I've never seen a Sonos device let alone tried to control one, but from the error log "Multicast" and "Broadcast" device discovery strongly suggest that the module is expecting to find Sonos on the same broadcast domain (i.e. subnet) as the
processor?
Multicast routing between subnets/vlans is conceptually possible but I would be surprised if Sonos or the module have been tested in such a scenario... As it is one of my colleagues is battling a "foxed again, broke again, fixed again, broke
again" issue with multicast on the 4-series firmware, but I believe that only affects processors with an internal router (CP4N, PRO4, AV4)

Hey guys,
Our customer has a simple sounding request but never having worked with Sonos before I am not sure how to accomplish this.
All they want to do is mute all Sonos players if they get an alarm in.
I have added a Sonos Device Module v3.2.0 for each Sonos.? All have the default parameters except for the player name.
On the module inputs I have only Restart and MutePlayer connected.? Every other connection is commented out.? On the outputs I have Offline connected for debugging.
What makes this extra fun is the Crestron traffic and Sonos traffic are on different VLans, but our IT group can take care of that if necessary.
If I run the code I get:
? 1. Notice: SimplPlus[App01] # 2023-10-14 04:02:55 # CRPCConnectionHelper - Created CIP Transport for ipaddress: 192.168.69.70, port: 41798, adapterID: 0

? 6. Notice: SimplPlus[App01] # 2023-10-14 04:03:25 # Sonos - The system connection failure reason changed to "No Devices Found".
? 7. Notice: SimplPlus[App01] # 2023-10-14 04:03:25 # Sonos - Discovery mode changed to "broadcast".
? 8. Notice: SimplPlus[App01] # 2023-10-14 04:03:25 # Sonos - Broadcast discovery started.
In the error log.? This sounds like VLan issue.
I guess my question is am I doing this correctly, or do I need a full CRPC type connection to get this to work?? Is there an easier way?
Do I need to Restart every device or is one enough?
Thanks
