I am trying create a flow to see if my Sonos is streaming a (specific) radio station. But so far I’ve not been able to make it work. What have I tried: - every 1 hour =\> - AND check if Sonos Device Is playing - AND check if Sonos [Tag] equals/contains [MyRadioStation] I tried to add a Logic check to see if a stream contains something to determine if its a Internet Radio/URL/Stream, and not a local mp3/flac file Here comes the trouble: Sonos (or the Homey Sonos app) does not seem to state what if (or what) Internet Radio Station is Streaming. Only when you play a song you can check Album, Artist, Track info. BUT - I thought to be smart and check for Album, Artist, Track info. So if the Sonos is playing AND there is Album, Artist, Track info - it probably will be NOT be streaming a Radio station. But alas, it seems that if you have played a local track (something in your Sonos Queue), followed by starting a Radio/TuneIn stream, the Album, Artist, Track variables are still filled with the information of last track played. I also tried the The Hidden Sonos Web Interface and see if I can use a HTTP GET to compare with a variable. But can find anything useful. Does anyone know a way to solve this / Can someone try figuring out a way fixing this? ---
