What it does

This skill teaches the agent to use a command-line tool called sonos to control Sonos speakers on your local network. Once installed, you can ask the agent to find your speakers, check what is playing, play or pause music, set volume, or group rooms together. It also covers queues, favorites, and optional Spotify search through Sonos.

Great for

  • People with Sonos speakers who want to control them by asking an AI agent in plain language
  • Developers or home-automation tinkerers who already use the sonos CLI and want the agent to run it for them

Skip it if

  • Users without Sonos hardware, since the commands only work with Sonos speakers on the local network
  • Shared or sandboxed environments where network access is restricted, because speaker discovery will fail and troubleshooting may require changing macOS privacy or Docker settings

Try asking

  • “Find all the Sonos speakers on my network”
  • “Set the Kitchen speaker volume to 15”
  • “Pause the music in the Living Room”
  • “Group the Kitchen and Patio speakers together”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Use the speaker name exactly as shown in sonos discover, or pass --ip if discovery fails
  • If discovery fails on macOS, allow Local Network access for the terminal or host app that runs the agent
  • Spotify search is optional; the rest of the skill works without Spotify API credentials
