That’s probably gonna be hard, since I don’t have any Linkplay devices to test with (never even heard about them).
Hi,
some details:
I’m using the Arylic devices (amplifier and streamers)
Really great products.
GA version of v6 is now released Release v6 · johanfrick/custom-sonos-card · GitHub.
Enjoy

Hi all,
I’ve given this a go today, and it works fine (I’m only scratching the surface at this point), but I am finding a really odd behaviour: if I play any media source (for example, a radio station from the media browser) then my sonos system completely disappears from spotify (from my computer, from my phone, and from everyone else’s devices in the house). The only way to get it back I found it to be to play something from Alexa - at which point then it instantly appears again for everyone. I found this behaviour mind blowing, and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
Additionally: has anyone ever managed to add a quick shortcut button for this module to play a radio station on the selected device? I would like to have 4/5 preset stations I could switch between at the distance of a single click (instead of having to browse through 3 levels on the radio browser then finding the station amongst hundreds each time).
Other than the problem above it’s working perfectly, so thank you.
Hi! I love this card and it has rendered the native app redundant. I was excited to see the new release notes but am I doing something wrong? I’ve refreshed the front end and even restarted HA but the card still looks exactly the same and it still says no visual editor available. I even tried adding a new card elsewhere on the dashboard with the same result.
Do i need to delete the existing custom component and reinstall it?
I deleted and redownloaded the card from HACS and now I have the new look which is great! I’m not clear what I can do with the visual editor though. I’m assuming you’re referring to the options that normally appear in a card when you edit dashboard and then edit card?
It says I’m in the visual editor mode but there’s nothing I can actually edit. I assumed I could change certain settings. Am I misunderstanding the notes?
Is there a way to set the default player for the latest version of the card? I don’t want to limit access to other players but it would be nice to be able to specify which player is selected when the card first loads.
It’s a mystery. I cannot get it to show! Tried a reboot, different theme, deleted the card and reinstalled and nothing works. Weird. Anyway the default setup looks fine so I’ll just carry on.
Thanks for the great tool!
What version of home assistant?
2023.6.1. The latest
Uhmm. Please, can you tell us how do you set those Sonos-style icons? Where do you find them?

How did you setup those neat favourite buttons? Do they link to Radio Browser stations ?
- open Sonos app
- find a song
- select radio from song
- open recently played in Sonos
- click add to my Sonos on the recently played song radio
Done
I use Spotify on Sonos. Not sure if that’s required
The new version is awesome (also displays perfectly on the Samsung fridge browser, where the old version was challenged).
Two quesitons
- Is there a way to get an icon only view for the media browser?
- Is it possible to automatically switch back to the player section, eg. when someone changes the volume and leaves it on the volume section? I could do a browser mod page reload, but I am not sure how to even know which seciton is selected.
Hello there,
Long time no check-in. I’m on the beta version. I migrated Home Assistant to a new instance so I decided now was the time to change this card. Great job folding this into the front end cards configured in the UI. Really great stuff. Everything is working as described.
I did some basic tests and didn’t run into issues. One thing to note, crossfade state appears to be keeping up in real time now. Not sure when that was resolved but definitely works better now.
I only have 1 outstanding question. On the volume page, it only gives me the volume of the selected device or if grouped devices. Is that the intended functionality? Is there a way for me to see all my volumes regardless of what’s selected (so I can prevent grouping to a device set at volume 50)?
The only way I see to do this is keep selecting devices and swapping the pages back and forth.
You provided a super clean look and yes I want to junk it up by seeing all my volumes on the volume page.

Thank you for the nice words!
I understand where you are coming from with your request. Quite recently they added this to the official Sonos app, to see the volumes when grouping. I quite like it.
I’ll give it a think. But it will be some work. I have some outstanding bugs that needs addressing first.
Can you please post the request on Github?
Nice suggestions! Can you post them to Github?
