Windows batch file for overnight reset

[philhemel]

Hi folks, firstly HUGE thanks to @pwt for this awesome project!

Thought I'd share the following batch file in case it's of help to anyone else.

Every night I like to ungroup all speakers and reset volumes to a low value, to avoid music in unexpected locations at loud volumes the next day (e.g. after a party the night before!!).

I use a standalone compiled EXE of soco-cli (see discussions/56), but it should work fine with normal Python-based sonos.exe:

================================================
@echo off
cls

echo Changing Sonos Settings...
C:
cd "C:\Tools\Sonos"

Sonos.exe wait 0s ^
: "Bedroom" if_stopped ungroup_all_in_group ^
: "Kitchen" if_stopped ungroup_all_in_group ^
: "Lounge" if_stopped ungroup_all_in_group ^
: "Phil" if_stopped ungroup_all_in_group ^
: "Bedroom" if_stopped volume 20 ^
: "Kitchen" if_stopped volume 20 ^
: "Lounge" if_stopped volume 20 ^
: "Phil" if_stopped volume 20 ^
: "Bedroom" if_stopped mute off ^
: "Kitchen" if_stopped mute off ^
: "Lounge" if_stopped mute off ^
: "Phil" if_stopped mute off ^
: wait 0s

if %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 goto SUCCESS

echo.
pause
goto END

:SUCCESS
echo.
echo Done!
timeout 5

:END

================================================

NOTES:

The main command is ONE LINE:
'sonos.exe "Speaker" command value : "Speaker" command value'
etc, split by the carat symbol for ease of reading/editing. See:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69068/split-long-commands-in-multiple-lines-through-windows-batch-file
The 'wait 0s' commands are there JUST to allow first and last commands to be exact same format as the rest!

I used 'if_stopped' to prevent active speakers from being disturbed while testing the batch file, and to prevent a muted / zero-volume playing speaker from blasting out in the night!!

I found that the simpler 'ungroup' command messed with queues and stopped playback on playing speakers, even if the speaker WASN'T grouped, but 'ungroup_all_in_group' works much better

I trigger the batch file via a standard Windows Task Scheduler entry
