I currently have Sonos to alert me when ST do actions. But what can I do when I want sonos to play a custom sound or mp3 when an action is executed. Example. When door opens sonos can play a 10 second custom sound (a small mp3 file). Any ideas ?

Edit the sonos “notify with sound app” to use that as a file :smile: Look at the bottom of the code, should be pretty straight forward. You’ll have to have it hosted somewhere where sonos can find the file. Like a public google drive folder or something.

Has anyone modified the sonos notifywith sound smartapp (or any others) to work with an mp3 hosted on an ftp server that doesn’t require authentication? I’m trying to do this because my local wifi router will take a USB drive and share it as an FTP resource or like a windows file share (\foldername…

HI @Dave_Bartelli , I dont think any speaker support ftp protocol, you must to publish the mp3 like http://192.168.1.1/Siren.mp3 , or your domain http://mydomain/Siren.mp3 , you need too the mp3 duration in seconds state.sound = [uri: “ http://mydomain/mysound.mp3 ”, duration: “10”] means 10 seconds r…

Thanks for the replies and the details. I’ll probably go with a local web server (maybe some day the USB ports on the hub could handle a USB drive with mp3s). However, I was wondering if anyone has used mp3s hosted on google drive. When you share a file on google drive, you get a url with a guid-…

It’s been a while but I used to be able to set any song in my library as a custom notification through the smart app, why has that disappeared? It worked really well for my test using a short MP3 from the “Angels with Filthy Souls” scene in Home Alone.

Sorry for the extreme noob question, but how do you edit code of smartapps on smartthings ? i came to this thread to also make my sonos play custom mp3s for specific events

[image] twinturbo11: also make my sonos play custom mp3s for specific events You can spare your time doing fun stuff than trying to figure out how to modify an app, as others before you have probably done it already. You can install RemindR to play custom mp3 for the events you need. Or if y…

Hi @SBDOBRESCU Great Smartapp, finally got it working after some help from @chippie about the buton press of Ring Doorbell sending #13000, so the smartapp does what it’s supposed to but the sounds on sonos is delayed. Can either of you assist on the below error i’m getting? 09:42:13: info delayed …
