Request: Add GroupId to SonosDevice

[orensharon]

I would like to get the GroupId of each SonosDevice similary to the GroupName getter. For example:

manager.Devices.forEach(d => {
  console.log('Device %s (%s) is joined in %s', d.Name, d.Uuid, d.GroupId)
  ....

Another solution that would work, is to add the groupId to the related group events data.

This would be helpful when dealing with Group Events:

const onGroupRenderingChanged = async (data) => {
    const sonosDevice = manager.Devices.find(data.coordinatorId)
    const timestamp = Date.now()
    const deviceGroupId = sonosDevice.GroupId
    const eventGroupId = data.GroupId
    //const groupId = await sonosDevice.ZoneGroupTopologyService.GetZoneGroupAttributes()
    //        .then(attributes => attributes.CurrentZoneGroupID)
    const event = { groupId, data, timestamp }
    events.emit('group-rendering', event)
}

.....
const id = sonosDevice.uuid
sonosDevice.GroupRenderingControlService.Events.on(ServiceEvent, data => onGroupRenderingChanged({ id, data })
....
....

Where do you need the group id for? Cannot oversee it at the moment.

Hi,

I need the GroupId to identify the Group entity in the domain layer of my app.

When a GroupZoneTopology event is triggered, I analyze the changes within each group and emit a corresponding event to update the domain's state.

Similarly, a GroupRenderingControl event triggers another event with the GroupId and relevant data to modify the domain's state.

I'm considering using events like Coordinator to track group changes, but I'm still figuring out the best approach.

I'm open to exploring other solutions if you have any suggestions or alternatives.

Thanks.

Have you checked the events on the manager?

Each player already received updates if the coordinator changes and sets the .Coordinator on the player.
