You guys are gonna laugh at me, but I’m so happy being able to accomplish this finally. There might be ready made solutions, but a long long time ago when I started my setup this it wasn’t possible and after spending countless hours trying to search for solution I gave up and never returned to the topic.
Now yesterday I had a look at it again and with home assistant - I finally have the echo show displaying the music that Sonos in the same room is playing. There might be like ready made stuff, but hey, made it myself and and saved some …
My somewhat overly complex solution:
- I created a HA dashboard for each room (with Echo show) with media player card,
- Alexa media player integration to run a
- custom Alexa skill to open the Silk browser (to the relevant dashboard) when
- automation tiggers of Sonos device state Playing
My dashboards are still a bit ugly and I need to change automation so, that it it triggers only every 10 minutes (no point to re-open Silk for every song), but I AM SO HAPPY! It took only 6 years to accomplish.
