Sonos. Where to start?

Welcome to the community, Charles!

Yes, Hubitat has native support for Sonos devices.

If I remember correctly, you have to:

  1. Navigate to the Apps section of your Hubitat admin UI
  2. Tap the Add Built-in App button at the top of the screen
  3. Select the Sonos Integration
  4. Follow the prompts in the Sonos Integration app
    • It should discover your Sonos devices, then take you to a screen where you can select which Sonos devices you want to include in Hubitat

After you’ve added the Sonos devices into Hubitat, you’ll then want to authorize SharpTools.io to have access to those devices:

  1. Navigate to your SharpTools.io User Page
  2. Tap Manage Connections
  3. Select Hubitat
  4. Follow the authorization prompts making sure to check the boxes next to your Sonos devices to authorize them

Once you’ve authorized your Sonos devices in SharpTools, you can add them as a Thing like any other device. The default tile layout is a set of Music Player controls. You can use the ‘Change Layout’ option in the tile’s menu to change it to an Album Art Tile though. :smiley:

Once you have the Sonos device authorized in SharpTools, you can also use it in rules to do things like playing your desired music / stations. @James has an article on this here:
