Master-slave group (MSG)
A logical grouping of Sonos devices on the KNX Sonos-Gateway. Master-slave groups brings Sonos de-
vices together, so that music can be played in all the master-slave group's rooms in synchronisation. If
several rooms form part of a master -slave group, they behave as one room with regard to control.
Risk of confusion
The term "group addresses" commonly used in KNX has nothing to do with master-slave
groups, Sonos groups or similar.
Music
Music is used to refer to all types of audio in this documentation. Obviously, you can also listen to other
media, such as audio books with Sonos.
Playlist
Compilation of music. Playlists are configured on the device website. Various additional settings can be
made for each entry within a playlist configured on the device website, such as random playback of tracks
on a Sonos playlist. Playlists which are created within the Sonos software are called "Sonos playlists".
Product database entry
Data relating to a device in the "Online KNX Product Catalogue" of the ETS. The product database entry
contains all data to allow the device to be configured in the ETS. The product database entry is provided
by the devices' manufacturer in the form of a file. The latest version of product data entries of Albrecht
Jung GmbH & Co. KG can be downloaded free of charge from our website .
The product database entry is often also called the "catalogue entry".
Room/zone
A room (zone) is the area within which you listen to music with your Sonos devices. Multiple Sonos devic-
es can also stream the music for a room/zone here. Different music cannot be listened to within a single
room/zone.
Sonos uses the terms "room" and "zone" synonymously.
Repeat
You will find information on the "Play Sonos playlist repeatedly any number of times" function in this do c-
umentation under the search term "Repeat".
Slaves
Slaves are Sonos devices which can only be controlled to a limited extent. Slaves are dependent on their
master. Slaves are assigned to a master in the ETS. Assignment is defined within what are known as
master-slave groups. During running time, the defined slaves are activated or deactivated as required.
Sonos device
Each Sonos wireless loudspeaker is referred to as a Sonos device in this documentation.
