Question/suggestion about the sonos Node API dependency

Open mattboldt opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

First off, thank you for your blog posts and this library! I found it very easy to get set up and running with very limited experience with raspberry pi and python.

I'm curious about the choice of using node-sonos-http-api instead of something in python, like https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo. My understanding is that by using the python library, you won't have to run an http server on the Pi, which seems less resource intensive. That, and you get to stay in one language.

I'm only looking to display basic information like play status and volume on an OLED, so I'm gonna try swapping in SoCo, but I wanted to ask if you tried it before the node server.
