Sonos

aid: sonos
name: Sonos
description: Sonos is a consumer audio company whose wireless home-sound systems are controlled programmatically through the
  Sonos Control API — a cloud-based REST API that lets third-party integrations discover a household's players and groups
  and drive playback, volume, grouping, favorites, playlists, home theater options, audio clips, and cloud-queue sessions.
  The API authenticates with OAuth 2.0 (authorization code grant) using the single playback-control-all scope, is organized
  into per-resource namespaces (households, groups, groupVolume, playback, playbackMetadata, playbackSession, playerVolume,
  favorites, playlists, audioClip, homeTheater), and delivers real-time state through an event-subscription (webhook callback)
  model.
