Soro - For Sonos

Been using this app for a couple of years now! I almost never open the Sonos app. My biggest complaint right now is that the live activity information does not persist.. so within seconds of the screen going off I have to keep clicking the refresh button or room that I’m controlling to see what’s currently playing. Please fix this!

After buying more fully into the Sonos ecosystem I was looking for an application to help me tighten the integration between my Apple HomeKit based smart home and my multi-room Sonos system. This app has provided me so much value allowing me to set up shortcuts for preset volumes and equalizer settings and use these shortcuts on my Apple devices and via Siri. I guess one could build these shortcuts themselves, but this app has accelerated the process and removed any challenges in the development process. Due to this app I have built out an entire infrastructure for multiple rooms in my house in the time it would take me to build out just one room. Thank you for the great work, and I highly recommend exploring this application if you are both an Apple and Sonos user!!!

Grain of salt. Used 5 minutes so far. ….but has turned all my SoNo’s into SoYes’s SoFar. My biggest pain in offloading Alexa to HomeKit was the extraordinary negligence in Apples volume options. There’s literally not a way to control volume on sonos by voice….not even with Siri on the appletv activated by the ACTUAL APPLETV REMOTE that has the volume buttons built in (understanding if you had the remote in hand it wouldn’t matter to begin with). HomePods….can control AppleTV great unless you want to send the hdmi command to raise or lower volume. This app does all that and more (so far). I’m crazy about seeing the option to modify sub settings. I do it manually between movies and music to keep balance (particularly when it comes to Atmos content vs non atmos on Apple Music). I was also hesitant about third party add ons because other shortcuts extensions introduce bugs to flush out in addition to the already-hardest-learning-curve smart system available. THIS ADD-ON DIDNT EVEN ASK FOR SONOS ACCOUNT CREDENTIALS. OUTSTANDING. It naturally needs network device discovery permission, but just worked. The UI of the actions is intuitive. 1 and done attempts with the first test runs. Love this. Love it. Love my 5 minutes of childish excitement over something that solves a first world problem. In love. Love YOU (developer).
