Note: This namespace is experimental. Some of the functionality may not yet work as documented. Sonos supports audio clips on new players and players that have a microphone. This includes Sonos One, Amp, Port, Play:5 (gen 2), Beam, One SL, Move, as well as the SYMFONISK table lamp with WiFi and SYMFONISK WiFi bookshelf speakers. Keep an eye on our blog for updates.
The audioClip namespace enables your app or hardware integration to play short audio clips on Sonos. You’ll have the option of specifying a custom URL or using a Sonos provided sound. The clip may be mixed with any playing content. Not all devices can implement the commands in this namespace. Devices that support the commands include the AUDIO_CLIP capability in the player object (see the group object for details).
Commands in this namespace are player targeted, by default.
