Smart Fade out for Sonos VD 1.2

Smart fade out for Sonos

First release on french board in April 2019

INTRODUCTION

This scene allow your HC2 to smoothly shut down your Sonos speakers. You can copy this scene with differents VD IDs as much as you want.

I personnaly use it for each room in my home, and one global with all IDs.

For example, I often use the scene in my bedroom to have a sleep mode, without beeing awaken by a hard shutdown of the speakers in the room.

WHAT DOES THIS SCENE?

• Look into the IDs and retrieve the volume and the room affected to the VD
• Look for the masters speakers (Those which can manage others speakers)
• Fadeout step by step every speakers
• Press the Pause button on masters speakers
• Put the volume at an audible level for next playing

WHAT'S A MASTER SPEAKER?

When you use Sonos Controller, you can create a group of speakers by adding speakers to the actual. All the speakers may play the same program simutaneously.

The speaker that you first selected is the master. It's transparent in the Sonos Controller App, but to manage Play/Pause/Programs Buttons on your HC2 server, you have to manage it on the master speaker. Actions won't be taken into account on VD of slaves speakers.
