Very cool! I’ve been considering how to do presence detection in this place. I’ve turned Raspberry Pis into bluetooth beacons that detect our phones before, for example. Motion sensors seem like a good way to do it, though I’d be worried about the dog triggering them.

The idea of changing the master through the day is clever. I may have to integrate that into my Home Assistant setup. Definitely given me some things to ponder before the next post!

My setup is nowhere as complex as this, and considering the effort you’ve put into this, I’d highly recommend looking at utilizing motion sensors to have the music follow me. As a source of inspiration on how to achieve it with HA and Sonos, take a look at Phil Hawthorne’s guide – should be extendable to your setup. [link to philhawthorne.com]

What I love the most about it is that is so hands free and uses hardware I already have. Not having to pick up a phone to join a speaker to a room whenever you enter for short periods of time is great – mine is set up with the bedroom as the master in the AM, and I switch the master to the TV whenever it’s turned on – so if I need to run into another room quickly to grab something while watching TV, I can still listen in.
