Controlling Sonos to play a particular radio station or MP3

[Gast]

I'd like to be able to control my Sonos so that in the mornings it will play a certain radio station when I go downstairs. I'd also like to be able to play a certain MP3 when my burglar alarm is triggered. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hy,

use browser google chrome. Search this Forum "Sonos" tap on translate. The best topic here is German, sorry.

There is a good Thread about sonos and php. This works. You should try.

the guys did a great job with this php class.

Cheers

Hi knokTANK,

After a long time I managed to setup something like this and it works perfectly. You might need some Python knowledge or help from someone but otherwise it's easy.
All starts from a pulse in Loxone. Either morning time pulse or burglar alarm pulse. From this pulse you trigger a request to an http server that you can run in your home (imagine raspberry pi for example). This server receives the request (I have a python http server running) and using socos (search socos github) it starts to play a music. That's all. The details here are the important bits. If I can expand on this in any way or need scripts please let me know. Happy to help.

Thanks for the info you two, I am not that great at coding so I may well be back for further help. Thank you.
