    Feature Request: Long Press to Group

    Hello, I love using this plugin and it has been working fantastically for a long time.

    About 6 months ago Sonos added a new feature "Long press to group". Basically, if there is music playing in a different room, when you hold the play button in a room without music for ~5 seconds, it will automatically group the room and start playing. What is better and different from linking, is it dynamically picks from all your different zones, and it cycles (say you have something playing in the kitchen and bath- when you go the bedroom and press play and hold the first time, it plays from the kitchen, the second time you press play and hold, it plays from the bath).

    Not sure how this is implemented or available in the API, but thought I would bring it to light and see if there might be an easy way to add this functionality.


    How I'd love to use this; I have Lutron Sonos pico remotes on my walls- I want to be able to create an event in homeseer saying- If "play" is pressed and held for longer than 5 seconds, then "Long press to group", just like it does on the actual Sonos device.

    I'm sure many other people could benefit from this too by streamlining automations.

    Here are some links discussing the feature.
