Need help with understanding what's the problem in my node-red-contrib-sonos-plus flow

Third party integrations Node-RED

Base facts:
I have IKEA SYMFONISK speakers in my wifi. HASSIO recognizes them automatically without any problem.

On my Android, I have used the native Sonos app to set up radio stations and place them in My Sonos. After that, I’m able to see all the pre-set stations in Home Assistant overview GUI:

and

After that, I am trying to make a “proof of concept experiment” from Node RED. It’s now my problem begins.

First of all, the only thing I want to do is to start streaming the radio station P1 (already defined earlier, in My Sonos. Nothing complicated! I am using the Node RED package node-red-contrib-sonos-plus.

I have used example 1 of the example flows in the tutorial updated with my radio station, P1, and IP of my SYMFONISK speaker (10.0.0.21):

Error
Error1515×523 61.2 KB
.

The flow starts with injecting P1 as payload to My Sonos node. Doing that renders the following error: processing input msg:statusCode 500 & upnpError 402 :: Details: Invalid Args.

Something is obviously wrong. But googling this issue hasn’t helped me solving the problem. How can I start streaming P1 radio station to my SYMFONISK speaker by clicking on inject node to start the flow?

Why don’t you just use the home assistant media_player and do the corresponding service calls?
If you can play the radio via the HA UI, then you can also automate this via NodeRed with the same calls.

Very good suggestion for a workaround! I’ll try that!

If you still need help with the sonos-plus node, let me know either by email [email protected] or at my page sonos-plus.
There are several options to play My Sonos items but all should work.
