It works also with the Sonos app. So I guess it will work with every entertainment system where you are able to play something from URL. Thanks for the great tip! 👍🏼 ---

@DirkG you’re welcome 🙂 Sonos has a integrated Flowcard for this. So that’s what triggered me to find this out ---

Hi, Thanks, this works almost perfectly. The only thing I do not like is that my Chromecast first plays its “wake-up sound” and then the sound-effect I uploaded. Is there a workaround for this? ---

@DGalama nope unfortunately not. That’s in the Chromecast app ---

Too bad, I already suspected that. Strangely enough it does not always play the wake-up sound, but I have not figured out what causes it to play or not play. Probably some time-out. Thanks for your quick reply! ---

Thank you @martijnpoppen . That worked. Happy with that. Now i’ve fixed another problem with your solution when i go to the homey pro 2023 without a speaker. One question. Is it possible to remove the soundboard app from homey when i followed your solution, or will this also remove the sound mp3’s? Thanks again. ---

@Pieter_Pessers You’re welcome! 🙂 Unfortunately that will remove the mp3’s as they are tied to the app itself ---

Yes, existing i have 8 mp3 files before i migrated from HP2016. I just uploaded one more mp3 file, but running the command still the same. Not sure what am i expecting 🤔 from the results . ---

Sorry for the late response. But if you only get back the ID it means that there are no app settings. Can you check the settings of soundboard? 🙂 ---

hmm that’s strange, Can you try to upload an new mp3? Just trying to find out if there is something wrong after migration 😃 ---

Uploaded a few more mp3 still the same, it does not show any sound ID in the Web API Playground. I also tried deleted the Soundboard App, re-installed and uploaded new MP3 too but it is same the same, no sound ID output. Yes, i’ve migrated from HP2016 to HP2023. Not sure if i am only one facing this issue. 🤔 ---

@Shiki it seems related to the new Homey. Can you run the command and send a screenshot of the output? > [@Shiki](#): > > Not sure if i am only one facing this issue. 🤔 Don’t think a lot of people use this tutorial for Soundboard 😛 ---

> [@martijnpoppen](#): > > Homey.apps.getAppSettings() This function isn’t available in the used homey-api on HomeyScript nor the developer playground for Homey Pro (early 2023), it indeed will only retreive the ID and that is it.
