I’m looking for advice on how to use my local music library for a shuffled smart playlist on my Sonos system. I enjoy having background music throughout the day and want to keep it fresh without relying solely on Spotify. My setup includes Home Assistant, Plex, Music Assistant, a Roon server, and Sonos, all linked to a shared drive with thousands of local tracks in various genres.
Is there a way to create an automation in Home Assistant that plays a random instrumental jazz track from my local collection at the push of a button? While Roon’s “focus” feature is great, it doesn’t seem like the bookmarks are available via API. Music Assistant looks promising, but I haven’t found a smart playlist feature.
Does anyone know of a Roon plugin or a Home Assistant Community Store (HACS) integration that could help? It feels like a waste not to utilize my extensive local music library.
