Hi Bigdubz, please note that you can't control Sonos from the Deezer app at the moment. But you need to add Deezer as music service to your sonos app and control it directly from the sonos app 🙂 I'll let you know, should this change in the future :)
Hi Anja,

when will you implement directly play deezer app to sonos?

Yes, I know, but using the user interface of the Deezer app or the Sonos app is a great difference. The Sonos app has a terrible user interface.

Using the Spotify app you use the Spotify app, and cast/stream the music to Sonos. I expected this too for Deezer.

I am in the same situation, looking for an alternative to Spotify. Having to manage your music in one app and then use another app to play it on your Sonos system is a dealbreaker.

Deezer Team,

 

4 years in the making. A year ago it was under development still. 8 months ago still under development.

Plenty of Android users, plenty of people paying HD+ with you.

When will this be available through the Deezer App? As a premium service, you should be aligned better with premium home wi-fi... there's enough demand, and only half cooked answers for 4 years from the Deezer development team.

 

Let's go!!!! When will this be available for Android and ISO..

I am in same situation, except that I don't mind the Sonos app. But on the Deezer app I can see Flow, daily mix, suggested playlists I might like. And on Sonos I get Flow, plus some generic playlists that contain lots of tracks that have nothing to do with my tastes.

Selecting a Sonos speaker seems like a simple thing.

Deezer has been working for 3 years to get their Android app to play directly on Sonos? I guess I won't hold my breath. It's a shame, lots of ex spotify customers like myself looking for a new app. I'm trying your hi-fi subscription and it's a shame deezer wasn't ready.

Hello, because of the action of Niel Young, I decided to look for another streaming service. The dealbreaker is now: can I cast to my Sonos audiogear from Deezer? What is the last statement?

Hello everyone, unfortunately this was a project that was pushed back several times. 

We apologise for that, and understand your frustration. 

We are currently re working on it and I am confident this time will be the good one!

Hi @henktannemaat @sfdog 

Thank you for your support guys, we hope that this feature can be launched very soon on the Deezer app :bulb:

The „only“ thing to do is the technical development of the function. 🙄

It has to be done using the Sonos API from within the deezer app. But this seems not to be such easy. They have been working on this for a time but i‘m not sure if they still are. There are a lot of projects to do and imho maybe Sonos direct control has to wait. 

How can I connect to sonos from Deezer app, not the other way around. In other words, navigate through the songs on the Deezer app and have the music playing on Sonos. That’s my question.

Exactly @Superschlumpf! The good point is I believe something will come up with Sonos as our long term partnership with them. Let’s see 🤞🏽

Hey @rmmcginnis, as Johnathan said we are working with Sonos and news will come soon. 

 

How in God's name can this take so long?

You are neglecting your subscribers!

Why??????

This is an Android issue, I take it? I just AirPlay directly from the deezer app to my Sonos.

That’s right.

If I use my Android phone or tablet I have to use the Sonos app to stream music from Deezer to my Sonos speaker.

And if I use my iPhone from work I can stream directly from Deezer while using AirPlay.

Don’t get me wrong, it works fine this way using the Sonos app. I’m glad that it works.

Hey there, @Adam Ogiliev

Yes it is still in our projects! 

It's a shame how you are deceiving your users.

I have been paying your HI FI service two years just awaiting this feature to be available, but I'm almost sure now that it will never happens.

Ok, I'm going to wait 2 months more and then I will be back to Spotify.

That is unfortunately not entirely true as certain parts of my music (like daily mixes, friday releases, monday discovery etc) are not available in the SONOS app.

 

 

With Deezer, you can use the Sonos Controller app to stream your entire Deezer music library to any room in the house.

 

 

I have been waiting for this feature for 4 years!! Now I've lost my hearing! Thanks!

We're working on it 😉 ;)

Good to know. Look forward to this. With the new Alexa integration, Flow, and the HiFi tier, Deezer is almost perfect for Sonos users. Just need that final bit of integration, Sonos Direct Control.

@yoyomum this is not possible at the moment, but we've already passed this feedback on to the team. We'll hopefully have some updates for you in the near future :)

Also please vote for this idea, so that our developers see how important this is to our users

The only way to play directly from Deezer to Sonos is when you use an iPhone or iPad while using Airplay.

But when using this on a Android phone or tablet, the only option is their own Sonos app.

At the slight risk of sounding pedantic, Sonos Voice Control is another, quite viable, option for playing directly to Sonos, and with deezer being one of the few services compatible, it’s a huge plus that shouldn’t be overlooked.

I set deezer as my default service on Sonos, and do much of my listening through voice requests.

Come on guys, please please please get this up and running - this thread has been going for five years now.
