SONOS - be able to control SONOS via Deezer App instead of SONOS App

@Jordantb 

Just realised I can stream directly to Sonos through the Deezer app now! :)

How does it works ?

Does this feature have a timeframe yet or is it in a ‘nice to have queue’ indefinitely?

Evaluating to finally move from Spotify (even more since the raise of monthly fees) and Deezer seems to be the best competitor out there (vs YT Music, Tidal or Amazon. Apple not an option for me as an Android-user). 

Spotify have some unique features that I could manage without even though they are nice to have (Google maps integration and Android alarm clock integration), some of my favorite podcasts are missing in Deezer but no problem with a podcast app. Deezer handles Garmin Music as well which is needed. 

At home it is Sonos all the way for me, and even though the integration in Sonos is ok (so is Spotify), I never use it. Why? All content and functionality is not there. But more importantly, one gets used to the native app since that is what I use most of the day, when training, commuting, working etc. So at home it is native Spotify app all the way. Sonos app is only used used when I absolutely need it (like speakergroup management). I now realize how much I miss the “Spotify connect” feature in Deezer Android app.

I will most likely not continue after my 30 day trial until this has been resolved. The lack of the smaller features I can live without but all together there are to many advantages in Spotify to me for now.

I've just arrived at Deezer and would love to control Sonos from inside the Deezer Android app

Deezer has been talking for a long time about deep integration with Sonos but nothing happens.

I've just taken out a free trial with Deezer Hifi. As you haven't bothered to add this important feature, I will be cancelling my trial now. I wondered why I didn't like Deezer, now I remember. Back to Amazon music HD for me.

Except that Amazon HD is limited to 320kb

This would be great, I think not too hard to do either, for instance iBroadcast have just launched this feature and from what I understand they are a very small organisation, so surely Deezer could offer this? iB is a great place to store your personal library by the way for those that are looking for a replacement for Google Play Music

I’m currently on trial Deezer Premium to early June 2021, at which point I’ll need to decide whether to do paid subscription, or switch to Spotify - the latter being potentially more attractive due to the integrated control of SONOS speakers / speaker groups.  We have SONOS speakers spread throughout the house.

PLEASE! Deezer … put more effort into implementing SONOS control similar to Spotify, as I would in that case prefer to do your upfront annual subscription.

I’ve been using Deezer for years, but the lack of said integration with Sonos is becoming more and more annoying to be honest. Seeing Spotify users easily switch from e.g. playing music in their car to Sonos (having the same playlist/queue) makes me rather jealous. Really hoping this feature will be added sometime in 2021, otherwise I’ll have to consider moving to Spotify 

Any ETA on this feature?

Yes please!!

Just signed up for Dezzer and the one glaring issue was this...no support for streaming to Sonos from within the Deezer app. I see over a year has passed since this feature was going to be added in the ‘near future’. Can someone from Dezzer now address this directly with a date for this feature?

Thank you.

I can stream to my sonos speakers from within the ios app

Audio Output > Airplay & Bluetooth > Sonos Speaker

?

Cannot see any. What sonos component type is that ?

Sonos Amp in living room HiFI

Sonos Beam and 2 x Play One in living room surround 

Sonos Play One in Kitchen 

Somos Roam

i can play audio to any of them from my Deezer app on iOS. 

I took deezer a there is still no casting song from deezer to sonos. Spotify has that.

In deezer in audio exits, no sonos speakers at all.

while spotify has that.

When will this be implemented already??

@frike0 Waiting for that as well… I assume the embedded Deezer Sonos app just needs to be updated, which takes more time than on your regular devices. On a plus note, I see the Win 10 app has been updated as well, so Deezer Connect works on my PC!

Good news… 😎

Roll out for deezer connect with Sonos starts in France. 

Actually I have to say that news are not that good. Apologies for the misinformation coming from one of my replies in a Sonos related thread in the community.
Sonos support for Deezer connect is not available in any country yet and there is no ETA either.
What we recently launched in France and the US was Deezer on Sonos Voice Control and support for the Flow Moods.
As soon as I have information regarding Deezer Connect I’ll let you know

@Rudi 

Hey everyone,

We're pleased to let you know that this is being developed as part of our 'remote control' feature this year. I'll surely share more details once I have them, in the near future.

Year finish with no more news.
