Master-slave group (MSG)
A logical grouping of up to six Sonos devices on the ise smart connect KNX Sonos. Precisely one
master and up to five slaves are defined for each master-slave group. An ise smart connect KNX
Sonos enables the management of up to five master-slave groups.
Master
For complete control of a Sonos device with KNX, it must be defined as the master in an ise smart
connect KNX Sonos. You can define any desired Sonos device also seen in the original Sonos ap-
plication as the master. A master allows you to control music playback by sending commands such
as Play, Pause, Stop and Next Track. You can also select the source of the music playback, e.g. a
playlist. You can also set the volume (absolutely or incrementally).
A master specifies the music for the slaves of its master-slave group. The requirement for this is
that the slaves are activated for the respective master-slave group. An example showing the activa-
tion and deactivation of slaves in a master-slave group can be found in Section 4.2 – Dynamic
group creation (general).
Note: It is possible to define the same Sonos devices as the master in multiple groups and thus to
control more than five Sonos devices with one master. It is thus possible to place up to 26 devices
with an ise smart connect KNX Sonos into a group and have the same music played.
Slave
Slaves are Sonos devices which are assigned to a master in the ise smart connect KNX Sonos. Up
to five slaves can be assigned to a master in a master-slave group. With slaves, the control options
are limited (volume). The music is selected by the master. It is possible to define the master of one
master-slave group as a slave in another master-slave group.
