A full media page for RTI's Sonos driver - album art, favourites, playlists, radio browse and search, room grouping and a whole-house Zones view, on any panel that can show a Web Object.
RTI's official Sonos driver has no Web Object. This one adds it: a media page served straight from the processor showing album artwork, track detail, transport, volume, a room switcher, tappable favourites and playlists, radio browse and search, room grouping, and a Zones view of the whole household - on any panel that can display a Web Object, and in any browser on the network. It does not replace or modify the Sonos driver. It sits alongside it, reads the variables that driver already publishes, and fires that driver's own commands, so you keep your existing Sonos setup exactly as it is and simply add a screen to it. Setup is one right-click. Wiring a companion driver by hand means roughly twenty-five cross-driver pickers per room - around two hundred on an eight-room house - and the Sonos driver uses two different numbering schemes at once, which makes it genuinely easy to end up with one room's artwork beside another room's volume slider. SHP: Auto-map from Sonos finds the Sonos driver in the project and fills every picker for every room in a single pass, then reports how many it filled and what it could not. Run it again at any time; it reuses what it made before rather than creating a second set. The Zones view is the part nothing else does: one tab shows the entire household at once, every group as a card, with a GROUP level for the group as a whole and each member room's own level underneath it. Those two behave differently on purpose, and it matches how Sonos itself works - a room's own level changes only that room even while it is grouped, while the GROUP level moves every member together and keeps the balance you have set between them. Favourites, playlists, the room list, grouping and zone volumes are read directly from your Sonos players over the local network, which is why one player's IP address is asked for. That also means no Sonos account, no cloud service and no internet requirement for any of it. The Radio tab searches Sonos Radio's very large station catalogue and browses and searches the full TuneIn directory - Music, News and Talk, Sports, Location and more - with each station's own logo; tap a station and it plays in the room on the page. Radio is the one part that needs internet access from the processor, and it can be switched off. Spotify, Apple Music and similar services cannot be searched by any driver on the processor, as they need the household's Sonos account sign-in - save those as Sonos Favourites and they appear on the Favourites tab. The page picks one of three layouts from the shape of the Web Object you put it in and scales to fill it - tall for phones and portrait panels, compact for smaller landscape objects, full for tablets and larger landscape panels. There is nothing to configure; size the Web Object to suit the panel and the page follows. Each room can have its own page: add ?room= and the room name to the Web Object's URL and that object opens on that room with the room switcher hidden, so a page built for one room cannot be wandered off it. One Web Object per room, all from the same driver - no second driver instance and no extra port. Add &switch=1 instead if you would rather the page merely started on a room and still let the user change it. The page can also live on a layer a button shows and hides rather than sitting on the panel permanently: bind the layer's Visibility Variable to Show Sonos Layer and wire a button to Open Layer, Close Layer or Toggle Layer, with Layer Opened and Layer Closed events so a macro can follow the page opening. Where ?room= fixes an object's room when you build the job, the Show Room and Show Tab macro commands change what an already-open page is showing: Show Room's dropdown lists your own room names rather than numbers, and Show Tab picks Favourites, Playlists, Grouping, Zones or Radio, so one button can mean 'show me the Kitchen's favourites'. Each request is applied once, so the user is free to browse afterwards.
Adds a browser media page to RTI's official Sonos driver, which has no Web Object of its own. Album art, track details, transport, volume, a room switcher, tappable favourites and playlists, room grouping, a Zones view of the whole household, and radio browse and search (Sonos Radio and TuneIn), on any panel that can show a Web Object and in any browser on the network.
This driver does not replace or modify the Sonos driver. It sits alongside it, reads the variables that driver already publishes, and fires that driver's own commands.
Sonos Web Object is written and supported by Smart Home Programming and Automation (Brisbane, Australia), who build and support RTI drivers for integrators worldwide.
The page and the Sonos control run entirely on the local network. These outside services are used:
No other data leaves the site.
?room=, or one page with a room switcher.Every Sonos S2 player that RTI's official Sonos driver controls: Arc, Beam, Ray, Era, Five, One, Move, Roam, Amp, Port, Connect and the architectural range. Both RTI Sonos driver lines are supported - the 5.x line and the 6.x line - and the auto-map works out which one is in the project by itself.
