When I kick off the “play the [pick] favorite” the music starts playing, however when I then check the “is playing” card or the “playing” variable it registers as False.

However when I run the “play” card between “play the [pick] favorite” and the check it does register as True. The actual music playback is unaffected by this “double” play command.

The workaround is simply to add the play card as an extra step but this feels like a bug to me

I think this could be related to an ongoing Sonos app issue within homey. Im not sure if this is part of that issue anmd when the fix is coming but its not been working well for a few months now

there’s a test version (v6.6.6.) in the app store, maybe it fixes the issue
