So here is an automation I’ve set up. I have a Sonos connect that is hooked up to my home theater receiver so that I can stream music to it. Problem was that I had to go turn on the receiver whenever I started the sonos, change the input, adjust the volume. Lucky for me there is a component for my receiver, and when I put it in my config file, it worked beautifully. I can control power, all inputs, and volume, and it’s super responsive when I do service calls.
So, if I hit play for the sonos in my Hass.io UI, it goes off without a hitch. But I gave it a shot this morning by using alexa to fire up the sonos. The receiver either wouldn’t power up, or only get partially through the actions. I’m not sure what difference there could be between using HA UI to start the sonos vs alexa starting. The trigger is simply if the sonos changes from paused to play…
Any ideas?
Heres the setup
