Okay, so where's the current (new) plugin, as the url at the start of this thread (https://github.com/gerard33/sonos), states that this repo has been archived and is no longer maintained?

I'm not sure if there is a newer version than that one. Even though it's no longer maintained, it still works perfectly, at least for me. Of course, when Sonos decides to change its API or add functionality, we're out of luck...

It seems there is an issue with it, as I've just added one of my sonos players, and it told me it would appear in my devices list, but this then instantly crashes domoticz, which now appears offline, even after trying to restart it.

I'm restarting the Pi completely to see if it boots okay, but I would suspect it won't. If it does this everytime a player is added, there's something wrong with it obviously. With the GitHub project archived, there's no where to post new issues either, which is annoying.

Hmmm, ok. I think it has something to do with the latest stable release of Domoticz. With the beta it works fine. So it's probably not the fault of the plugin. By the way, if you cannot start Domoticz anymore, just remove the plugin from a command line.

Yes it's annoying that the plugin is not further developed anymore. But that is how open source projects work. Nobody gets paid for their work, anybody can decide to stop working on something any moment. Maybe somebody else will pick up development of this plugin one time.

Has anyone here used the Sonos plugin in combination with a Sonos One with Alexa enabled? I had this for a couple of days, but I am now beginning to suspect that this combination caused my Domoticz system to crash every day or so. It seems the Domoticz database gets corrupted (!) after a while. Removing the plugin for only this Sonos seems to have solved my problem. Although further testing is needed, it would help if I would know others are using this combination successfully (or not).

Hi, plugin still working fine with latest stable version of Domoticz. I use it for sending notifications to my
Sonos speaker, made some mp3 files with a TTS prog.

The only thing not working is the radio station list, I select some Radio stations in my Sonos App but the don't show up
in the Domotics Sonos Radio selector.

What could be the problem?

Thanks

Have you got 'refresh radio list' on True in the hardware Tab?

And its the list in Sonos app in Radio by TuneIn, not the Sonos Favo list

Ik heb de sonos plugin geinstalleerd in domotiz op mijn rpi

Als er een sonos speaker wordt toegevoegd als device krijg ik direct een aantal switch (4) erbij per speaker.
Als je dan 5 apparaten hebt dan heb je 20 switches.
Is het op enige manier te groeperen. want zo wordt het dashboard wel heel druk en zie je door de hoeveelheid knoppen de juiste niet meer staan.

Wat is het doel:
ik zou willen ingeven (wat overigens ook kan in de Sonos applicatie) is dat een bepaalde speaker inschakelt en uitschakelt op een bepaald tijdstip op een bepaald radiostation.
Op de schakelaar status zit helaas geen timer wel op de schakelaars op de control, volume en keuze welk radiostation maar daardoor slaat de sonos niet aan. als ik de schakelaar status op aan zet dan gaat hij direct afspelen.
Echter als ik de player op pauze zet gaat na 5 seconden de player en de status op off waardoor deze na het drukken van play niet meer aangaat maar dat ik eerst de control of on moet zetten.
Handmatig werkt het prima.

Is there a way for me to group players an easy way?
Thanks and regards Kali
