Violet Smartswitch Lite - reviewed and tested - Sonos and Hue control at the wall (UK/EU)

Wasn’t sure if this would be of interest to anyone, but I recently had a chance to play with and review a VIolet Smartswitch Lite. It’s given me Sonos control at the wall switch as well as Philips Hue control. I’m looking forward to Http requests because then I can wire it into node-red and home-assistant, but if anyone’s interested in my write up it’s below:https://www.thesmarthomebook.com/2021/11/10/violet-smartswitch-lite-review-set-up/

Stream to Sonos speaker group from Google Home

I use a Nest Hub to play music on one of my Sonos speakers. I have three speakers on my main floor. I cannot seem to get the the Nest Hub, which uses Google Home, to play on more than one speaker at at time. That forces me to open my phone and then add the other two speakers to the playing speaker. Is there anyway to fix this?

Music stops when Ring camera motion detection is triggered

I have about 12 Sonos speakers - and all of them are connected to SonosNet - except for my Move (which must use Wi-Fi).  Whenever I play music - even if I’m not using the Move - as soon as motion is detected on my Ring cameras, the music will stop and I have to manually press play.  Most of the solutions I read here were to ensure at least one speaker was hard-wired to router (4 of my speakers are) and rebooting each speaker so that it joins SonosNet.  And that’s what I’ve done.  Still no luck.  Any ideas?

Added Sonos to HomeKit, but audio still coming through Home Pod

I have a Sonos Beam along with sub and surrounds. I had long been frustrated that I couldn’t default my Apple TV to play through my Sonos system. It would default to television speakers, which do run through my Sonos system, but not the optimized sound. I could select the speakers through temporary audio, but I had to keep going back and re-selecting it. Finally, I was told I could add my Sonos to Home Kit. So I added it to my Living Room room, and boom… when “Living Room” was set as default speakers, I was getting the full-on Sonos perfect audio. Well, my son happened to notice the light on the HomePod staying on and unplugged it. I realized this when I suddenly had no audio!Well, I plugged it back in, and since then, if “Living Room” is my default audio output, it goes through the Home Pod itself. I tried removing the Sonos system and re-adding to Home Kit, but no luck. It still defaults to the measly little Home Pod, leaving me to change default to TV speakers and then switch tempor

Older Sonos Devices in Homekit

I’ve read online that older Sonos devices (without Airplay2) will not appear appear in Homekit.  However, once you add a single Airplay2 compatible Sonos device, it will act as a bridge, enabling all Sonos devices to appear in Homekit.I have a house full of older Sonos devices that don’t support Airplay2 (but all are S2 compatible).  And then I have two devices that DO support Airplay2 - a Sonos Move, and an Ikea Symfonisk.  The Move and the Symfonisk appear in Homekit, but none of the legacy devices are there, which contradicts what I’m reading online.Hoping someone here can tell me if what I’ve read is incorrect, or if something is wrong with my setup.Thanks

How to queue a Spotify track though API?

Hello, I`ve build an integration for Sonos for my own voice controlled smart home system.I`ve used the Control API for that… now I would like to queue tracks / playlists from Spotify. Can anyone give me a hint how to do that…? I`ve already setup a Spotify integration, that enables me to search Spotify and get tthe item-id etc. But how can I queue those tracks from Spotify to my Sonos player? Thanks Carl

Does Beam gen 2 support Apple HomeKit?

Playing Radio on Sonos with Siri

Hi, For those of you who are looking to try and control Sonos from Siri I thought I’d stick up how I managed to do it with help from a couple of articles that this one simply glues together. I wanted to play a radio station without having to click on anything so I did the following. This assumes you have set up the radio station you want to play as a favourite. Go to IFTTT.com and set up a user. Create an applet with a Webhook and name it something like play_radio_station_name - just remember what you called it. Then for the ‘Then’ bit select Sonos log in and select Play Favourite. Select the radio station and where you want it to play. Save and name your applet. Now from the home screen click into your Applet and click on the web hooks logo. Then click ‘Documentation’. Enter into the URL where is says event your name from step 2. Down below where it has the CURL - copy everything from https to the end of the request. This will include your applet trigger name and your private key. Now

Google Home and Sonos No Longer Playing Together

I have had nothing but problems with using Google Home and Sonos since Google lost to Sonos in court the beginning of this year.  I can’t get my sonos speakers to properly respond to voice commands given to google home.  I can get the sonos speakers to work using the touch screen which is not very convenient.  On one of my google home max devices it will adjust the sonos tv speaker volume when I ask google to adjust the volume on the home device.  I have used them together for nearly two years and it is quite frustrating.  I have tried everything - disconnecting, resetting, uninstalling, reinstalling, swearing, praying, medication, etc and nothing works.  Anybody having luck fixing these problems.

How do I revoke Smartthings access to Sonos?

I have been on the phone with Sonos support and Samsung support in order to deauthorize a connection I made from Samsung Smartthings to Sonos. It seems that Smartthings keeps the authorizations even after deleting all the speakers from Smartthings. This means that if you connect to one Sonos account you are stuck with it forever.There are no options from the Smartthings side to reset the connection, and there is not indication of this relationship from the Sonos side. I am trying to avoid creating a new smartthings account.. is there are way forward?

Speak Text & Resume within API

Maybe I’m wrong here, but seems year ago the Sonos API had a “Speak Text and Resume” option, so back then in my SmartThings days, I could have Sonos speak a TTS alert and then it’d continue playing music where it left off. I’m now on Hubitat, but I believe this feature has gone away altogether. Am I wrong about that?Is there any way to get Sonos to resume playing a song after it’s interrupted by a TTS request?

Control Sonos with HomePod Mini

Hi,My setup is as follows:1 x Sonos One in “Bathroom”1 x Sonos One in “Bedroom”1 x Sonos One in “Nursery Room”1 x Sonos One in the “Office”1 x Sonos ARC, Sonos SUB (3rd Gen) and 2 x Sonos SL in the “Living Room”, where I have my TV, which also has an Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen) plugged in to it. All rooms have Philips Hue lights as well. The name of the rooms are set up as stated in the quotation marks. Up until now, I have used Google Assistant to send voice commands and it has been working OK, with the exception of not being able to control my Apple TV with it, obviously. I just got a HomePod Mini as a present, which I have placed in the Living Room, same place and want to be able to use it as a voice command interface, to for example, “Hey Siri, play music in Living Room” or “Hey Siri, play music in Bathroom”. What happens is, Siri plays music on the HomePod Mini instead of the actual speakers in the rooms mentioned. I am able to control the lights with Siri in specific rooms, but music i

Is is possible to cast from Deezer on the Sonos One using the Google Cast function

Hi everyone, I’m considering buying a Sonos One, but before I want to be sure that I would be able to use it without any issues. I would like to control it using the cast feature of Google. I saw on the internet that I can embed the Sonos One in the Google Home app, will it mean that the cast feature will work ? Here is a screenshot of the cast feature. I’m not talking about using the Chromecast (with android TV and the HDMI Port), but only the cast feature to use deezer without the sonos app. Cast from deezerI hope you can help me with my question, and I hope that some of you found a way to use the cast feature !Thanks in advance,

Integrating Sonos and Apple HomePod-Minis

Hi Guys. Firstly, I tried to get this problem answered by Apple, but get nothing but the runaround from their support. While this appears to be a Home App issue, maybe one of the more technical people can help as it is also Sonos-related. I have a mix of HomePod Minis and Sonos Airplay-2 speakers scattered throughout the house. Some rooms only have HomePods, some rooms have only Sonos and some contain both. I want the ability to create a group that I can reference as a single entity and contains only the devices I select - for example, when I play music in a room that contains both Sonos and HomePod Mini, I only want the Sonos to play. Hence the need to be able to chose and pick which speakers are in the 'group'. (The HomePod’s are primarily deployed to provide intercom functionality, speakers in places where a Sonos speaker would be overkill, such as the two garages, and provide voice commands for other Homekit accessories.) I believe the Home app used to have the ability to create gr

Changing input on Amp

I have a Sonos Amp connected to a turntable. Sonos One in kitchen. Primary purpose of getting the system was for the ability to listen to records in both spaces. The nice thing is, busy cooking and record ends, quick voice command to go to Spotify playlist.However, I can't seem to find a voice command to change it back to the line in for source when I want to go back to play a record. Is the only way to change via the app? HUGE flaw in the system if so and should be a developer priority. Quick search shows topics looking for this for over four years.  May even consider returning and building a traditional multiroom system instead.

Controlling Sonos with Google mini

Can I use Google mini to control my Sonos PLAY 1 speaker?  I’ve followed all instructions, downloaded the apps, etc but can’t seem to figure it out.  Is there a special command after Ok/Hey Google to have it turn on my Sonos speaker so that it plays the local radio station it’s set on?
