Sonos Controller

Control Sonos speakers with music services support such as Spotify

About

Before using a music service, make sure that you linked your service account to your Sonos devices by using the Sonos application:

$ . mycroft-core/venv-activate.sh
$ msm install https://github.com/smartgic/mycroft-sonos-controller-skill.git

Configuration

This skill utilizes the settings.json file which allows you to configure this skill via home.mycroft.ai after a few seconds of having the skill installed you should see something like below in the https://home.mycroft.ai/#/skill location:

Fill this out with your appropriate information and hit the save button.

When Spotify music service is selected Mycroft will speak to you with a URL and code to follow. This URL is https://sonos.smartgic.io/CODE where CODE will be automatically and randomly generated by Mycroft and spoken to you (e.g. Visit sonos.smartgic.io/QAZT2E).

https://sonos.smartgic.io is a URL shortener system which will temporary store the music service authentication URL. Once the authentication is done, the URL will be deleted from the URL shortener system.

This link will redirect you to the music service authentication login page using https protocol.

Once you successfully logged to Spotify, enter the same code as provided before into the Link Code field. Mycroft will confirm the configuration and gives you some example of what you could say.
