Web App to Control Sonos Speakers (not required to be on your home wifi)

Speaker scenes (https://speakerscenes.com) lets you play, pause, etc your Sonos speakers via a web app and while you're not connected to your home wifi. (You can also setup 'scenes' ie. set groups of speakers.)

Let me know if you have any feature requests! (I know I'm still missing things like volume control and adjusting the speakers in a group not via a scene.)

      Hi, rowright.

      I’ve set up Siri Shortcuts no problem, but I can’t find the Alexa skill in the UK.

      Finally got home to test this on my home system. Scenes worked great!!! In Favorites, love to be able to select a scene instead of just one speaker. Love to see where this goes but I am liking! If I can use this from my tablets I use for control this will be a great feature!

      Upon further testing it does look like I can select the grouped speakers (Which I had done via the Scenes) So halfway there. But would be a two step process. If I could just go to you Favorites page and select the Scene, then play. It would be more like one step. Currently looks like I would go to Scenes. Load it. The Favorites, select the grouped speakers, and play. Combining that action would be very powerful! Great stuff!!! Of course next I would request it not be limited to just Favorites, but to actually pick services and load to a scene! Look forward to the future of this. Im a programmer and have 13 sets of speakers so if you would like me to test some stuff just let me know! Thanks for the brilliant idea and human interface!

      @Guyincognito76 - I hope to have the Skill available in the UK by early next week. I'll let you know when.

      @jmw_sono - Glad you like it. I was just thinking the same thing about selecting a scene from favorites. I'll try to find some time to get that done. On the select a service side, I'd love to do that, but the public Sonos APIs don't currently cover this. Finally, let me know how it works for you on a table and ideas you have on it. I use it on mine, but I'm still not fully happy with it.

        @Guyincognito76 I've now added support for UK English, so it should be available now. Let me know if you run into any issues.

          @rowright thanks, that’s brilliant.

          ‘Alexa, ask Speaker Sounds to play in everywhere’ isnt as pithy as ‘Hey, Siri play everywhere’ but it’s nice to have Siri be more efficient than Alexa for a change. 😃

            Not home yet to try but I did take a look from the hotel. I didn't have the Scenes options. But I just logged out and back in and I can now see them. Just wanted to let anyone else no, in case they weren't seeing them either.

            Oh how I want to crank some tunes from the hotel, but I bet wife would be pissed, LOL!

            Cant wait to try later this week!
