SonosRemote

This Swift/SwiftUI (MacOS) demo receives keypresses from a bluetooth remote connected to a Raspberry Pi server and forwards those commands, using unsupported (i.e. unofficial) Sonos API requests, to a Sonos controller (i.e. Sonos speakers).

About the Project

This demo:

• Connects to a specific Sonos controller on the local network.
• Sends the following commands to the Sonos controller: Play/Pause, Previous Track, Next Track, Volume Up, Volume Down.
• Those commands are received from a bluetooth remote connected to a Raspberry Pi running a Socket IO server (Python application).
• Displays a MacOS menu bar application that let you play/pause the Sonos controller. The menu bar application also displays current play/pause status as well as current Sonos volume level (see MenuBarApp.jpeg).
• Subscribes to Sonos events (e.g. monitors play/pause state, volume level).

Prerequisites

• Before building/running this application:

• Install the latest release of the SonosAPI package: https://github.com/denisblondeau/SonosAPI

• Install the Socket.IO-Client-Swift package: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-swift

• Install and run the Python keypress-server on a Raspberry Pi: https://github.com/denisblondeau/keypress-server

• In SonosModel.swift, you need to:

• Set the callback URL. The callback URL is used by the Sonos coordinator to notify this demo of specific events.

• Set the coodinator's name. This is the name of the Sonos Room you wish to control. You can find that name in the Sonos application.

• Set the server URL. This is the Pi server hosting the SocketIO application that is receiving then forwarding the bluetooth remote's keypress to this application.

    private var callbackURL = URL(string: "http://192.168.0.1:1337")
    private var coordinatorName = "Living Room"
    private var serverURL = URL(string: "http://piserver.local:8080")

Testing

Once you have launched this application:

1) Use the bluetooth remote.
2) Use the menu bar application to start/pause Sonos.
