Worked great until SONOS app remake mid-2024
Good tool for home automation and iOS shortcuts, at least until SONOS reinvented their app (no thanks SONOS)... now the functions do not function.
WOW
This new update with the live activities is literally perfect, thank you for the update! In the future it would be phenomenal if we could somehow auto trigger the live activity if the speakers start playing.
Really great! But
Can you please add mic control? Thanks! I use Soro daily in my shortcuts.
Valuable & Useful
After buying more fully into the Sonos ecosystem I was looking for an application to help me tighten the integration between my Apple HomeKit based smart home and my multi-room Sonos system. This app has provided me so much value allowing me to set up shortcuts for preset volumes and equalizer settings and use these shortcuts on my Apple devices and via Siri. I guess one could build these shortcuts themselves, but this app has accelerated the process and removed any challenges in the development process. Due to this app I have built out an entire infrastructure for multiple rooms in my house in the time it would take me to build out just one room. Thank you for the great work, and I highly recommend exploring this application if you are both an Apple and Sonos user!!!
The app I’ve been looking for!
I have a Sonos system as well as a HomePod, but was never able to control my Sonos speakers via Siri Shortcuts. Now I can! It’s been especially helpful as I just purchased a record player, and using shortcuts to switch between line-in and TV inputs with additional volume micro adjustments is something I was hoping to achieve. Soro does just that!
I needed this!
I needed this so much. Thank you this is so helpful!
Fast Custom Local Actions for Shortcuts
I’m so pleased to have found this app which fills a big gap for Sonos fans. It only works on your local network but that makes it much faster than cloud-based options and you only pay once rather than every month. Support is great and it uses smart, thoughtful design. This is only for those who are familiar with or are willing to learn to use Apple Shortcuts.
Walkie talkie broken… Edit: found a workaround.
Walkie talkie shortcut simply doesn’t work when default Normal audio is selected. After changing to high quality audio, it works.
Great when it works, frustrating when it doesn’t
This has really changed the game for our nighttime routine, but it often requires that we re-choose the speakers within the Shortcut’s settings.
