Because we have it on a bedroom, we'll use the sleep timer every time:

My wife ordered a chance to remember the last timer, so Next time I put music on play, it's on. Our sleep timer is set up in 30 minutes. Every night we'll set it again. It could be that he remembers the situation last and change when I change. I guess it's not all like that so. Maybe add a slider - ‘Remember my last sleep timer’. And then every time I put the music playing, it automatically started. What do you think of such thought?

      The Python code I use, make a copy of this as it works… at the moment.


      basically “import soco” discovers your Sonos devices. The one I control is called Master Bedroom which matches the name within Sonos.

      it then plays, so the paused playlist resumes.

      it then sends a sleep commend for 3600 seconds, which is one hour, but could be any value.

       

      As I use the sleep command, the music fades out but Sonos pauses the playlist without resetting the playlist back to the start as would happen with using a stop command.


       

      import soco

      def get_speaker(name):
          for speaker in soco.discover():
              if speaker.player_name == name:
                  return speaker

      sonos = get_speaker("Master Bedroom")

      sonos.play()
      sonos.set_sleep_timer(3600)
