Hi. I’m looking for 5-10 beta testers for a new DTH for Sonos Speakers.
The DTH has all of the features of the stock controller, plus:
(1) control group volume / group mute,
(2) add/remove a speaker to a group,
(3) displays station (eg, for Pandora) / playlist (eg, for Spotify or user music library) name, and
(4) select and play one of your saved favorite station / Playlist.
These new features are available from within the DTH itself. They can also be used in CoRE Pistons. I will be adding more features as well.
If you are interested, please PM me with a description of your Sonos setup, your level of expertise with CoRE, and general level of expertise with installing and using custom SmartThings DTH.
I have three Sonos Play:1’s and a single Sonos Connect. I’d love to test it out. I have used various features of CoRE and have pretty good knowledge of ST.
I have 5 rooms with Sonos:
Bedroom: Play 3
Office: 2 Play 3s in stereo and a Connect (the input from the Connect gets sent to the Plays 3s)
Kitchen: same as Office but Connect:AMP instead of Connect
Entrance: Play 1
Living Room: playbar, sub, and 2 play 1s as home theatre
I use Spotify with these, often grouped. I’d love to be able to have routines (with main logic in CoRE of course) which can change between various pre-set grouping options. E.g. Alexa, Turn on Sonos Downstairs: groups Kitchen, Entrance and LR. Alexa, turn on Sonos ungrouped, ungroups all the speakers, and so on
I use CoRE for most of my rules. I’ve used custom DTH’s for Sonos before ST made the official one vaguely usable. I’ve doen Sonos beta testing too.
I have 4 play 1s (two stereo pair). For music and radio, I mainly use TuneIn. I am an experience user of ST with tons of voice announcements. I am intermediate user of CoRE. I primarily use CoRe for most of my rules (most of them are with Sonos). I have comfortably installed custom apps and DDH from GitHub.
