Play favourites on Sonos

Zendo supports Spotify on Sonos natively, without the need for Music Assistant.
  • Spotify only works when you have a Spotify Premium account linked to your Sonos system.
  • Spotify Daily Mix / Made For You playlists might not work when the Spotify account used to add the playlist to Zendo doesn’t match the account configured on your Sonos system.
  • Radio: ensure the Radio Browser integration is enabled in Home Assistant.

Play favourites on any other speaker

Spotify support for Music Assistant is in early-access and it might not work as expected. We will release it to the wider public later on.
