Has any one integrated any of the Sonos Distributed Audio Products into AMX with any success???
Sonos is a UPnP based device. I am working on implementing a UPnP stack in Duet. If it proves to be too slugish, Sonos integration will require an external gateway device. I've controlled the Sonos via my code in other devices such as Roku HD1000, Win32, and Linux.
If you don't see a post from me on the subject of Sonos in a couple of months, send me a private message.
Just to bring this back from the dead. Does anyone know if a module has been written for the Sonos? I tried to see if I could control it the other day and I can, but having more documentation would be nice to make full use of all the features.

I've looked into this in the past with no luck. Are you using existing java upnp libraries or starting from scratch?
I did a bit of research for the sonos devices but Sonos tend to keep their info under wraps so its not that easy.
I've just written a Netlinx module for uPnP support for the Linn DS Media Renderer - which has taken a while, to say the least - and now happily controls a mixture of upto 20 upnp media renderers and servers. I have to say that in Netlinx, this is not an easy project the XML parsing alone is a trial!
But back to Sonos, there is no real info available. However, if you fancy taking it on I would recommend that you download the Intel UPNP development tools which will allow you to see any upnp devices on the network and show you the services & devices within the Media renderer/server wrappers.
If you can't find the tools, if you private mail me I can probably find them, zip them and send them to you.
I understand what you are saying regarding Duet. However, I have to say that mine works a treat and for 20 uPNP devices, my module is only 700kb in size. Some of the duet stuff ive seen is huge in size and you have to bear in mind that the Duet firmware itself takes up over 22mb of free volatile RAM, so in big projects you have to be careful how you structure your code.

Unfortunately I cant just hand it out(something about having a mortgage to pay!), it cost me a fortune in development time and I sell it as a finished product - sold quite a few in the last couple of weeks.
I know this thread is old but ... here is what i do
I'm using a Sire control SS1 to control several sonos amp & connects... works fine, a bit pricey but the protocol is super easy ... with their code examples i had mine installed and running under an hour ...

Use Slimboxes that is Open Source and works a lot better

This is why I think a Duet module might be more appropriate.
Paul
Anyway, your choice!
Duncan
Hi Duncan any chance of a copy of your DS module?
Thanks
