I thought I would start a new thread. Thanks to help from the Forum I have managed to use bluetooth to connect my Moode/RPI4 to a Arcam MiniBlink and play internet radio from my Moode radio station list. This is great for going on vacation. But I use the bluetooth speaker for music via Spotify. So I bought a Sonos Roam to give me both Sonos play and another bluetooth speaker for general use.
I am stuck however at the pairing stage with my Moode/RPI4. It works fine for my Arcam but the pairing just stalls with Moode/Sonos and I have to switch off the RPI4 and restart to get back to the web UI. So keystrokes are: set the Sonos Roam to ready to pair (blue light flashing). Open Moode Bluetooth Control pick scan including LE devices. Pick the Sonos Roam from the list. Hit pair. The Moode UI says reconnect (usually I wait and this happens automatically). But the UI never comes back and the Moode cannot be reached until I switch the RPI4 off/on.
I cannot find much on the Fourm about Sonos. I admit this is rather weird way of working - why not just use the Sonos App? But I have problems with internet radio when on vacation in other countries. And I wanted to use the radios curated by Moode to see if they were more stable. It looks like I need to buy a non-Sonos bluetooth speaker but before I do that I thought I would check the Forum for ideas. Thanks!
