Should you be a fellow #homeassistant and #sonos user I can only recommend this little addon:
github.com/kalkih/mini-media-p

The mini media player allows you to group you sonos speakers from homeassitant and you don't have to go through their app.

Also, if you use #jellyfin you can control media playback as well from ha :-)

@thewk How did you know what I was doing earlier today?! Seriously spooky dude, literally the same setup but I was using scripts to join them together and play internet radio through them.

@joshfowler The secret powers of a tech nerd ;-)
What do you use as a source for internet radio?

@thewk At the moment I just found some urls I like and made a list in HASS then put a bit of automation around it so when I select from that list it then groups the speakers together and plays the url.

@joshfowler nice 👍🏻
Just started wondering if I could use an integration to fashion some sort of selectable ui item 🤔

@thewk I was thinking about a method of selecting the radio channel that was less precise, like a radio dial that's notched with the different channel options. Maybe even with a static noise channel or two for the old school feels or sleep if you're into the white noise makers. I'm pretty sure I could make a physical one with an arduino and a potentiometer but that might be a little too far and I should just buy a damn radio at that point haha.

@joshfowler
At some point the old radio might be the better option. But you could still attach it to a amp or port or whatever they are called and pipe the audio into the sonos system that way
