This library makes interfacing an Arduino with your Sonos system a breeze. The library supports both controlling and reading the state of your Sonos components. Playing URIs, files, online radio stations, playlists, and line-in is supported as well as the most common commands like play, pause, skip, mute, volume and speaker grouping. What sets this library apart from similar libraries written for the Arduino platform it its ability to read the state of most of the Sonos functions: getting source, player state, track number, track position, volume and more. The library is relatively compact and has a small enough memory footprint to run on the Arduino Uno and Duemilanove.
ESP8266:
For an ESP8266 port, have a look this fork:
github.com/antonmeyer/sonos
Getting Started:
- Download and add this library to your Ardiono libraries folder.
- Download and add the MicroXPath library (github.com/tmittet/microxpath).
Note:
If you download the libraries as ZIP files from GitHub, "-master" will be added
to the end of the file names. You need to rename the files, such that e.g.
"microxpath-master.zip" becomes "microxpath.zip", before adding the libraries
to your Ardiono libraries folder.
Arduino Example Sketch:
In the Arduino example sketch I've implemented a simple serial protocol that
allows executing some of the Sonos commands that are supported by the library.
Here's a list of supported commands:
pl = Play
pa = Pause
st = Stop
pr = Previous track
nx = Next track
fi = Play test file (file path must be changed for this to work)
ht = Play http stream (you need access to the music service WIMP)
ra = Play radio (works if your speakers are connected to the internet)
li = Play line in (only works if the device has an AUX input)
gr = Group speakers (Living Room, Bathroom and Bedroom)
ug = Ungroups speakers
re = Toggle repeat
sh = Toggle shuffle
lo = Toggle loudness
mu = Toggle mute
52 = Set volume level 52 (range is 00 - 99)
b5 = Set bass level -5 (range is 0 to -9)
B5 = Set bass level +5 (range is 0 to +9)
t3 = Set treble level -3
T0 = Set treble level normal
