I have just gotten a Sonos Play:1, but I noticed that there’s only “set volume to Y”, not a “fade volume from X to Y”, which would be really nice. Let’s say that my speaker is off, I would like it to follow this flow: 1. Set volume to 0 2. Start playing 3. Fade volume to 50% 4. Fade volume to 0% (with 9 minute delay) 5. Pause (with 10 minute delay) Even better if you can set how long the fade should last! Or something like that. Maybe the beta app supports this? I haven’t tried that one yet. ---

Is that an existing option within the Sonos API that (still) needs to be implemented into Homey’s Sonos app? Or is this a feature request for something that is not supported yet in the Sonos API? Anyway, it is already possible to create (a) flow(s) that achieves the same result; check out the transitions app (topic)… ---

In all honesty, I have no clue if their API supports it! I’m going to check out transitions, thanks! ---

Hi Robbert Did you get it to work? Can you share your flow(s) if you did? ---

Hi Jonas, Sadly, I don’t understand transitions yet, and I have not had the time to find examples or anything. If you figure it out, you’re also very welcome to share 😃 ---

@Robbert Please check this example: > [@Transitions — Flexible time transitions](https://community.homey.app/t/transitions-flexible-time-transitions/443/29): > > Thanks for your work @robertklep Sharing my Sonos Fade-in / Fade-out flows, based on the transitions app. 1.Trigger flow: Flow being triggered and based on the volume level will trigger either the fade-in or fade-out flow 2.Fade in flow: Start fade-in transition, with input: 0-0.1, 30s, 3s; volume level from 0 to 10% (0-0.1), in 30 seconds, 3 seconds per step 3.Fade out flow: create a Better Logic variable (Sonos-Fade-out) to determine the transition duration based…
