I am using the sonos app on an Iphone with out the Apple Home application and the room names change randomly to different names. Any suggestoins?
I own 12 Sonos products in my system and love the hardware. The interface, however, is lacking. There are three tv sound bars including ann arc, arc ultra, and play bar. They work fine as soundbars driven by the optical cable on my tv’s. But since the app update some time ago, none of the other items work. It’s all software issues, but without a,way to use the speakers, what’s the point? It may be time to rethink my approach to audio in my home. RIP Sonos.
I have a new projector that uses the Google TV Stick and it’s Google Home services. Is it possible to connect my Sonos devices to the projector? I know I can connect one through Bluetooth, but I would like to connect the Google Home/TV Stick to the Sonos App so I can use my Sonos system. Does anyone know how to do this?
Hi,I am programming an Extron control processor with touch screen in order to control my Sonos Connect. Most of the functions are easy to implement, but I would like to learn more about queues, next in queue and how to make that visible on the touch screen.I am using Extron IPCP Pro250 processor with Sono_42_3829_v1_1_2 driver obtained from the Extron Device Driver Library. Thanks JJ
Sonos can support many third party smart home environments by supporting the Wyoming Protocol. This would allow Sonos products to act as the microphone/speaker for wake words and more for the most popular open source smart home ecosystem: Home Assistant. Other smart home ecosystems could also then add support for Sonos.There are not currently many good wifi connected speaker/microphones and Sonos would be de-facto the best in class product in this area. I imagine many people looking to automate their homes would purchase your products to use as their home assistant interfaces as there seems like only 1 other alternative available at the moment: ESP32-S3-BOX (which is not very good)
I have my own app working and can access some upnp services. Can play, pause, adjust volume so far. But the zonegrouptopology return method not allowed. Tried both post and get. Also having same issue with browse. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi. I have a project that involve some mods. I want to use a old radio cabinet, take out all of the components and install a sonos One speaker. But I want the lights in the cabinet to be activated when I choose the speaker. Is there anyone that know if thats possible?
Hi,I receive an incomplete list of Favorites with the Sonos API “getFavorites”-command.Concretely, playlists from Amazon Music which I added to Favorites in the app are missing while playlists from Spotify added in the same way are returned by the API.In the Sonos app both are listed next to each other. By using the http-API I get both types of playlists, but Amazon Music playlists are of type “shortcut” and Spotify playlists of type “instantPlay”. (see also other post) Does this ring a bell for anyone? Thanks very much in advance!Best regards,Philip
Hi,I am using the local API via a module in the home automation system Symcon (in my understanding not relevant for the question) and experience an unexpected behaviour for Amazon Music playlist Sonos favorites.Adding the Sonos favorites for Amazon Music and e.g. Spotify playlists in the Sonos app in the same way leads to different results when browsing the ContentDirectoryService for Sonos favorites(FV:2).For Spotify playlist the “res” element is delivered so that the playlist can be played via the API.For Amazon Music playlists the “res” element is returned empty, therefore no possibility to initiate the playback.Additional difference is that the Amazon Music playlists are listed with r:type “shortcut”, while the Spotify playlists are listed as r:type “instantPlay”.Via the Sonos App both type of playlists look and behave in the same way.Does someone have an idea what could be the reason for the different behaviour and what I can do to get the Amazon Music playlists working?Thanks ver
Trying to connect Amp to Apple HomeKit. HomeKit no longer allows you to add an accessory that isn’t discoverable. It use to give you a list of gives compatible devices where you would find the Sonos products. You now need a manufacturer “Setup Code”. What is this code for Sonos and where can I find it?
I’m looking to enhance my smart home setup by integrating my Sonos speakers with other smart devices. What are the best methods or tools for achieving seamless automation between Sonos and various smart home systems? Any tips on compatibility, configuration, or specific devices that work particularly well with Sonos would be greatly appreciated!
i want to listen to my own Music downloaded on Music app on my iPhone. and I want to hear it from my loudspeakers set up to my Sonos Connect. Once that was possible but Sonos closed that. can you make that possible again ?
Sonos customer service tried to help me today (for crappy app problems with the speaker!). Now two of our other smart devices won’t connect to our Network. Does anyone gave a guess of what the Sonos rep might have done, so i can undo it?
Hi, since Denon managed to adopt Siri to their speakers, while using at least one homepod in the system, are you also planning to catch up? Thanks in advance, Thomas
No puedo conectar mi somos arc con HomeKit, al intentarlo sale un mensaje de que AirPlay no pudo conectar. Que compruebe que mi iPhone esté conectado a la wifi. Está todo correcto pero es imposible hacer que se conecte Sonos Arc. Desde Apple me han dicho que todo está bien y que el problema es de Sonos arc.Alguien puede ayudarme y darme una solución? Gracias. Moderator Note - Translation by Google:I can't connect my Somos Arc with HomeKit, when I try I get a message that AirPlay couldn't connect. Make sure my iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi. Everything is correct but it is impossible to get the Sonos Arc to connect. From Apple they have told me that everything is fine and that the problem is with Sonos arc.Can someone help me and give me a solution? Thank you.
I have a ZP100 (very retro I know) 🤣 which is in a standard Alexa Group (NOT a speaker Group) with an Alexa Echo deviceIt’s set up WIRELESSLY to play all music through the external speakers connected to the ZP100 rather than the Echo.So Alexa’s spoken responses to any questions we have are routed through the Echo which is as I expectIf our request is radio/Sonos related the resulting music is played through ZP100 and external speaker again as expected.If we issue a voice command to the Echo while the ZP100 is actively playing “Ducking” occurs for the duration of the interaction again as expected, so far so good!The one thing that is puzzling me is that when our Ring Doorbell is triggered the alert on the Echo plays the “Someone's at the Door” alert that we’ve set up but no ducking occurs on the ZP100 which makes the option to “Answer Front door” voice command that we may choose to issue just a little more complicated because of the background noise from the unducked ZP100 To get aroun
I have a new Homey Pro I can not get it to pair with Sonos. Do I need a hub or some other item to connect? any help will be appreciated. I am a novice it this.
I live in Italy and here Android users are much more that the Android users that are in the USA…Personally all my family have an Android device, like Google Pixels, and all the house have integration with Google Assistant and Google Home. We are a Google Family.We bought a Sonos Move for have a portable speaker with a gorgeous sound, and I can confirm that it have, but we hear the lack of the Google Chromecast built-in integration.In fact the Chromecast built-in feature is a great opportunity for Sonos, we think, because in this way Sonos Speakers can appear in Media controls of Google Home and so can be controlled by all the people that live in the house. Also Chromecast built-in have plenty of integration with some services that made things really easy.So, we decide that for now Sonos for us it can be only the Sonos Move or the Sonos Roam that have also the Bluetooth, because we need it for limiting the lack of the Chromecast built-in functionality. But we appreciate that in the futu
