Sonos - Virtual Device

[Guest deraaij]

Update: Please use TCP as of version 3.x as os.execute has been depreciated. As soon as we are able to have custom headers I will update the LUA code.

Hi all,

For those who are interested I made a Virtual Device based on the new LUA feature (inspired on lua code for MIOS) which can control a sonos device. It uses curl but will change it when the http api is documented. Change the IP address accruing to your needs.

EDIT: Added additional comments from other post which I posted in this thread.

EDIT: Changed req.lua --> /tmp/req.lua which works with beta 3.423 & 3.424

oke, this is not efficient!

i am trying to get all those nice code to work. But is difficult with some spaces and stuff.

Can someone export their virtual device and post it?

Oh by the way. Got my set yesterday

Does someone have an updated version of the LUA code to make the sonos talk? as the Os.execute versions don't work anymore.

[ Added: 2014-01-30, 16:57 ]

I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone know if it is possible to do it or to calculate the content length?

Then you could adjust them in code...

I used use the len function in excel

Yeah, but if I change the content of a string by a lua code. For instance for TTS with different temps or weather. And the HC2 doesn't have excel

stevenvd, I release soon my complete virtual device with advanced properties

for TTS you can try for example:

put your IP and port in your VD and copy the code in a button to play...

Please login or register to see this code.

ex: playTTS(strLang, strMessage, nil, intVolume) you can replace nil by integer value to set duration. nil = auto stop mode.

It worked directly! and in the way I hoped to get it to work eventually.

Now combine it with getting your preset notifications and you have your message spelled out!

Had to try it (A)

here you can get the notification :

Please login or register to see this code.

if you now set the id of the notification in a global variable. You can change it, run the virtual device button and it will speak a different preset notification

Change the Function call into:

playTTS("nl", getNotification( fibaro:getGlobalValue("NotificationId") ), nil, 12);

Thanks krikroff! without you I wouldn't have gotten it to work like this

Will make it better when I have more time.

You would want to convert the condition into a sentance.

stevenvd, this is exactly why I made SONOS TTS

WOW! Nice coding!

Just a damn shame GoogleTTS cannot respond as quick as we would like!

But regardless ***** 5-Star!

To speed it up, you could actually just save a few of them on your server. The static ones...

And for the non static ones, like weather. It is not such a problem for me that it takes a little longer.

[deanrparry 19]

Ahh i see save the generated mp3 file to server and play that instead

Created this.

Using an alternative service (

) as well as a php script to proxy only the mp3 file you could get a much faster response!

Let me know what you guys think.

[ Added: 2014-02-14, 21:45 ]

I am looking for a way to use Sonos to announce events. What I am thinking is that I need to:

save each devices queue to a variable and the different group states and volumes.

Then initiate party mode (all devices in one zone), set the volume, disable repeat and

play the message.

After complete, restore the devices to their previous state.

There may be a better way to do this, as what I am trying to achieve is to have Sonos act as an Public Announcement system.

Do you think this would be possible through code you've already written Kirkroff?

[paolo.binelli 0]

Hello you can have a file (. VFIB) for a Sonos Play1?

Thank you all!

[Lockzi 1]

So guys, I've been spending the past two days trying to solve this Sonos Text-to-Speech.

I have decided to move it out of HC2 into a Node.JS app as I found a good API I could build upon.

The work can be found at:

Please login or register to see this link.

Currently we have a proof of concept where the player name is hardcoded (Living Room in the commit on line # 276).

Usage is: localhost:5005/ttsall/text+to+speech

Doing a HTTP get from HC2 on events is simple so that's no problem.

This would get livingroom to speech a voice from Google's TTS engine saying "Text to speech". If a speech already has been downloaded it would not have to download it again.

Later on in the project I believe I will run this on a server where it downloads the messages to a CIFS share as Sonos seem to be slow to start Radio streams.
