I just bought a sonos connect or my AV receiver (i alread have 3 connect amps).
Now i’m wondering how you guys automate this?
I would like to turn the receiver on with a specific volume when i hit play on the sonos app.
And i would like to turn the receiver off with a specific volume when i hit stop/pause on the sonos app. with a delay maybe?
How do you handle when someone turns on the TV ans sonos is still playing? the volume must be very high for the sonos. because i control it from the app.
Did you read the Sonos binding documentation?
You can create rules to change the volume when the Sonos gets a play of pause command.
Examples:
rule "Sonos in Bathroom via switch"
when
Item Bathroom_Light_Scene changed
then
if (Bathroom_Light_Scene.state == 20 || Bathroom_Light_Scene.state == 21){
if (Bathroom_Sonos_LED.state == ON && (Bathroom_Sonos_Controller.state == PAUSE || Bathroom_Sonos_Controller.state == UNDEF)){
Bathroom_Sonos_TuneIn.sendCommand(87683)
Bathroom_Sonos_Volume.sendCommand(15)
}else{
Bathroom_Sonos_Stop.sendCommand(ON)
}
}
end
rule "Sonos LJ Qmusic"
when
Item LJ_Presence changed to ON
then
createTimer(now.plusMinutes(5), [| //wait if other prescence changed to ON
if (Eva_Presence.state == OFF && Guests_Presence.state == OFF){
LivingRoom_Sonos_Qmusic.sendCommand(ON)
}
])
end
rule "Sonos qmusic"
when
Item LivingRoom_Sonos_Qmusic received command ON
then
LivingRoom_Sonos_Standalone.sendCommand(ON)
LivingRoom_Sonos_TuneIn.sendCommand(87683)
LivingRoom_Sonos_Volume.sendCommand(13)
end
Example where I change the light with the TV is ON
rule "Auto Lights"
when
Item Dark_Outside changed or
Item LivingRoom_Sonos_Linein changed or
Item HouseMode changed to 0 or
Item Current_TOD changed
then
if (Dark_Outside.state == ON && Current_TOD.state != "NIGHT"){
checkFirstS.apply(Shed_Light_OutSide_Switch,ON)
createTimer(now.plusSeconds(5), [|
val hue = ((now.getDayOfYear.intValue-1)*360/(if (now.getYear%4==0) 366 else 365)).toString
if (LivingRoom_Sonos_Linein.state == ON){
LivingRoom_Light_LedBulb_Colors.sendCommand("0,100,100")
LivingRoom_Light_LedBulb_Dimmers.sendCommand(100)
}else {
if (Current_TOD.state == "MORNING"){
LivingRoom_Light_LedBulb_Colors.sendCommand("12,100,100")
}else{
LivingRoom_Light_LedBulb_Colors.sendCommand(hue+",100,100")
}
if (triggeringItem.name == "LivingRoom_Sonos_Linein"){
LivingRoom_Light_LedBulb_Dimmers.sendCommand(75)
} else {
if (LivingRoom_Lights.state == OFF && HouseMode.state == 0){
LivingRoom_Light_LedBulb_Dimmers.sendCommand(50)
}
}
}
])
}else{
checkFirstS.apply(Shed_Light_OutSide_Switch,OFF)
if (LivingRoom_Sonos_Linein.state == OFF || Dark_Outside.state != ON){
checkFirstS.apply(LivingRoom_Light_LedBulb_Dimmers,OFF)
}
}
end
I’m totaly new to this and maybe it’s me ut the wiki is nog clear for me.
I tried the rule engine, it works for power on and volume change on state change of the sonos, but can’t get the input change to work.
So i might need to write a classic rule, but can’t seem to understand how to start.
I need some help.
i have:
SonosConnectMasterBedroom_State when this changes to PLAYING or ON?
Following should happen:
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Power should change to ON
and
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Volume should change to -15
and
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_InputSource should change to input 01
No, this is not as it should be
What is the name of your item of your Sonos Connect (how dit you name it in the item file?).
The rule will be:
rule “SonosMB_on”
when
Item **SonosItem** changed to "PLAYING"
then
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Power.sendCommand(ON)
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_InputSource.sendCommand("01")
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Volume.sendCommand(-15)
end
rule “SonosMB_on”
when
Item Sonos Masterbedroom changed to “PLAYING”
then
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Power.sendCommand(ON)
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_InputSource.sendCommand(“01”)
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Volume.sendCommand(-15)
end
Doesn’t work, get this rom the log file:
2019-10-04 17:46:44.487 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Loading model ‘SonosMB2.rules’
2019-10-04 17:46:44.499 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model ‘SonosMB2.rules’ is either empty or cannot be parsed correctly!

ok changed it, still no go!
Input seems to give error so i removed it, but still doesn’t work
rule “SonosMB_on”
when
Item SonosConnectMasterBedroom_State changed to “PLAYING”
then
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Power.sendCommand(ON)
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Volume.sendCommand(-15)
end
2019-10-04 21:18:35.369 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Loading model ‘SonosMB3.rules’
2019-10-04 21:18:35.386 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model ‘SonosMB3.rules’ is either empty or cannot be parsed correctly!
2019-10-04 21:18:36.577 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model ‘SonosMB3.rules’ has errors, therefore ignoring it: [1,6]: no viable alternative at input ‘�’
ok i found he problem
“SonosMB_on”
is diferent than
“SonosMB_on”
small detail but big difference!
this is the working rule
rule “SonosMB_on”
when
Item SonosConnectMasterBedroom_State changed to PLAYING
then
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Power.sendCommand(ON)
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_InputSource.sendCommand(“01”)
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Volume.sendCommand(-10)
end
rule “SonosMB_off”
when
Item SonosConnectMasterBedroom_State changed to STOPPED
then
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_InputSource.sendCommand(“05”)
BEDROOMAVReceiverHC_Zone1_Volume.sendCommand(-35)
end
So now it works quite wel, but i have a little issue.
When i change song or radio channel, the player states change to transition, and goes back to playing after that.
It means that the commands are ent again.
Not a big issue but not perfect.
Any idea if it possible to eliminate this?
