SoCo 0.17 release notes

SoCo 0.17 adds a single new feature and updates SoCo to work on top of the API changes that Sonos introduced with the 10.1 software update.

Warning

The changes to SoCo to accommodate the Sonos API changes as of version 10.1 are backwards incompatible. This means that if SoCo is updated to version 0.17, then it will be necessary to update the Sonos software to ≥10.1 at the same time.

SoCo (Sonos Controller) is a simple Python class that allows you to programmatically control Sonos speakers.

New Features and Improvements

• Add the is_soundbar property to the SoCo class to indicate whether or not the current instance represents a Play:Bar, a Play:Base, or a Beam and, when appropriate, enable features like Night and Dialog mode. (Pull request #637). (Fixes #633).

Bugfixes

• Fix parsing of favorites which was broken as a consequence of API changes in Sonos software version 10.1. (Commit 58efcb6)
