V0.72.0 Integrations

Excuse my ignorance but…
In v0.72.0 Sonos is now configured in ‘Configuration, Integrations’.

What exactly does this mean?
I had Sonos already, does this mean I have some redundant yaml code somewhere now that HA configures it automatically?

If I’m honest I have no idea what the ‘Integrations’ feature does nor what is different if anything, or how it affects me and my previous setup if at all.

An idiots description would be great.

Initially there is no difference. One of the benefits is more device management through the gui. Later on it will enable more complex relationships between a device and all components and platforms exposed from it.

I’d be using the new integration now and cleaning up the yaml. Easier to do as you go than have to do a bunch of stuff later.

[Trying to decipher the typos :slight_smile:] I think you are advising me to take some action - your reason sounds very sensible but I am not sure exactly what action you are suggesting!

My Integrations page shows this and I have a new .config_entries.json file but as far as I can tell nothing else has changed.

I don’t know the details of the sonos implementation but so far most integrations will do imports from the old configurations, meaning there is nothing you need to do and nothing should be different for you.

@Robban, thanks.

Also, I meant my reply to be directed at @DavidFW1960 as he seemed to imply something different but I must have pressed the wrong ‘Reply’ button by mistake, sorry.

There might be some yaml for the old Sonos media_player configuration left.

nah I was just saying to keep up to date and use the integration and clean up your YAML - something I should probably do for my chromecast (but I think I was using discovery previously anyway).

I am running with this new setting in some issues.

  1. The discovery process comes up with a notification, but when I click the link the page for the integration never comes back.

  2. I then used the specific setting for the Sonos config with dedicated host entries, but even then none of my Sonos systems show up.

I turn the logs to info level, but I cant spot anything in there.

Anyone having a hint what I could do to debug it (running HA 72.1 on a Raspberry Pi).

Cheers

Sorry I don’t use Sonos
