node-sonos-http-api VS SoCo

Title. I'm trying to write a program right now to sync speaker audio with other devices, and I came across the Sonos HTTP API: https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api

This works quite well as a system that I've tested a few times. When the system triggers, all lights come on full brightness in every room as well as garden and garage and our Sonos system plays an alarm sound on full volume from every room using the http api. Because the speakers in the garage would play too, this would alert our neighbours if we were ever away.

I am running the Sonos API container on docker. It allows to play sound file or you can send a text for text-to-speech announcements. You can specify on which Sonos to play and the volume. Details: https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api

This code allows you to control a Sonos speaker system with the help of the Node Sonos HTTP API

Not sure if you mean that, but the Sonos S1 interface has been reverse-engineered, see here:

https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api

This allows you to e.g. set the Sonos speakers to play any audio URI.

I use this project as a web service for my integrations with Sonos https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api

Hello, I am making a simple web app for personal use and I am using this api. I want to be able to play stations, but it doesn't seem to have that functionality.

EDIT** Also, saw this SoCo API: https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo

I gave no idea how to find you, but there are numerous open source sonos clients such as https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo out there that use the sonos API without requiring location services.

This is possible to do but requires some programming using Python and the SoCo library https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo

SoCo is, to the best of my knowledge, the best supported Python library for controlling Sonos speakers.

The sonos ecosystem is pretty locked down, but I found this really neat Python library and this CLI wrapper tool to control it, which is awesome! It makes it super easy to play any audio stream on the speaker, and I already used this for a little script for my dad to play some music that he only has locally as .mp3 files :)

I wrote Python scripts using SoCo https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo
