How does Brilliant integrate with Sonos?
Once you connect a Brilliant Control over the same WiFi network as your Sonos, we find your Sonos, and you let us know what room it is in.
The Control in that room will now have the Music icon up top - just tap it and you’ll get all the Favorites available on your Sonos Account.
If you want to open a Spotify or Pandora channel, just make it a Sonos Favorite and it will show up on the Brilliant Control.
Brilliant supports Sonos Groups, so you can choose to play your selection on all the speakers in the group.
You can also control Sonos that are in other rooms, as long as they have been connected to the Brilliant Control and added to the rooms of your choice.
Setting up Sonos
Before you begin set up, make sure your Sonos is set up through your Sonos app first and connected to the same Wifi as Brilliant.
1. Tap "Home".
2. Choose a room.
3. Tap "Add New Device".
4. Tap "Sonos Music".
5. A screen will pop up "Finding Devices".
6. Once the device is found click "Continue".
7. Tap the Sonos you'd like to add to the room and follow the remaining screen setup instructions.
Sonos Now Playing Widget
Your Brilliant Control can display a Now Playing widget on the lock screen if there is a Sonos actively playing in the same room. Learn more about this widget here.
Sonos Group Management
You can group and ungroup Sonos devices in your home directly through your Brilliant Control(s). This is currently in Beta Testing.

How do you connect to a hidden network?
Is lutron caseta on list for integration?
Sonos has been working great when I first added it. However it now says Sonos is offline. I can play music to Sonos via the Sonos app or Spotify... it's just the Brilliant controls that loose connection with it.
I’ve been waiting for true group management direct from Brilliant control. I hope it makes it out of beta soon. I am willing to be a beta tester for this functionality.
