Hi. Got Sonos speakers a few months ago and was delighted to see that I could control them through HA. I think thereās a slight UI aspect that could be improved. The image here is how Iāve setup the cards, but the āGroupingā view and the āGroupsā view donāt show the speakers in the same order, which bothers me especially when Iām selecting between the speakers, and the other changes but in a different order (badly explained but I hope thatās clear). Any chance that the UI can be changed, or perhaps point me to a configuration where I can do it myself? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the feedback! I have now made sure the sorting is aligned, try this new release: v9.2.4
Please note that sorting in the grouping section is meant to be aligned with the official Sonos app, which means that members of the currently selected group will be shown at the top.
If you want to disable this, use groupingDontSortMembersOnTop: true.
Hiā¦
I`m quite new to Home Assistant - came from IOBroker and was frustrated about UI.
I love the Sonos Card. But is there the option to overwrite the cover with a custom URL? Most Radio Stations do not provide a cover, but Media Title and Artist. I have a REST command that get“s the URL from itunes for the cover. The URL I have exposed as sensor.
Thanks

Now, Iām proberly doing something wrong, but I just added this card and selected which entities I want shown, and while changing settings, I can see all the Sonos speakers I have connected, but when I save and go back to the front page, only 3 out of 4 is shown?
Also it doesnt appear to pick up if Sonos has been activated from a phone and not through Homeassistant? It tells me āNo media selectedā, while the Sonos is active and playing.
EDIT:
Apparently a restart did the trick. So it was me doing something wrongā¦
Thanks! Updating the card from HACS did work. I didnāt get a notification from HACS that I could update the card this time; strange⦠but itās fixt now
Something recently changed in how the Browse Media button in the Favorites panel works.
It use to pop up the stock media browser, but now it no longer goes directly to the media browser and instead pops up the stock media player. Then I can hit the media browser button from that media player window, but this add an extra move and click to get there.
Is there a setting I that changed how this worked and how can I get it back to the old behavior?
HomeAssistant core 2025.10 removed the functionality to be able to go directly to the media browser
I asked them to revert that limitation, but no reply.
Is there any way to add a custom web radio (i.e. Icecast) to be accessible from the Sonos card? I have managed to add it as a favorite in Music Assistant, but Music Assistant doesnāt show up as a source for the Sonos card.
I also tried using the Media browser > Radio Browser, but I canāt find any way to add my own network stream to this.
Finally, I tried creating a .m3u with the network stream (or using the one automatically generated by Icecast) but when I try to play it this way, it doesnāt stream.
Any ideas? As of right now, the only way I can trigger it is by going through Music Assistant or creating a custom button. Iād really like to get to it through the Sonos card.
I use the legacy TuneIn service in the Sonos app to add the internet streams I want to listen to (Add New Radio Station in the TuneIn service), and then right click the new station and save to Sonos Favorites. The new station immediately appears in the Sonos Card favorites list.
Thanks for the tip - it looks like the TuneIn legacy service is no longer possible to add to Sonos. The new TuneIn service doesnāt appear to have a way to add a custom radio station. To be totally clear, Iām trying to add a URL (a stream.ogg) that isnāt publicly listed in radio directories.
