Is it possible to control groups and also make groups in Sonos from Openhab ?
In the Wiki it seems possible, but when I try to use the syntax it failed.
I want to make a rule for radio.
When radio is started I want to make a sonos group with all sonos players…
When TV is started I want that only the Playbar is in the “group” an all others sonos player turned off…
How can I do this in a rule ?
I assume this is for openHab1.? If so, please have a look at this thread, you will find an example in the last posting.
Hi,
I have seen this thread…
But I couldn´t get it to work 
I don´t know wich are the real players and wich is maybe virtuel
sendCommand(“SonosAddKitchen”, “Kitchen”)
sendCommand(“SonosAddDen”, “Den”)
sendCommand(“SonosAddMasterBedroom”, “MasterBedroom”)
sendCommand(“SonosAddDiningRoom”, “DiningRoom”)
sendCommand(DiningRoomVolume, 98)
sendCommand(KitchenVolume, 98)
sendCommand(DenVolume, 98)
sendCommand(MasterBedroomVolume, 98)
I have three players:
Do I have to make a group like “ALL” like this ?
sendCommand(“ALL”, “Kueche”)
sendCommand(“ALL”, “Terrasse”)
sendCommand(“ALL”, “TV”)
The logic is that you have to tell a player that he is now the “master” for another player. So let us assume you want control „Kueche“ and „Terasse“ by „TV“. Then you would need following two commands:
sendCommand(Sonos_TV_Master, „Kueche“)
sendCommand(Sonos_TV_Master, „Terasse“)
And as item:
String Sonos_TV_Master {sonos=„[TV:add]"} // or {sonos=„[RINCON_xxxx:add]"}
I will try in the evening
And when I want to remove player from the Group i do it like this ?
String Sonos_TV_Master_remove {sonos=„[TV:remove]"}

When the rule radio starts…I can see in the log that the rule starts…
But when i look in the sonos app the players are not grouped…
Where is my mistake ?
Found two things in your rule definition. The first parameter is an item name and should not be quoted. The second parameter is the name of the Sonos player as it is defined in the Sonos app. I assume in you case it is rather “Kueche” instead of “kueche” (but not sure if it makes a difference).
sendCommand(SonosTVMaster, "Terrasse")
sendCommand(SonosTVMaster, "Kueche")
Any luck with grouping Sonos players (or using stereo pairs) with openhab? Unfortunately I have not managed to get this working. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the late reply…I got it to working, do you need help anymore ?

Kobelka
Would you be so kind as to share your config for this? Thanks in advance!
