Sonos - python contoller

I know there are few people that have in the past wanted to integrate sonos with indigo.

Not sure if people have seen the thread on the sonos site, but Henkelis has been working on a python/upnp controller. It has an optional browsers front end, but apparently can be directly accessed or controlled from AppleScript.

My python is non-existent, but thought someone might be interested. The code is not on line yet, but he is emailing it out on request and it works perfectly on my mac and can be accessed from iPhone/iPod/touch etc.

It's a very early version but it works and seems to me this could provide the link for direct control from indigo

Cool - maybe it will give a big leg-up to someone that wants to write a Sonos plugin when Indigo 5.0 ships.

Thanks for sharing that information, mat.

Whenever I think "What's the coolest thing I could add to my Indigo setup this weekend?" Sonos is always on the list. A few kludgy applescripts haven't really made it past my beta test folders, though. This gives new hope.

Hi

I have now started playing with the above and have volume control from within indigo using apple script to post http requests to the above mentioned python server ...my skills are not up to full integration but mark has pasted the basic http requests on page 12 of the post in the sonos forum.

if you call the http from applescript it give basic functionality. Will post more if anyone is interested. Basically

try
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download "(insert http request)" to "tmp/sonos.html" replacing yes
end tell
end try

(thanks Charlie for the script)

I've not tried anything complex yet, but its a start - if people want to take it further I would be interested to see what "full" integration can be achieved.

As requested by a few peple here I have posted my AS on page 13 of the above linked thread
