Sonos CLI

Use sonos to control Sonos speakers on the local network.

Common tasks

Grouping: sonos group status|join|unjoin|party|solo
Favorites: sonos favorites list|open
Queue: sonos queue list|play|clear
Spotify search (via SMAPI): sonos smapi search --service "Spotify" --category tracks "query"

Notes

If SSDP fails, specify --ip <speaker-ip>.
Spotify Web API search is optional and requires SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID/SECRET.
If there is an error, check the troubleshooting section and offer advice if there is a decent match.

Copy & paste — that's it

Quick start

sonos discover
sonos status --name "Kitchen"
sonos play|pause|stop --name "Kitchen"
sonos volume set 15 --name "Kitchen"

Troubleshooting

`sonos discover` - `no route to host`

On error Error: write udp4 0.0.0.0:64326->239.255.255.250:1900: sendto: no route to host (Command exited with code 1)
Note that the port number after 0.0.0.0: is ephemeral and will change and the netmask may not match exactly either
The sendto: no route to host should stay consistent
Advise the user that in direct (no Docker sandbox) mode on Mac OS that Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Local Network will need to be enabled for the top-level host parent process of the Gateway
node if running via launchd
Terminal if running the gateway directly in the terminal
Visual Studio Code if running via terminal in VS Code
An alternative option is to use sandbox (docker container) with network access allowed for that sandbox

`sonos discover` - `bind: operation not permitted`

On error Error: listen udp4 0.0.0.0:0: bind: operation not permitted
Advise the user that they may be running via a Codex or other sandbox that does not permit network access (this can be replicated by running sonos discover within a Codex CLI session with sandbox enabled and not approving the escalation request)
