voice integrations #128

Hello! I love this project and the integration is fantastic, however I know spouse approval will 100% ride on voice integration with either sonos or alexa, any chance this is on the roadmap?

simojenki commented 1 year ago

Does it not 'just work' like any other music service that integrates with Sonos?

swagasaurus commented 1 year ago

no unfortunately if you go into the sonos app and try to add it as a service under voice integration it is greyed out and says not compatible

simojenki commented 1 year ago

Docs seem to suggest that it should work;

"You can still use Alexa to control playback on Sonos when playing from any service, even if it’s not directly supported by Alexa."

Perhaps there is some flag that needs to be set when bonob registers itself with the Sonos device

While you can pause resume skip etc if you say alexa play it will not use bonob
