I have a playbar and i can see all relevant entities for the treble bass etc and can successfully control from the media widget on the dashboard. Even favorites show up in selectable media but i would really like a toggle switch to select TV as a source but that does not appear to be exposed as a selectable item.
Any clues please?
Yesterday as I was playing around reading up on the fancy sonos card thinking I’ll just install that instead. Then Source popped up in the Lounge Playbar widget so didn’t feel necessary. And today it’s gone again so back to researching Phils card.
If I select TV via Official Sonos App, the Source selector appears in the widget but refresh HA App later once it has auto deselected and source has gone grrrr.
Anyone know how to make this permanent? Some code to add to the widget?
I have spent last few hours installing HACS and PunxaPhils Sonos custom card which is excellent and with a bit of YAML’ing, I now have a fully functioning Sonos Controller Dashboard. There was some rapid learning going on. I have dealt with html in the past and the old spacing / indents issues tripped me up a few times but the editor is pretty good at guiding you.
Could not for the life of me get the horizontal-stack to work. All 3 panes overlapped each other with no way out of it so deleted everything again and just added 3 cards manually and they are now stacked on top of each other.
I’ll save that solution for another day.
Is the custom-source: TV going to disappear over night I wonder?
Last update tomorrow if it does
I would heartily recommend the custom sonos card. It is excellent, but bizarrely, the normal media widget still has the custom source available for selection.
I will continue to develop my YAML to enhance the visual appeal of the custom card (custom icons not showing up atm which is annoying).
I consider this post as closed. Guess you learn through tinkering.
Hope this helps others locate the TV source in Sonos cards and dashboard elements
