soco: how does the Sonos S2 impact the soco libraries?

[Steve Edwards]

I have been using the Python soco library for over a year now in a project

that allows ZIgbee sensors to trigger sounds on my Sonos speakers.

I have been seeing in recent months that Sonos is introducing and recommending

switching to the Sonos S2 app and OS. I presume by OS it means to operating

system in the speakers themselves.

My python code is currently using soco 0.19.

Question:

- will the soco libraries suffer any impact in upgrading my Sonos app / os to Sonos S2?

  (i.e. will my code I've spent over a year on still work?)

The type of functionality of soco I am using is fairly basic:

- NOT using any music services

- only using functions such as discover(), player_name, play(), clear_queue(),

   get_current_transport_info(), play_uri(my_mp3_server), volume, speaker_ip,

   play_from_queue(), stop(),

   is_playing_line_in, soco_speaker.is_playing_radio, soco_speaker.is_playing_tv

Many thanks in advance.

SoCo works just as well with Sonos S2 as with S1, including with v0.19. So far, Sonos has made little if any change to the UPnP API on which SoCo depends.

From v0.21, SoCo also properly supports mixed S1/S2 systems (useful for those who held back part of their Sonos system on S1 due to hardware incompatibility).

Many thanks for your speedy answer.

Very comforting :-)
