      Hi @tbouron,
      Great idea to simplify SONOS integration installation!
      Your module works for me, and I like that it updates the data almost instantly comparing to other modules that do it on schedule.
      But in my case your module constantly thinks that something have updated in SONOS groups, even if nothing is currently being played. So it constantly updates the groups, sets listener, causing high CPU utilization by Electron.

        Hi @eliah, thanks for your comment!
        The module looking for groups regularly is by design: there is unfortunately no event when groups changes therefore they are pulled every 5 seconds. The listeners are set only when groups have changed.

        I checked on my mirror and cannot see a difference of CPU usage with or without the module enabled. How “bad” is the CPU hog on yours?

          @tbouron,
          In my case it seems that the script always consider that groups have changed, but that’s not true in fact. The log is full of repeating lines like that:

          And as I said before, actually all speakers are paused so nothing is really playing.

            @eliah That’s interesting, it would suggest that the group IDs are not consistent (as groups are cached by IDs) which obviously shouldn’t happen. I’m also wondering if targeting a random device on every scan has any implications on this (but it shouldn’t, at least I cannot reproduce this on my own network)

            Would it possible for you to test a different version? I would like to see how it can be mitigated.

              sure, I can test if you have any ideas why it is happening.

                Hi @eliah. Can you try the version on the branch fix/group-scan and tell me how it goes ?

                You would just need to go into the MMM-Sonos folder and do:

                git fetch && git checkout fix/group-scan

                Thanks :)

                  @tbouron Beautiful module. How can I get the album art and Rooms that are stopped to also show up? What other info can I display?

                  Thanks

                    Hi @Jas and thanks!

                    Both of these are not supported. The concept of the module was to have a Sonos now playing... module with minimalist design hence:

                    • only vital information: title, artist, album (can be toggled), metadata: room, volume and track length (can be toggled)
                    • no album artwork
                    • show only rooms where music is playing, otherwise show nothing to avoid clutter

                    It would not be too hard to do all the above, but I don’t plan to do it anytime soon because of the concept.

                        @Jas No problem. Feel free to add an issue on GitHub. If enough people really want it and +1 the issue, I’ll consider doing it ;)
