Controlling a Sonos device from your Vera (using code from [tt]http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=2001.msg48090#msg48090[/tt] by Gilles with contributions by mcvflorin and futzle and research from [tt]http://travelmarx.blogspot.com/2010/06/exploring-sonos-via-upnp.html[/tt]):

function SOAP_request( server_url, action, servicetype, arguments )

  local file = io.popen ( command )
  local data = file:read( "*a" )

                              'GetTransportInfo'                                            ,
                              'urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:AVTransport:1'                  ,

 luup.variable_set( 'urn:upnp-ap15e-com:serviceId:WAI1', 'Location', tostring( answer ) , 36 )

IMHO it’s a shame that Vera as a device that claims to be an UPnP<->Z-Wave bridge doesn’t work as advertised ([tt]http://bugs.micasaverde.com/view.php?id=1473[/tt]). Vera even gets her own UPnP description wrong ([tt]http://bugs.micasaverde.com/view.php?id=1487[/tt])!

It could be as simple as

local answer = luup.call_action( 'urn:upnp-org:service:AVTransport', 'GetTransportInfo', { InstanceID = '0' }, device_id )

…

Use Whitebear Media Server ([tt]http://www.whitebear.ch/mediaserver[/tt]) for integration of Squeezebox devices via UPnP.

Rewriting the code for LuaSOAP ([tt]http://www.keplerproject.org/luasoap/[/tt]) is left as an exercise to the gentle reader. :slight_smile:

So, does it work?

I don’t own a Sonos, but I’m interested in one or four.

How does the above code work with a sonos?

#3

The Lua SOAP code does work with a ZonePlayer 120.

The [tt]luup.call_action[/tt] code does not work due to bug #1473.

#4

@Intrepid

I’ve returned the Sonos ZonePlayer to the dealer, so I won’t be able to do further testing and coding for Sonos devices.
