Sonoscli
Control Sonos speakers (discover, status, play, volume, group).
Details
Sonoscli provides Sonos audio system control for OpenClaw agents. Use it to discover speakers, check status, play/pause, adjust volume, and manage groups. Ideal for smart home audio automation.
When to use
Use when you want voice or chat to control Sonos (play, pause, volume, groups). Best on the same network as your speakers; pairs with routines or time-based triggers.
The house responds
Sonoscli is the most domestic skill in ClawHub's top ten, and one of the most charming: full control of your Sonos speakers from the same chat where your assistant does everything else. Discover speakers, check what is playing, play and pause, adjust volume, manage groups — the entire audio layer of your home, one message away. Ten thousand downloads say the appeal is not niche.
It is also, for many people, the skill that makes OpenClaw feel real to the rest of the household. Code review automation impresses colleagues; music that starts when you ask impresses everyone who lives with you.
Beyond play and pause
The basics are exactly what you expect — transport controls and volume from chat. The compounding value is in combination: grouping speakers for whole-house audio, and wiring playback into routines and time-based triggers so the morning playlist starts itself and the volume drops automatically at night. Because the assistant also knows your calendar and your messages, the coordination potential runs deeper than any single-purpose speaker app.
Installing Sonoscli
Run the command below from your OpenClaw directory and restart the assistant. The one requirement that trips people up: the machine running OpenClaw must be on the same network as your speakers for discovery to work. Once it is, ask the assistant to find your speakers and play something — the whole loop takes about a minute.

Sonoscli tends to be the first domino. Once chat controls the music, the question becomes what else the assistant should run on a schedule or a trigger — and the answer grows monthly. If you want a home setup designed as a system rather than accumulated as an accident, building routine-driven OpenClaw configurations is part of what we offer.
