Sonos speakers and MA

[DevGoran]

I've used automation trigger previously to make the ikea sonos speakers play music. It sort of works fine, I just have to create a new entry for every artist or song, which obviously sometimes is rather annoying.

Recently, I've tried again Music Assistant. However, when trying to play any artist, assist usually tells me that the device may not be turned on or available or that currently something else is playing and it can not do it. This actually broke everything and not even mu automations worked anymore. Had to restore a recent backup.

I'd really like to have the functionality to play any artist or song with a voice command.

Are there any suggestions how to deal with this?

Have you looked at this? https://music-assistant.io/integration/voice/

[DevGoran]

I'm using ollama/llama3.1.

[OzGav]

Yeah so this probably a problem with that. Voice works fine (based on the lack of reports) when using the HA conversation agent

[OzGav]

Also I am assuming you are using the HACS version of the integration because voice is not supported in the HA core version as yet.

One thing I've noticed now is this when copying the custom sentences:

Am I missing something or can I just ignore that error?

[OzGav]

If that is VS code then I have heard it can throw spurious errors
