OriginalShow the original description

Control Sonos speakers (discover/status/play/volume/group).

AI rating90/ 100See how to install

Good for

  • Adjusting playback and volume in a specific room
  • Grouping multiple speakers
  • Playing favorites or managing queued tracks
  • Troubleshooting speaker discovery

Overview

What it does

This skill finds Sonos speakers on your local network and checks their status. It controls playback, pause, stop, and volume. You can select speakers by room name and add them to or remove them from groups. It also lists and plays favorites, displays, plays, or clears the queue of upcoming tracks, and searches for Spotify tracks.

When it helps

Use it when you want to change the volume in individual rooms or control several speakers together. If a speaker cannot be found, it can use the reported error to identify settings to check, such as network permissions.

Example requests

  • “Check the Sonos status in Kitchen and set the volume to 15.”
  • “Check how the Sonos speakers are grouped.”
  • “List my favorites and play the one I choose.”

Notes

The sonos command and local network access are required. If automatic discovery fails, you can specify an IP address. On Mac, you may need to check local network permission for the app running the command. A sandbox may also need network permission. Optional Spotify Web API searches require SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID/SECRET.

Sonos CLI

Use sonos to control Sonos speakers on the local network.

Quick start

  • sonos discover
  • sonos status --name "Kitchen"
  • sonos play|pause|stop --name "Kitchen"
  • sonos volume set 15 --name "Kitchen"

Common tasks

  • Grouping: sonos group status|join|unjoin|party|solo
  • Favorites: sonos favorites list|open
  • Queue: sonos queue list|play|clear
  • Spotify search (via SMAPI): sonos smapi search --service "Spotify" --category tracks "query"

Notes

  • If SSDP fails, specify --ip <speaker-ip>.
  • Spotify Web API search is optional and requires SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID/SECRET.
  • If there is an error, check the troubleshooting section and offer advice if there is a decent match.

Troubleshooting

sonos discover - no route to host

  • On error Error: write udp4 0.0.0.0:64326->239.255.255.250:1900: sendto: no route to host (Command exited with code 1)
    • Note that the port number after 0.0.0.0: is ephemeral and will change and the netmask may not match exactly either
    • The sendto: no route to host should stay consistent
  • Advise the user that in direct (no Docker sandbox) mode on Mac OS that Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Local Network will need to be enabled for the top-level host parent process of the Gateway
    • node if running via launchd
    • Terminal if running the gateway directly in the terminal
    • Visual Studio Code if running via terminal in VS Code
  • An alternative option is to use sandbox (docker container) with network access allowed for that sandbox

sonos discover - bind: operation not permitted

  • On error Error: listen udp4 0.0.0.0:0: bind: operation not permitted
  • Advise the user that they may be running via a Codex or other sandbox that does not permit network access (this can be replicated by running sonos discover within a Codex CLI session with sandbox enabled and not approving the escalation request)
