Advanced commands

The used sonos library has way more to offer. So we also provide a way to execute all the other commands.

Send a message to the control endpoint sonos/uuid_of_speaker/control with the following payload to execute the SetVolume command:

{
  "command": "adv-command",
  "input": {
    "cmd": "RenderingControlService.SetVolume",
    "val": {
      "InstanceID": 0,
      "Channel": "Master",
      "DesiredVolume": 20
    }
  }
}

• command: Should be adv-command.
• input: Object containing extra information.
  • cmd: The sonos library command, prefixed with the service name.
  • val: Object containing the required parameters (names are case sensitive!)

Fetch data

Where are also trying to implemened a way to fetch data from the speakers, this is currently discussed here (feedback wanted!). The current (beta) solution looks like:

Send a command that you expect to return data and specify the reply option.

Topic: sonos/uuid_of_speaker/control Payload:

{
  "command": "adv-command",
  "input": {
    "cmd": "RenderingControlService.GetVolume",
    "val": {
      "InstanceID": 0,
      "Channel": "Master"
    },
    "reply": "GetVolumeResponse"
  }
}

You will then get a message at sonos/uuid_of_speaker/{reply} like sonos/uuid_of_speaker/GetVolumeResponse.

{ "CurrentVolume": 40 }
