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

With this code you can make scenes talk via son0s:

Hi all,

I have been playing around and found out that it also works when just using TCP commands. Also the volumeslider works. If you add commands be aware to change the content Length in line with the length of the body message.

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

EDIT: Added way to get your own radio station.

Ok, to get the correct url for your radio station do the following:

1.) Play correct radio station on a zone.

2.) Surf to http://<>:1400/status/radiolog

3.) Take the correct url, and replace the one in the example code (

).

Ungroup zone option 1

Ungroup zone option 2

This one proved to be a bit more stable for some users.

Group to zone

First check :1400/status/topology the UUID of your main zone, e.g: RINCON_000E58226B1601400

Be aware that if you copy and paste the TCP variant it add's some spaces which you have to delete manually. After save of the radio variants html encoded text is changed to normal chars if you make a change and save it again it will not work.

Hi Mark,

Can you give more information on how to use the TCP commands?

In LUA i can control Sonos but have the same issue as you discribe earlier.

After adding a virtual device with ip number x.x.x.x and TCP port 1400 and a button with one of the tcp commands doesn't give any result.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Ruud,

Be aware that if you copy & paste it adds some unwanted trailing spaces. If you remove those it will work

Thank you!

[Guest deraaij]

Thank you!

You are welcome!

This weekend I finished a python script which receives an update from the sonos as soon as something changes (Paused --> playing et cetera). I will post the info shortly.

I use it to set my receiver to on and the correct input when someones hits play on the particular zone.

Your welcome!

It depends on the size of the room which sonos is the best option. I have all the types and I am very happy with them. I would only not recommend the play:3 for a big room.

Your welcome! I hope I have time to include art when playing a radio station.

I also have a python script which can trigger a scene when a sonos starts playing. If some one is interested I will post it.

You can use the TCP versions. Those work both in the beta and the stable version. Lua is only available in the beta release.

Thank you:), I am definately interested, but Im not that familiar with python scripting. Hope you can explain a little... Perhaps give a step by step guide or link to necessary documentation.

Thanks again for your support.

Hi am not a real programmer but it works. You need python and the twisted library:

Obviously it will work in any other program language.

Thank you! Looks interesting!

I was wondering if you have any solution to group all zones in house. In case of a fire alarm I want all zones to play a message on repeat. Now I have the solution for message and repeat (see below). But is there any command that I can group all zones??

"Repeat all" command:

POST /MediaRenderer/AVTransport/Control HTTP/1.1

Content-Length: 308

SOAPACTION: "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:AVTransport:1#SetPlayMode"

0

REPEAT_ALL

0x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A

Hi I had a look for you:

First check :1400/status/topology the UUID of your main zone, e.g: RINCON_000E58226B1601400.

Second step is to make sure no zone is grouped (per ip adress):

Please login or register to see this code.

Third step add members per IP Adress to one main zone (using the RINCON ID from step 1):

Of course you could use LUA to loop through a list of IP adresses, but you have all the info to continue
