I have a custom media card that I have grouped 2 speakers on but it does not seem to be working. Could someone take a look at my code and see if there is anything off?
- artwork: material
entity: media_player.kitchen
group: true
hide:
power: true
info: short
name: Kitchen
source: icon
speaker_group:
platform: sonos
show_group_count: false
entities:
- entity_id: media_player.kitchen
name: kitchen
- entity_id: media_player.kitchen2
name: kitchen2
shortcuts:
columns: 2
rows: 2
buttons:
- id: Classic Rock
type: source
name: Classic Rock
- id: Foo Fighters Essentials

- id: 70's Chill
type: source
name: 70s Chill
- id: Peloton 90s Rock
type: source
name: Peloton 90s Rock
type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
volume_stateless: true
In the card, the kitchen speaker shows but not kitchen2 speaker.

I found my issue. The players were already grouped by the Sonos app. Once I ungrouped them in the Sonos app, they appear and function correctly in HA
Total noob here. Did you group the speakers in yaml before making a custom card? Also did you need to add the card “-type: media-control” above

@johngalt No I didn’t group them in yaml, I just put them in the custom media player card as described here: Lovelace: Mini Media Player
In order to get it to work as a group, I needed to un-group them in the Sonos app first.
Thanks for the reply. Do you have any code above
Like the type of card or anything?

Sorry for the late reply. I just looked and I no longer use the custom media player card for this. Rather I use the entities card with the code below:
entities:
- artwork: material
entity: media_player.kitchen
group: true
hide:
power: true
icon: 'mdi:music'
info: short
name: Kitchen

- id: Peloton 90s Rock

type: source
columns: 2

speaker_group:

:host {
--mini-media-player-scale: 1.5;
}
type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
volume_stateless: false

great thanks I got it now. I didnt have HACS installed and didnt know I put the code into the card editor. .
Sorry last question (maybe) is there a simple answer as to how you linked the playlist buttons? I’ve tried a couple things but havent gotten it yet…thanks!

For the playlist buttons you just need to name them the same as they appear in the Source drop down on the player. Also in order for them to appear in the source drop down, you need to create the playlist in the Sonos app first. Hope that helps.
Trying to figure this all out… I’m not seeing any drop down… this is what I’m using for the player…
Any help would be appreciated… here’s what I’m using now of course it’s not working…

The ONLY issue I’m having with this is the sonos group, I can see them but cannot turn either to join/unjoin… working on figuring that out LOL
