Sonos Cli

Purpose

Inspect and control Sonos speakers through the CLI with room validation and confirmation required for disruptive actions like volume changes or playback interruption. The skill enables hands-free speaker management.

When to Use

• Controlling Sonos playback (play, pause, skip)
• Adjusting volume across rooms
• Checking what's currently playing
• Grouping or ungrouping speakers

When NOT to Use

• For professional audio equipment
• When Sonos is unavailable on the network
• For streaming service configuration (use app)

Capabilities

• Playback control (play, pause, skip, previous)
• Volume adjustment (per room or group)
• Queue management
• Room status and current track info
• Group management (add/remove rooms)
• Preset recall (favorites, playlists)
• Power control (standby, wake)

Inputs

• action (required) — one of: status, play, pause, volume, skip, group
• room (required) — speaker or group name
• value (optional) — volume level, target room for grouping

Workflow

1. Discover — Find available Sonos devices
2. Validate — Confirm room exists
3. Execute — Perform requested action
4. Confirm — Report result
5. Interrupt — Ask for disruptive actions first

Tools

• Sonos CLI (sonos-cli, soco, or similar)
• Network access to Sonos devices

Examples

User: "What's playing in the living room?" Response:

Living Room:
- Status: Playing
- Track: Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
- Artist: Queen
- Album: A Night at the Opera
- Duration: 5:55 / 5:54
- Volume: 35%

Safety

• Always validate room name exists
• Confirm before disruptive volume changes
• Never auto-adjust to max volume
• Warn before grouping/ungrouping
