this makes a difference but I don’t have Siri enabled on the iPad.

Interesting. And confirmed, it doesn’t appear on my iPad either. I also have Siri disabled, if that makes a difference. 
 

Here is a screencap, showing ‘All shortcuts’ and where I think Sonos should be (although ecobee shows up non-alphabetically. Maybe because it’s not capitalized?

 Does Sonos pop up when you search when building a new Shortcut?

It does indeed. Most curious.
