Sonos and Hue Features Request

Feature Requests

I know I have seen other posting about these features but I would like to add my request.

SONOS playlists integration doesn’t work very well. If you activate a playlist in a scene it doesn’t replace the current playlist in Sonos it just adds the song that was shown when you added it to the playlist. In other automation applications (i.e. IFTTT, Alexa and Yonomi) they somehow clear the queue and replace it with the entire playlist.

I know that others have posted about this but it would be really terrific to have dynamic scene availability in Hue (Alexa) and a blink lights ability like the one that is available in IFTTT.

I ask for these features because I really love how HA does many things but still find myself jumping through hoops with my party and holiday scenes with three applications to have everything I want to have happen.

I should point out like many of your new users my yaml coding skills are pretty much non-existent so having these things in the UI would be great!

Thanks, Dan

Well after poking around in the Services section I discovered several useful services that do everything I need with my Hue lights including Dynamic and flashing functions. To those who wrote those services I am truly grateful. I have only been using HA for a month since the Insteon shutdown and have had a bit of a learning curve. But on the bright side I have stopped using IFTTT entirely and cut my Alexa routines in half all thanks to the impressive functionality of HA. To all those who have written all this code - THANKS!

(P.S. If the Sonos part could get some new service actions it would be terrific.)

A way to numerically set the volume.

Clear and replace the queue.
