I am running Hass + Homebridge, using the Homebridge-Homeassistant plugin. The Homebridge config.json has a couple of supported_types for HomeAssistant including “light” and “media_player”. I am successful at using Siri now to turn off/on lights.
My Hass has automatically discovered my Sonos system (I have not added it explicitly as a node) and I presume Sonos is now my media player (all the Sonos zones/rooms show up on the Hass Web GUI).
So the question: Is this sufficient now to use Siri voice commands or do I need to explicitly add Sonos as a node?
And question #2: What are the available voice commands for media player via Siri/Homebridge?

Media Player Support
Media players on your Home Assistant will be added to your HomeKit as a switch. While this seems like a hack at first, it’s actually quite useful. While you can’t control everything a media player does, it will give you the ability to toggle them on or off.
There are some rules to know about how on/off treats your media player. If your media player supports play/pause, then turning them on and off via HomeKit will play and pause them. If they do not support play/pause but instead support on/off they will be turned on and off
It is limited and even with a Chromecast I can’t pause/play which was disappointing, but the plugin works very well for everything else. If you want Siri commands you might be able to hack together some switches that issue pause/play commands.
