I don’t know if I’m missing something, when I try to do a custom automation with Smartthings devices as triggers to start playing my sonos speakers, the only actions its giving me to be able to do with the speaker is set volume or mute. I am able to use the speaker companion smart app but with the new integration between the two, I figured you would be able to do more custom automations with them. also I just started using sonos yesterday and maybe I’m just missing something. Help would be greatly appreciated.

As some here have already pointed out, LAN Sonos Player Websocket uses the following capabilities to replace Music Player:
Media Playback
Media Track Control
Media Presets
Media Group

Didn’t see this posted already.
From SmartThings:
"We are pleased to announce that Sonos is now officially supported by SmartThings! Together, Sonos and SmartThings are launching a new and improved integration that includes audio notification improvements and local execution for a faster and more stable connection.
We have identified that you are currently using the legacy Sonos integration, which will soon be deprecated.
Action Needed
In order to prevent any impact to your current setup, manually update your Sonos speakers to the new integration with these steps:
Remove the speakers and reconnect them using the new SmartThings app
Update any existing SmartApps or Automations that control your Sonos speakers
