Door contact enables dynamic group creation
In this application, a door contact caus es a configured master-s lave group to actuate via KNX. The Sonos
devices then become a master or s lave (as configured).
If the door is opened, the rooms become an acoustic unit: The KNX Sonos Gateway creates a group in which a
Sonos device in the living area functions as the mas ter for Sonos devices in the dining room, thus determining
mus ic playback.
If the door is clos ed, the KNX Sonos Gateway terminates the master-s lave group. Both rooms once again have
their original mas ter and can be operated independently.
