Smart home integrations

I have a Sonos playbar and connect:amp apparently I can’t connect either to my Apple HomePod Mini because neither product is AirPlay compatible.  Anyone have any idea what I can do to make the speakers able to play through Siri?

Issue w/ Sonos App, I continue to have issues with the new app on my iphone. Cannot open app as it freezes and shuts off after 15 seconds. It worked for a few days and then stopped. I am trying to upgrade my Sonos system with a new ARC so I need this to start working first. Have tried everything but nothing working at all. Please advise. Thanks

I accidentally paired my Sonos system to the wrong Apple HomeKit Home. Turns out you cannot add them to another Home after that. You have to reset each speaker for it to work. Well, actually I ended up having to create an entirely new Sonos system and had to recreate everything. After a bunch of resetting I managed to bring all my speakers to the correct HomeKit Home… except my Sonos Move. It just WILL NOT add. Here’s how it goes:Turn off Sonos Move. Wait 72 hours. Yes, you cannot remove a Sonos Move from you system. You’ll just have to wait. Power on the Move while holding the connect/pair button. Wait for the light to turn orange. This will reset the Sonos Move. Add the Sonos Move to the Sonos system in the Sonos app. Open the Home.app and select Add Accessory followed by I Don’t have a Code or Cannot Scan. Select the Sonos Move. Get message saying “Unable to Add Accessory” with a subtext saying “Home couldn’t connect to this accessory.” This is the same error message I got with all

With the announcement from apple that Siri will be available on 3rd party accessories would love to see Sonos take advantage of this as a option along with Alexa and Google assistant.

I cannot seem to find anything online or through Sonos about how to airplay from the Sonos app?  Or oi that not possible?  I can airplay from something I’m playing on my phone but not from the app.  My use case is when I’m playing something and I want to play it on my home cinema speakers via apple tv.Thanks

Hi,Since yesterday most of my Sonos IFTTT applets don’t work anymore. Might be related to the upgrade from 13.0 to 13.1.Oddly my applet to set the volume to a specific default value in the morning is still working (but I can’t edit it as players are not loading).Not working:pausing a player start playing a favorite radio station on a player editing or adding an applet as I don’t see any players or favorites to selectAction failure messages I see in IFTTT are either:“Internal error (400 Error: Request failed with status code 504)” or “There was a problem running the action"I tried connecting IFTTT with the Sonos service again. That works without any problem, but doesn’t fix anything.To me it looks like there is a communication issue between Sonos and IFTTT backend systems.Anyone else seeing this? Or is everything working for you guys?fok

Hi,I hope someone can help me!I have a Harmony Elite and Companion, each with their own hubs. Both have been set up and working until about 10 days ago. Each one is set up in a different room, but in both rooms they are controlling a Sky box, Samsung TV and Sonos Arc with Sub & surrounds.The Companion is still working fine, but 10 days ago the Elite stopped controlling the volume on the Sonos Arc it was connected to.After a bit of investigation, when I look for Sonos on my network using the Harmony app (as if I'm setting it up for the first time) it only finds a Sonos Move (which I have in another room). There are 8 other rooms with Sonos in and it doesn't find any of them, 11 days ago, it used to find them all.The really odd thing is if I search when using the Companion hub, it finds about half the rooms and still controls the Arc it is set up to control.I'm tearing my hair out with this, I've tried deleting the harmony Elite, resetting it to factory, powering everything off and o

Hi,I am trying to connect my Sonos to Samsung SmartThings. My system was connected to wifi and ST could not find any speaker. I then connected my ZP90 with Ethernet. The my ST system find my so is speakers, however, then I am not able to see them in my Sonos app... I have a feeling that I have tried almost everything. Do you think I need a Boost...?

I’ve been using Apple HomeKit Apple Home with Sonos for about 8 months. Home automation and controls worked great!  When I arrive home, turn on all lights and stat music everywhere.  When I want everything off it did it. Recently I’ve been unable to control Sonos in the Home app.  I just realized that when selecting the speaker it says controls are unavailable. I use an AppleTV as the home hub.  It would usually turn on (including the TV) to make these commands possible. now nothing.things I’ve triedlogging in and out of iCloudin and out of keychainremoved and added the speakerturned off 5G on my routerunplugged and plugged the speakerthis behavior is consistent with all Sonos speakers  

Hi everyone! I’ve been trying to do something but so far I’m not sure about the best solution. The best would be to solve it via IFTTT, but I think I’ll have to install HomeAutomation at my home’s server. I am playing Spotify via Sonos at home the whole day, I love it, but I miss the short hourly news bulletin from a radio station, at least when I’m working from home.The radio station I usually listen has a podcast (also available in Spotify) where they add these bulletins, here’s their RSS: https://fapi-top.prisasd.com/podcast/playser/boletines.xml I would like that when a new episode is added to that bulletin, and if Sonos is currently playing at home, the new bulletin gets added to Play Next at Sonos, so it will play after the current song, and then continues with the Spotify playlist. Any idea of what would be the best tool to solve this? So far I haven’t run any automation yet for Sonos.

I just looked at a number of posts, some as old as 2 years ago and finding out that my New Sony Smart TV with RF remote is not compatible with my new Sonos play bar. Why haven’t you guys gotten your act together to fix this problem? It seems like the majority of new TVs are now RF and your “wireless” system is not compatible. Very sad!

Hi All, I have a Sonos Beam upstairs and ARC downstairs. I have been thinking of getting A eufy wireless doorbell and I know that you can set it up so when someone rings your doorbell your Alexa device will chime. BUT sonos products apparently don’t support this strangely and a separate Alexa device would need to be purchased, which makes no sense to me when you should really get the full works in the sonos devices. I would like to request this feature to be added to the Sonos device please @Sonos   

I have an iOS shortcut that toggles my Sonos Move (starts playing music if off; stops playing music if already playing). Music is sent to the Move via Airplay over wi-fi.it works fine when testing.BUT, when used normally, the first time I run the shortcut, I get an error message that the output device cannot be reached (“Endpoint cannot be found’). If I IMMEDIATELY run the shortcut again it works fine!For some reason the Sonos is not responding to the initial request from Airplay. I thought of just pinging the device first but that is not possible from an iOS shortcut.Sonos support have no record of anyone else seeing this issue but I’m interested in the views of forum users.anyone else seen this issue? If so, do you have a solution?thanks 

I bought a One Gen 2 and integrated it to my home automation system (OpenHAB), but I can’t find a way to enable the microphone (without having to connect Alexa or google) so I can use OpenHAB’s integrated voice system.Is there any way to do it?

I have created a new applet in IFTTT. In short, it is triggered by a webhook and then it plays a favourite track on my Sonos system. It works great as long as I choose 'include all rooms' and my favorite starts playing. But when I choose 'this room only' nothing happens.  I would like to play the song on an Ikea Symfonisk, but the result is same when I try on my Sonos One or my beam  

Afternoon all. Have a reasonable size Sonos system built over time covering inside & garden on S2 now. All working a treat. Over time I’ve acquired more of these Philips Hue lights than I realised and they are rather good on the whole. I have about 15 of them in the garden I think.I’ve a need (later year - birthday event) to get the two working together.I have the Philips Hue Entertainment App installed on Win 10 PC and it talks to all the lights very happily and I can create multiple entertainment zones. But I do not know how to use Sonos as the source to get the Hue lights to do their thing i.e flash and change colour in time to the music. Probably sounds naff but looking to play the opening quiet 3 mins of The Prague Philharmonics version of Blue Danube outside with a gentle light performance before the remaining 7 mins to a professional firework display. Hey you not 60 every day and I met her in Vienna during this performance :-)I guess I could buy and configure a Port and use

As mentioned in the title, when Sonos is playing a radio station (TuneIn) my application receives no imageUrl in the metadataStatus from the Sonos cloud. In the Sonos app (iOS, Windows) an Image with the logo of the radio station is shown.This is an example of the received metadataStatus object:{"container":{"name":"Radio Paradise","type":"station","id":{"serviceId":"254","objectId":"s13606","accountId":"sn_0"},"service":{"name":"TuneIn","id":"254","images":[]},"images":[],"explicit":false},"streamInfo":"Steely Dan - Midnight Cruiser"}I wonder, how do I get an image of the currently played radio station from the Sonos Control API?  

Unfortunately just brought the Roam not realising that it was only S2 Compatible. I have £2k + of S1 parts so not going to change from S1. As I understand it the new products have a higher spec particularly memory so surely it can not be beyond Sonos ingenuity for those who need the s1 system to load products with the older system, it may not use all the memory etc but at least it works

I waited to buy Sonos until Google was integrated and invested on a Sonon One in December last year.It is crap.@Patrick Spence, your team have failed to deliver anything like what can be described as acceptable. Have they give up on the ghost? Was it just too difficult for them to work the api and integrate?Is there no experience on the team? Does creating “exciting” new thingys mean more to them that to fix a failed product?The kit does not talk to or remotely integrate with Google Speakers - something so very basic. That is what it is all about.What a total waste of money.

LMS offers some interesting features which you can use alongside the standard Sonos setup.  Using LMS requires that you install the server software on a networked device (eg. a PC running Windows, iOS, or Linux, and even some NAS) - a popular choice is the Raspbery Pi (even including the ultra-cheap Pi Zero at 20 USD).   Installing the software is a task for an average user (and is largely accomplished via a web-browser interface).  Once installed, Sonos devices are seen by LMS as squeezebox players, and have full access to all the features which the server software offers. Why might you consider this as an addition to your Sonos system?   Here are some pros:  LMS is complementary to the native Sonos setup.  You do not lose any Sonos features.  LMS is multi-platform.   Media control is also multi-platform (via web--browser access).   Apps are also available for both Android and iOS (either free or at low cost. There is no limit for local music libraries Offers access to Spotify, Qobuz,

Morning everyone,For a few years I’ve had a Sonos device in my kitchen, that has been monitored by a script on a Raspberry Pi.  If the Sonos is playing, it turns the amp on & sets the input etc.If someone turns the TV on, that overrules Sonos and sets the amp accordingly.This morning, Sonos was playing as usual - but the amp wasnt.A bit of digging and it looks like my Sonos had an update (now on S1 / 11.2.7) and the info that was used by my script  (http://w.x.y.z:1400/MediaRenderer/AVTransport/Control) is no longer available.I tried https to 1443 with the same path and that fails with the same UPnP 401 error.Is there somewhere else I can pull the current status from via a url or similar?Thanks 

Hi,I have a Sonos Play One and Philips Hue spots in the bathroom. I want to be able to autoplay a Sonos Favorite (Radio Stream) whenever the bathroom lights are switched on and of course, when lights are off the music stops.I can’t seem to find a way. I have a Hue Bridge, Google Assistants (Sonos speakers) around the house. Tried IFTTT and Yonomi with no luck.Anyone?

Hello friends,I’m trying to figure out an automation so that when I come home that I can have a Back to the Future 2 type greeting play through my living room speakers.I’ve Googled this idea but I can’t seem to find the answer to make it happen. I have only been able to get this to partially work using Yonomi. When I arrive at my house, I can get the greeting to play in the desired zone. However, I can’t seem to manage the volume and execution to time it just right. When I arrive at my geolocation, the Yonomi automation runs. The selected playlist then loops rather than just playing once. I’d also like to add a condition so that I have trigger a front door sensor in addition to my geolocation. My current home automation setup is a mix of HomeKit and Smartthings (web version). I have a Hoobs on the way for more Homekit integration of Kasa lights and my Sonos system. Things are pretty much in their beginning stages. I’m trying out different things but I will mostly be in an Apple ecosyst

I recently discovered this new iOS app called Soro. https://apps.apple.com/np/app/soro-for-sonos/id1550457805Soro allows you to easily control Sonos speakers with the iOS Shortcuts app. I have been able to create shortcuts/widgets for different EQ presets for Movie, Music, TV, and create a widget for playing a specific playlist on a specific Sonos speaker in my house. So far, it works great! Rather than manually changing the EQ in the Sonos app every time I switch from music to TV to movies, I just swipe right and tap once on my iPhone and it changes the settings within seconds.  

While my speakers are recognized in HomeKit, the available controls are limited.  Is it possible to control the volume through HomeKit?  Seems a basic functionality.
