With DAKboard Paid Subscriptions and on your Custom Screens you can set up Sonos or Spotify integrations. This article is here to help you understand these integrations, how the integrations work, and help you know what you can do with them.
Sonos Integration:
Sonos is the industry leader for high-quality home audio and smart speakers, and we’re thrilled to announce our integration. Now on DAKboard you can link your Sonos account, select the desired speaker group, and show off the currently playing album artwork along with artist and track info in a Custom Screen.
NOTE: Album art only works when it is being sent by Sonos from the Web and not when the images are locally passed through your home network to Sonos. Be aware this means some images may fail to show when using this integration.
Additionally for those using DAKboard on touchscreens, or if you have a USB mouse connected to your Display, there’s the option to control Sonos directly from DAKboard. Enable this and you’ll see the previous/next and play/pause buttons (shown above).
NOTE: Your DAKboard OS device does not play the music through its speakers. We only display the Art for Web Based Albums and have the controls as described above.
To add Sonos to your Display, simply open your Custom Screen editor, click the Add A Block button, search for Sonos, and then Add your block. Open the Block Editor from here you can Link your Sonos account, select your Sonos Device Group, and the options you wish to see on your Display. See below:
Spotify on DAKboard:
We’ve added an integration for Spotify and your currently playing track info and artwork can be shown on DAKboard:
As with the Sonos Integration, this will Display your Tracks, it will show Album Art when available, and with your Premium Spotify accounts you can enable the previous/next and play/pause buttons to control your Tracks from your Touchscreen Displays or with a USB mouse connected to non-touchscreen Displays.
NOTE: Your DAKboard OS device does not play the music through its speakers. We only display the Art for Web Based Albums and have the controls as described above.
Just open your Custom Screen, click Add a Block, and Search for Spotify. Add your block, open your Editor, link your account, and select your options. See below:
