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

• Grouzaicoderng: sonos group status|join|unjoin|party|solo
• Favorites: sonos favorites list|open
• Queue: sonos queue list|play|clear
• Spotify search (via SMAPI): sonos smazaicoder 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)
