Android home-screen widget for your Sonos speakers
8 followers
Home-screen widget for Android that controls your Sonos speakers without opening any app. - Play/pause/skip + per-room volume - Up to 5 tappable favorites (Spotify, Apple Music, TuneIn, etc.) - Spinning laser-disc animation of the album cover - Home Theatre / TV mode detection with EQ animation - Auto Wi-Fi + household re-sync - No login, no analytics, no subscription - $1.99 one-time Works with any Sonos speaker over LAN. No cloud dependency.
One thing I'd love to see is a quick-access "group all speakers" toggle right on the widget, so I can throw the same track playing in the kitchen to the living room without opening the app. Would make whole-house listening way smoother from the home screen.

Great suggestion Hatun — and good news, whole-house grouping is already in
there today. Tap the room chip on the widget → "Add rooms" and you can pull
every speaker into the group without opening the Sonos app.
That said, a true one-tap "Group everything" shortcut sounds even better. I'm
adding it to the next update — a long-press on the room chip that instantly
joins all discovered speakers to the current room. Will ping you when it ships.

Added - Available on google store as well now
one thing i'd love is a sleep timer built into the widget itself, maybe a long press on the now playing artwork to fade out a room or group after 15/30/60 mins. super useful for falling asleep with music and saves me opening another app

Love this one — falling asleep to music is exactly the use case a home-screen
widget should own. Sonos supports sleep timers natively over UPnP so I can
hook right into that.
Long-press on the widget itself gets grabbed by Android for the widget menu,
but a dedicated moon/timer button in the expanded row with 15 / 30 / 60 min
presets is very doable. Adding it to the v1.9 roadmap.

Hi
The sleeping timer will be available on version v1.9.10 :
Would love to see a quick swipe gesture to skip tracks directly from the widget without needing a separate tap target, feels natural on home screen tiles and would save a step when cooking or working out.
@sudewvjf
Really wish I could give you this — swipe-to-skip on the widget itself would
feel amazing. Unfortunately Android home-screen widgets are locked to tap /
click interactions only (no swipe, no drag, no long-press for arbitrary
gestures — an OS-level restriction that also blocks apps like Spotify's
widget from doing it).
Thanks for the feedback!
