As I understand it you don’t. There’s no Airplay-like function for Android.

Hi Suziehardy77,

I am curious to know how you got on. Did a smartthings hub solve the problem?

I have just invested in Sonos and now encountered an issue where I can't play audio from a certain app from the national radio station. Used to play via bluetooth. It is a previous show so not live radio. Live radio works fine.

As it is basically a stream from the internet I thought it would cast from my android phone but I can't do this it seems.

Like you I did allot of research and did see people casting to Sonos speakers but it seems I cant do this. I always knew there was no bluetooth but thought Casting would work.

The solutions I have found are to either get an iPhone or some android hacking.

My conclusion is Sonos is a predominantly Apple user product and I have made an expensive mistake.

The sound and quality of the product but this block in how I use it will probably mean switching to something more open.

I look forward to hearing anything you may have learned.
