SoCo 0.21 release notes
SoCo 0.21 (Released on 2021-01-17), contains significant improvements to the speaker discovery process, which should address most of the common problems that are encountered.
Multi-household Sonos systems can now be discovered and controlled.
The AudioIn service has been added, providing access to Line In operations and events.
A number of additional miscellaneous speaker state controls have been provided, for speaker buttons, fixed volume output, and Trueplay. The battery status of Sonos Move speakers can also now be obtained. The music_source property on SoCo objects provides a convenient way to determine what type of source is being played by a speaker.
SoCo 0.21 is now fully Python 3.9 compatible, requires Python 3.5+, and is no longer compatible with Python 2.x.

Bug Fixes
Improve zone group state caching to accommodate multi-household systems: PR #656. (Note: possible breaking change: if you’ve previously been setting the
soco.core.zone_group_state_shared_cache.enabledproperty, this property is no longer global but is instead now a private property of SoCo instances.)When restoring snapshots, do not try to restore bass/treble/loudness on devices with fixed volume enabled: PR #772.
Ensure that all relevant NICs and IP addresses are included in multicast speaker discovery: PR #767.
