One thing I forgot this pops up after announcement:

I also notice sometimes these error. Works the system despite that error?

Yepp, like a charm!

Therefore take your time…

Thats fine, i will promote the messages to the debug level. So no more info on this on the screen.

I have configured the plugin for a set of Sonos Play 1 speakers. I have placed them in a Group Device. When I trigger a rule to play a text the file is being generated, but the file is not played. The log shows:
[pimatic] info: rule speech: Rule not executed device offline

Hi, did you try the separate Sonos speakers or just 1 speaker also?

@pf I did a check and made an update. Its release 0.0.32. Let me know if this fixes the problem.

@bertreb Thanks for the quick reply.
I have installed 0.0.32. The initsound.mp3 works on restart. After that the rule still returns the offline error.
The log shows the following, every 15 seconds:
18:35:59.870 [pimatic-sounds] debug: Device ‘sonos_192168178153’ is online

Hi, i assume the ip address of the sonos is fixed. Could you try 1 Sonos device and not the group device

I tested it only with the Ikea clone of the sonos.
So if you don’t mind to help getting this tested and working on a real Sonos.

code 500

I added some error handling to get more info on the cause of your error -> version 0.0.33

I got another question, what sonos devices do you see when you do a discovery?

@bertreb When I do a discovery I see 2 devices:
20:41:24.018 [pimatic] info: Device discovered: pimatic-sounds: sonos_192168178185
20:41:24.032 [pimatic] info: Device discovered: pimatic-sounds: sonos_192168178153
The devices form a speaker pair.
Now one device stays online.
The other one is online for a moment and then goes offline. This repeats after 15 seconds.
When I configure a group device then I can use a rule that sends a file or a tts text to the group, so the good news is that is works. A minor issue are the changing state of one speaker and the log info every 15 seconds.

Hi, did you add both sonos devices as a separate device or just one of them?

I released version 0.0.34 with the error messaging reduced.
Is the grouping something you do in the Sonos app? I assume that only 1 of the 2 devices is becoming the master.
What happens if you only add the master speaker?

It works!
I have deleted all the devices and rediscovered them.
Now the devices stay online. Only one is only a short while offline after playing a file. Shortly after that the idle state is restored.
The grouping is done in the Sonos controller app.
It seems the problem has been solved.
Thanks.

Ok, good news.
I need to get a second Ikea Symfonisk for testing and stereo music of course

Hi bertreb,
I like to ask for play vol [0-100]. Could you be so kind to reimplement it?

Hi, i added setting the main volume again, in release 0.0.35

Thx, it works!

My test was only for the possibility to set the volume. As written, this works fine. But play text... does not work for me anymore.
