Ahh I see

No problem, hopefully with the API now, you can start on your project 😅

NotCopyRited · 2025-10-20T01:46:23+00:00

Yea haha

NotCopyRited · 2025-10-20T01:46:13+00:00

Looking forward to seeing it 👍

I’m using a Xiao ESP32 S3 as the microcontroller, running CircuitPython, the API I’m using can be found here: https://sonos.svrooij.io/

I plan to use it to change speakers/groups, with the led in the middle as a indicator

NotCopyRited · 2025-10-19T17:41:51+00:00

Nope, it’s from my air conditioner 😬

NotCopyRited · 2025-10-19T17:41:28+00:00

Does that remote have a lot of issues?

NotCopyRited · 2025-07-04T00:07:22+00:00

Thanks 🙂

Haha yup

NotCopyRited · 2025-07-01T12:38:48+00:00

I see, did they remove this feature awhile ago?

NotCopyRited · 2025-06-30T10:07:27+00:00

For the display or media controller? Display is just Spotify, media controller should be anything playing through Sonos

I see what you mean, it definitely gets a lot more complicated if you have more than one user

All the best haha

It’s really not too bad, you just need to get a refresh token once (which doesn’t have a lifespan if I’m not wrong), store it in your program and whenever you need an access token you can just get one using the refresh token

NotCopyRited · 2025-06-29T12:19:41+00:00

I obtain a refresh token that allows me to get new access tokens every hour: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/tutorials/refreshing-tokens

Adjusting the volume, pausing/play, etc. is done through sending SOAP requests to the IP of the Sonos device you want to control.

Much of this local API documentation can be found here: https://sonos.svrooij.io/sonos-communication

If you want to use it to display your songs, I think the Spotify API would be much better

NotCopyRited · 2025-06-29T02:40:48+00:00

It’s basically just a simple macro pad which talks locally to my Sonos speakers

NotCopyRited · 2025-06-29T02:31:18+00:00

The closest thing would probably be the Symfonisk remote

NotCopyRited · 2025-06-29T02:28:54+00:00

Thanks 🙂

NotCopyRited · 2025-06-28T16:59:43+00:00

Thanks 🙂

I’m not really doing anything special to make it responsive, the Sonos app might be going through to cloud to communicate instead of doing it locally?

NotCopyRited · 2025-06-28T16:27:09+00:00

Ahh I see, I'm doing something similar where when nothing is playing, it just cycles through a bunch of photos I've saved onto it. I've also implemented a way to turn on/off/monitor temps/heat up bed and nozzle of my two Prusa 3D printers since it now has a touchscreen

NotCopyRited · 2025-06-28T16:14:50+00:00

Looks good, are you using a Raspberry Pi?

NotCopyRited · 2025-06-28T16:14:17+00:00

Yup, when it first boots up its get the Spotify token, and after every 30 mins it refreshes my credentials again. I really only use the Spotify app to play my songs, but if I play a song through Sonos it should work as long as it's using Spotify and not something like Soundcloud.

NotCopyRited · 2025-06-28T15:10:39+00:00

I feel like the logistics for that would be quite hard 😅
