sonos-weblinks

This project consists of

1. an NMAP NSE script to scan a network for Sonos devices and
2. an XSL file to style the resulting XML output from the NSE script into a handy webpage with links to web interface items for each device.

The dynamic nature of the scan avoids the need to maintain a static list of links as you add devices or change IP addresses.

pre-requisites

• A host with network access to the Sonos devices
• NMAP (https://nmap.org) installed and working on the host
• The files from this repository downloaded to the host
• A web server installed and working on the host
• Network access to the internet for Bootstrap and jQuery CDN downloads

usage

Execute an NMAP scan with the following syntax:

nmap -sC -p 1400 --script /path/to/sonos-weblinks/sonos-info.nse --open --stylesheet http://webserver.local/path/to/sonos-weblinks.xsl -oX /path/to/sonos-weblinks/sonos_nmap.xml 000.000.000.000/24

Make sure to use the correct path fors your host/webserver and specify the relevant subnet to scan.

You may wish to use crontab to the schedule the NMAP scan to occur on a regular basis.

results

The NMAP scan will create an XML file containing all Sonos devices found on the scanned network. For each Sonos Device the following data is included in the output:

• Model Name
• Model Number
• Model Description
• Hardware Version
• Zone Name
• Serial Number
• Software Version
• IP Address
• MAC Address
• Extra Info (from status page)
• Information about it's position in the STP hierarchy on your network

If you open this XML file in your browser it will use the XSL transform to render a web page containing useful information and links for managing and troubleshooting your Sonos devices. These links include:

• Status
• Support Info
• Device Description
• Reboot
• Tools
• WiFi Region
• Advanced Configuration
• WiFi Control (On/Off/Persist-Off)

Links to reference documents describing the use of these Sonos features are included in the rendered web page.
