Sonos S2 and S1 in the same network,

[moikorg]

Hi everybody

I have some "new" Sonos (S2) components (Amp, Playbar, Sub, P1) and have also one old Player:5 (S1) component, both on the same local network.

Now I have the node-sonos-http-api server (running in a Docker) discovers sometimes the new environment (S2), but also sometimes the old one (S1). Is there a configuration or trick to select S1 or S2?

Thank you very much for any help
Mike

You can specify a household identifier in settings.json to force it to only associate with a specific system. See more here: #396

That endpoint mentioned to find the household ID no longer exists, but you can use http://ip_of_player:1400/status/zp to find it, the last entry (HouseholdControlID) is the string that you want.

It is also documented here: https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api#settingsjson

Okay, thanks, it worked, once I removed everything after the dot:
HHID_<abc>.<xyz>

only the part HHID_<abc> must be used. <xyz> must be removed

Just to clarify this for anyone who comes here with this problem, I was struggling with this too, and setting household didn't work for me until I noticed @moikorg 's comment and removed the value following the last . in the HouseholdControlID. For example:

If you have Sonos_xeABCDEFGHIJKA.124sdfsdfsgss, use Sonos_xeABCDEFGHIJKA as your household. value.

Do you run 2 configs?

Can you please post a sample where you put in in the settings.js file?

Can you please post a sample where you put in in the settings.js file?

Here's a sample:
