Welcome to SoCo

SoCo (Sonos Controller) lets you control your Sonos speakers from Python or the commandline.

Python example

When using Python, you need the soco package (see GitHub project).


# Import soco and get a SoCo instance
import soco
device = soco.discovery.any_soco()

# Get all albums from the music library that contains the word "Black"
# and add them to the queue
albums = device.music_library.get_albums(search_term='Black')
for album in albums:
	print('Added:', album.title)
device.add_to_queue(album)

# Dial up the volume (just a bit) and play
device.volume += 10
device.play()

Commandline example

For the commandline interface you need the socos package (see GitHub project).


$ socos list
(1) 192.168.0.129 Living room
(2) 192.168.0.130 Bedroom

$ socos play 192.168.0.129
