Just got home with a shiny new Sonos speaker. I have setup some events using Big Talker however the resume playing function does not work. I am using Spotify, Sonos Play 1, and Big Talker smart app. Please Help!

I have the same problem. Merely changing the volume in the Sonos app after the Big Talker event pauses Spotify, resumes play, though.

I will try other music services later and see if they have the same issue.

You might try BigTalker 2.0 (development version) and see if the issue is still present. I should be releasing this version soon with minor adjustments from it’s current development state. I addressed issues found in the latest 1.1.12 release in the 2.0 development branch.

The discussion thread for Big Talker 2.0 is [here](https://community.smartthings.com/t/bigtalker-2-0-development/55305).

The parent app code is [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rayzurbock/SmartThings-BigTalker/development/smartapps/rayzurbock/bigtalker-dev-parent.src/bigtalker-dev-parent.groovy).  
The child app code is [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rayzurbock/SmartThings-BigTalker/development/smartapps/rayzurbock/bigtalker-dev-child.src/bigtalker-dev-child.groovy).

Publish the parent, save the child (in the IDE).
