Hello there! I'm thinking of taking another shot at using IncontrolHA.

With Sonos, is it possible to create scenes that will play certain music? I gather there's ways to make it play sounds, like to say what scene is running, but what if I just want to play a certain kind of music when a certain scene is run. Lets say I have a scene called "chill party," I could have all the lights in the house dim to a nice atmospheric level, then have some R&B playing from the Sonos. Is that possible?


You can capture the current Sonos "playlist" item and re-play it. This should work for things like Pandoara radio stations, Google play, or actual play list items. Give us a shout at our ticket system if you need any extra help or details on how it works.

So it'll capture a playlist and play it back even if I've gone on to play other things? That's fine with me, I think. I'm hoping that internet radio stations would work too.

Very nice. Thanks for the info.
