sonoscli

The sonoscli skill allows you to manage and control your Sonos speakers directly from the command line. It provides functionalities such as discovering speakers, checking their status, controlling playback (play, pause, stop), adjusting volume, and managing speaker groups. It also supports listing and playing favorites, managing the queue, and even searching Spotify via the SMAPI interface.

This tool is ideal for automating Sonos control or integrating it into scripts and workflows. It simplifies common tasks such as grouping speakers for a party or quickly adjusting the volume of a specific speaker in your home.

Note that Spotify Web API search is optional and requires `SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID/SECRET` environment variables to be set.
