IFTTT - If This Then That integration with Sonos

If-This-Then-That (IFTTT) integration could be cool. You could expose playlists to IFTTT as either triggers and/or actions. Use cases could be when a certain playlist is started trigger lights (via WeMo or Hue). So for lighting, a "Dinner" playlist could set a particular light pattern via Hue, or turn off some lights and dim others. You could also start a playlist when motion is detected via a WeMo motion detector, or when a switch is turned on, start a playlist. You could use a special playlist to provide a house-wide audio notifier of new emails, Facebook/Twitter/app.net mentions, or Google Calendar events.

This would be great, especially now that Nest have exposed their API to IFTTT.

Effectively, this would allow for a 'When Nest sets to 'away', turn off all Sonos devices'.

Such a time saver, and really quite cool at the same time! 🙂

And even better if something like Beddit fires an IFTTT trigger when you are at the optimal part of your sleep cycle to be woken up. This would be the dream result!

And when you get home, the music just starts up again. It would be perfect. You could also schedule music at certain times, specially since the alarm function on Sonos is limited at the moment.

I would "build" sonos into the whole house as in buy more speakers for those less frequent spaces and then use ifttt motion triggers to have music follow me.

Seriously. This would make **SO MUCH** sense. Given the huge array of random/useless services that support IFTTT, it's almost embarrassing that Sonos hasn't been able to get it done.

And not one "official" reaction from Sonos, i think IFTTT for Sonos will never be happened. 😕

I would also adopt Sonos more wholeheartedly if they released IFTTT integration for Playlists and Alarms. I know numerous other users with Nests, Wemo's, Life360 accounts who would immediately look to use presence to improve their Sonos experience. +1 for this. This is inevitable Sonos - please get cracking on IFTTT if you're not already. It has to be a commercial no-brainer for you..

I just bought 5 Sonos devices (a PlayBar, a Play 1, two Play 3s, and a Play 5), and IFTTT integration is a top request for me.

I found some IFTTT hacks for Sonos before my purchase (a deciding factor in fact), but am finding them to be a little more difficult to implement than anticipated. First party IFTTT support would be much better.

To echo the thoughts of some previous posts: NEED NEED NEED. 🙂
