After making a suggestion on another post that Aqara should create a Sonos integration, I’ve just discovered through reading a Reddit post that one already exists!
So now I know it’s there, I’d like to use it within simple automations but I can’t see the specific option I need.
Use case, when pressing Button 3 on my W100 located in my bathroom, I want the Sonos Roam to start playing BBC Radio 2 (Connected Service in Sonos using BBC Sounds).
Today I achieve this by linking the W100 to Alexa, and on Button 3 press Alexa says “Play BBC Radio 2” to herself and it starts playing on the bathroom Sonos, but would be good to have this all within Aqara.
Actually Alexa says “Play BBC Radio 2” to herself TWICE for some reason (I’m guessing sees one press as two?) which is really annoying and this is also a reason I want to remove Alexa from the process!
@2SC_UK Great to hear you’ve discovered the Sonos integration—let’s see how we can help streamline your automation!
To start, adding Sonos devices to Aqara involves third-party service authorization. You can navigate to the “My” tab in the Aqara Home app, select “Third-Party Service Authorization,” choose Sonos, and follow the guide to complete the setup.
However, the specific automation action to play BBC Radio 2 via a button press (like your W100’s Button 3) isn’t detailed in the current community resources. For step-by-step guidance on linking the button press to Sonos playback, reaching out to customer support would be the most efficient way.
