sonos devices in API devices list

[jaburges]

Any update on adding Sonos devices in the API devices list?
Locally on my network I can see the Sonos devices from Mobile and PC apps, however not from the webapp.

Would want to run an app internally within my network but unable to pull the full devices list that app would see as Sonos devices are enabled.

I would like to see this as well, you can get them listed when you connect trough them using your phone. From that moment they will connected to your account for a while but somehow the API sometimes loses them. The web api can't really get to those devices so I think the spotify app remote SDK should be the one who can list devices...

If Spotify App can discover sonos and play songs it isn't technically impossible - so why does API not support this? This is kind of ...

is there any plan to support SONOS devices in web api?

Why is this still not supported. Obviously support for Sonos works as it works as a connected device in the regular app and Sonos devices are also visible on the /v1/me/player/ endpoint. So there does not seem to be any technical limitations.

Could someone from Spotify at least comment on what is holding them back in removing the is_restricted parameter for Sonos devices.

Please provide a response to this query.

Any update on this? There seems to be a documentation ticket at #654 and it was closed without explanation some years ago #671

Since this worked once with my sonos devices, I would like to have some explanation on what is keeping me them form being visualized when calling https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference-beta/#endpoint-get-a-users-available-devices

This site gives some general information though: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/guides/using-connect-web-api/

Devices not Appearing on Device List

Connect Web API relies on local network connections to discover and interact with some devices.

For example, when:

- A new device is added to the network
- A device is in “sleep” mode
- A device on the local network is currently tied to another user account, or
- Other reasons specific to the device

As a result, some devices that appear in the Connect picker within the Spotify application may not always be visible or available on the Connect Web API Endpoints.

Would love to have the Sonos devices un-restricted I can connect to and control them from Desktop, Phone, and Web Player?? But not Web Api, doesn't make any sense.

There are a lot of people wating for a solution. Me,too.
