n8n-nodes-sonos

This is the repository for the n8n sonos node.

Setup

Prerequisite: You have to have an n8n node running. It can be either a cloud instance or a locally running instance in a docker container, e.g. on a Synology NAS.

Add node to n8n

Add the n8n-nodes-sonos node to your n8n instance.

Setup Sonos Developer Account

In order to use the Sonos node, you have to create a Sonos Developer Account and create a new Control Integration. The created credentials will be required for the creation of the n8n credential.

In n8n create a new credential for the Sonos node and copy the redirect URL. Make sure you copy the correct redirect URI into the allowed redirect URIs of your Sonos integration in your developer account.

Afterwards you should be able to create workflows using the Sonos node.
