Using home assistant + Ubiquity + Sonos for some years now, without issues. When starting with making separate VLANS I had some challenges with firewall ports and auto discovery of the native Sonos app. No problem for Home assistant as I connected it with all VLANS.

Just stick with Sonos. You’ll spend a hundred hours trying to get Mopidy or BalenaSound or SnapCast working, and they’ll still be total crap compared to Sonos. I know, I did. I wrote some Home Assistant addons for SnapCast and built a bunch of hacky speakers with raspberry pi controlling them and they sucked compared to Sonos, and I’m a software engineer with electrical engineer background.

Sonos. I have 11, and they work well.

I’m a big fan of my Sonos stuff. It integrates just fine into HA.

sonos will probably the most complete and easiest way to do this through ha. Ikea also has sonus knock offs that are cheaper.

I'll just add to OP's comments on Sonos. If you go to the Sonos subreddit you'd think nothing works but I'll add that I personally do not have any problems. I have a lot of Sonos products. Maybe 14 or so. Several thousand dollars of equipment. Most of them are hard wired with ethernet and I have a Unifi network so maybe that's why I haven't had any issues. But they work very well with HA. There was a bug that arose in HA after the Sonos firmware update but the developers for the integration quickly fixed it and I have no problems again.

I can only your direct question about HA and Sonos integration, and my experience has been flawless. (Others can weigh in on the recent Sonos issues regarding the app update and overall quality of the company. Luckily I have not experienced those issues.) I have 5 Sonos speakers on the S2 app/firmware, 2 Sonos Amps on the older S1 app/firmware, and all 7 work great. They are extremely responsive in HA, even faster than the native Sonos apps. Using HA also opens a lot of automation possibilities. For instance, I set all speaker volumes back to a default a midnight just in case someone was …

Good list. For media players (Sonos) I have few automation that I have found useful: 1) turn Tunein radio / music on when it is time to stop remote working, this is surprising good 2) text-to-speach notifications when sauna is ready and alarmfrom zigbee firealarms (also from carage that in different building) 3) switching right voice input, Sonos zones and volume levels when I turn TV on.

Sonos has one of the best APIs you'll find and they're committed to it- you need a good one to be the choice of pro installers e.g. Creston etc.. So yes, you can use Home Assistant for pretty much everything in Sonos short of setup and admin tasks. There are probably some other advanced features locked away, but for basic whole home audio needs I never touch the app.

Sonos is the only way I’ve found that I can control it either from Alexa or from Home Assistant. Everything else seems to be one or the other They’re not cheap but not *insanely* expensive, and the sound quality is in a sensible good-to-very-good range for the ones I’ve tried (admittedly not the most expensive ones) Plus a decent app, plus airplay, and the ability to play on multiple speakers simultaneously from either Alexa or Home Assistant I’ve been very impressed - it’s not perfect but it works for the most part. The main thing I’ve struggled with is ChimeTTS messages being repeated for …

Sonos and it's not particularly close. A big part of Sonos's business model is them being installed in high end homes with Creston/control4. Sonos doesn't necessarily care about *Home Assistant*, but they maintain extremely feature-rich APIs that allow Home Assistant to tap into them really well.

I'm using Sonos and it has been essentially rock solid for me. Even during last year's app debacle I only had some blips in adding speakers which I was able to get around. I have speakers in almost all rooms but I suspect I didn't have many issues because my speakers are all newer.

As a speaker-only, Sonos works great. No mic :(

Sonos has more of my money than I’m willing to admit. Every penny was well spent and worth it. They went through a period where their app sucked, but they’ve gotten past that, and they’re back to normal. They work well with home assistant. I can’t speak to whatever Denon has, but they generally do a great job with their mid to high end equipment.

Hi! I wonder if it’s able to play the music through Sonos speaker? I have the options to choose my sonos speakers and it starts to play but there is no sound coming out of the speaker. Is this just compatibility issue or should I be able to play music through my Sonos speaker? Google devices works great to play music through.
