SonosControl

TODO

• optionally scan the network for devices, because discovery is not reliable, as already visible in the official clients

• convert from String to the StateVariable types which actually send XML sniplets

• Implement the grouping stuff to finally implement my auto-joining

About

A Java API and a simple command line client for controlling the SONOS.

Usage

$ buildr package
$
$ # Example usage:
$ java -jar sonos-control-cli/target/sonos-control-cli-0.0.1.jar  start Esszimmer

Goals

Java "On" Button

To start with, I want to achieve a simple button which does the following:

• Connect all visible Sonos Devices, using the biggest current group or the first currently playing Sonos as the main device in the group

• If there is no currently playing device, still group all devices together, and start playing a preset station (first step: hardcode ndr2)

Android "On" Button

Ideally, create an android app which only does the above If possible, act like the "On" button on start, show a short success (or dont) - and quit.

Hardware "On" Button

Implement the above with Arduino or similar

Development ====

The actual Java API is partly generated, it is my goal to generate sonos-control-api and sonos-control-api-clingimpl from sonos-control-api-generator The reason is, that the Sonos API contains many calls and types, and I think that generating it will lead to a complete Java API a lot faster.
