Hi all,
I’m a new starter with homey and have some problems with the flows with Sonos.
I made the following flow:
Now the first time everything works fine, but at the moment i paused the music and i start the flow homey thinks the music is stil on and the “keuken” Sonos will join the “eetkamer” sonos but the music wont play.
Does anyone how i can fix this or if there is a workaround?
Thanks!

Which of the two Sonos apps for Homey are you using? The official (cloud based) app or the community (local based app)?

Thanks for the reply!
I use the official app

My personal experience is that the official/cloud app often gets out of sync with reality when it comes to the playing state (and other aspects). Especially when you also switch off/power down your Sonos speakers (not sure whether that also applies to you).
The only way I was able to get the player state in sync again is by restarting the Sonos app for Homey (via an automated flow).
I found the [community app](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/nl.xiut.sonoslocal/Sonos-(LocalAPI)/) far more reliable in this regard. In addition it offers more functionality and responds quicker, as it directly controls the speakers instead of via the Sonos cloud. If you have a Homey Pro, then you might want to consider switching to the community app

I can confirm @SunBeech’s experience.
