Hi, I’m using a Remotec 8 button controller to start a Radio station on my Sonos, quite basic to be honest if I click on this button it works fine but there is a delay from about 7 or more seconds. This is also with a Aqara button or Philips remote, or HomeyDash, so I don’t think it’s the Remotec remote itself, the Homey app is a little more responsive but to be honest also not as fast as the Sonos app itself, is this normal behavior?

I can only speak for myself, this is Normal behavior. I think it has to do with the stream. Some streams work fast, some slow. I also have the remotec. The flows for my bulbs work instantly ---

OK same behavior here, lights are directly Sonos has a delay, but seems to be normal then, thanks! ---

Hi, I know this has not directly to do with Homey, but because my wife hates the Sonos app 😜 and HomeyDash at the moment just to limited is, i had a look at Home Assistant and I have to say I’m impressed! I’m not a developer and also no designer 😉 but creating this Sonos DashBoard took me about 30 minutes, very happy with it to be honest and the best the wife also 🤪 to come back to the topic, Sonos acts now almost instantly just as fast as with the normal app so, I tried true Homey also again and still the delay’s are there so, and I don’t want to conclude anything here but maybe it’s the Homey Sonos app that’s causing the delays? ![IMG_1307](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/c/3c589a254b62c78310b35841fd1c3fcb30b70bd6.jpeg) ![IMG_1308](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/a/fae99aa6bcc1e507ae09a3bdd956f239a2b08759.jpeg) ![IMG_1311](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/d/4d5e7010cd0e5d2bd2cb127708cdda87c1476fcf.jpeg) ![IMG_1309](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/4/54395f1ed04d9ec42aafc6b188662803d398b627.jpeg) TV, HomeyDash, HA and DakBoard provides a nice dashboard in my office ![5D2B909A-B7F4-4426-A288-5647C9617C03_1_105_c](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/e/deb3c90d58ed9adceccbab205ae49be21cc46cf7.jpeg) ---

That look awesome, @Danny_Mertens! How did you make that dashboard? ---

Wel to be honest was quite easy, the amazing HomeyDash we off course already have ;-), I use Dakboard ([https://dakboard.com/site](https://dakboard.com/site)) for my Calendar, the view you see on the TV can be created with the free version but for a couple of $/month you can created a quite good looking easy customizable dashboard that you can stream to a Google Hub with a Homey flow for instance, in my opinion Athom should have a look at this! 😛 because this is awesome! Missing only a good Sonos player here, so build a small dashboard in HA, ( [https://www.home-assistant.io/getting-started/](https://www.home-assistant.io/getting-started/)) was new to me and I’m not a developer, designer so was a bit worried for that, but to be honest the setup, configuration (click and play) was less than a hour work on a old Raspberry Pi 3 that I had laying around . After that you just add the plugins for Sonos, Hue, Netatmo and… to HA (click and play) and some other plugins install the plugin HACS ([https://hacs.xyz/](https://hacs.xyz/)) and everything is directly there, very impressed! after that I just build a small dashboard, mostly copy and paste to be honest Put my old Raspberry Pi 2 on my desk TV, use chromium and just load the webpage’s from HomeyDash, HA and Dakboard and that’s it!
