Crazy Sonos

Want to make someone go crazy with their Sonos player? This repo will help you to make it look possessed! A project that started when I was testing the SoCo python library.

Things you can do

set_random_volume_for_random_time()

Set the volume of the Sonos speaker to a random value for a random amount of time

set_BOOM_volume_for_random_time()

Set the volume of the Sonos speaker to the max volume you choose for a shorter random amount of time

There are also check_playing_status that checks if the speaker is reproducing something (if not it restarts the reproduction), check_time_to_run that allows you to set the maximum script execution time, check_initial_status that checks if there is reproducing something as soon as the code is run (if not it puts a radio on), and take_snapshot that is useful to restore a previous backup reproducing session (if someone stops the reproduction while the script is running, see check_playing_status that uses this).

To run

1. Clone this repository
2. Install the requirements: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
3. Modify settings.py file adding the sonos_ip_address (optionally you can configure the other parameters)
4. Run script.py: python3 crazy_sonos.py. Right now the script is set to sleep first for 5 minutes then it will start to put a radio if something is not playing and then change the sonos speaker volume randomly according to the settings.
5. ???
6. Profit!
