Sonos beam HDMI ARC - Turn on TV

Add-ons Bindings

Hi all,

I’ve carefully read the Sonos Documentation but somehow i could not find it.
With the installed Sonos Beam Skill on the Amazon Alexa enabled I can say things like
“Alexa Turn on the TV”.
This is done via HDMI ARC through the Sonos Beam.
The same for sure for turning off the TV.

is the same thing possible also with the Sonos Binding?

Your use case doesn’t seem to be supported by the current Sonos Binding.

As a workaround you could probably use a combination of:

  • Amazon Alexa Smart Home Skill
  • Exec Binding and cec-client
  • HW requirements: HDMI cable, Raspberry Pi or USB CEC interface

Hi Ap15e,

I already fixed it with the Alexa binding :slight_smile:
It’s a workaround but it works.

Thanks

Can you share how you managed this? Been looking through the Alexa binding and I can’t seem to make the Beam a thing.

Hi,

so i simply installed the sonos skill using the alexa app.
Now you should be able to say alexa turn on TV.

Then used the Alexa Binding and pressed search and added the tv.
This item the simply has a on / off switch, and that’s it.
