For anyone that has purchased a LaMetric smart clock [(http://lametric.com)] (http://lametric.com) and wishes to be able to display what is currently playing on a specified Sonos speaker as well as be able to pause/play the speakers, I have created the following SmartApp that does so. This could be useful for any bar/restaurant owners that use Sonos for music and want to have a display for the patrons to see what is currently playing overhead.
I tried to be as detailed as possible in the README.
Wow, that was a pretty comprehensive guide, thank you!
I have this up and running, the only issue I had is that pollster doesn’t seem to pick up on Sonos devices, so I can’t add them to the polling list.
Other than that, it seems to work very well anyway. I did have to remove and re-install Sonos to ST, as that always seemed buggy, It appears to be much better after doing that.
In theory it should be possible actually. Denon and Marantz share the same HEOS engine and I believe there is an API to call what is playing (I have a Marantz). It would still require an intermediary to do the communication, hence why I recommended SmartThings. I can try to take a quick look to see how feasible this is. Mind you, I’m nowhere close to being able to call myself a developer, but I can definitely see what I can do.
