Start music playback with a button tap
How this automation works
Quickly play your favorite Sonos music and send a web request at the same time. This Applet runs when you press the Button widget in the IFTTT app, triggering Sonos to set volume, play a selected favorite, and fire a Webhook request. Perfect for starting your audio scenes or automating web-connected devices with one simple tap. Note: Install the IFTTT app and add the Button widget to your home screen. This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
