Migrating Sonos.join to media_player.join

[Descartes]

I have HA 2021.12.10 installed. I am looking to upgrade to 2022.8.3

There is a Sonos breaking change in 2022.8 as described below:

“The sonos.join and sonos.unjoin services will be removed in 2022.8 in favor of the standard media_player.join and media_player.unjoin services.”

I cannot find any guidance on how to join Sonos speakers using the media_player.join

Below is an example script for the Sonos.join

`sonos_join_example:
sequence:

• service: sonos.join
  data:
  master: media_player.sonos_garage
  entity_id: media_player.sonos_den
• service: sonos.join
  data:
  master: media_player.sonos_garage
  entity_id: media_player.living_room
  mode
  : single
  alias: Sonos Join Example`

What is the media_player.join equivalent example?

service: media_player.join

data:
  group_members:
    - media_player.sonos_den
    - media_player.living_room

Thanks, your post was helpful as it gave me the confidence to push the update button
After I migrated, to HA 22.8, I discovered the UI input box for medi_player.join was enhanced for grouping and the new process seamlessly joined the sonos entities. The code was identical to your example, and all was good with this part of the HA 22.8 update.

Why am I getting this then? Stopped because an error was encountered at November 6, 2022 at 8:39:09 AM (runtime: 0.01 seconds)

Entity media_player.garage_2 does not support this service.
