Can the Beoremote One control Sonos?

Not on its own. Bang & Olufsen and Sonos are separate ecosystems with no official integration. With a bridge in between, such as Home Assistant or a dedicated bridge like Lydbro One, the Beoremote One can control Sonos playback, volume, grouping, and favourites.

Is there an official Bang & Olufsen to Sonos integration?

No. Neither company exposes the other's system, so every method relies on a bridge that pairs with the Beoremote One and sends commands to Sonos over your local network.

Do I need Home Assistant to control Sonos with the Beoremote One?

No. Home Assistant is one route and it works well if you already run it. A dedicated bridge like Lydbro One controls Sonos directly on the local network, with no Home Assistant or extra computer required.

Beoremote One + Sonos

Use your Bang & Olufsen remote to control your Sonos system, playback, volume, rooms, and favourites.

The Beoremote One is a beautiful remote, but Bang & Olufsen never designed it to talk to Sonos, and there is no official integration between the two. The good news: with a bridge in the middle, the Beoremote One can drive Sonos playback, volume, grouping, and favourites. This guide covers the realistic ways to do it.

Beoremote One remote used to control a Sonos system

First, the honest part: there is no official B&O to Sonos link

Bang & Olufsen and Sonos are separate ecosystems, and neither exposes the other. So every method below works the same way: something pairs with the Beoremote One, listens for its button presses, and sends the matching command to your Sonos speakers over the local network. The options differ in how much you build yourself.

Option 1: Via Home Assistant

Home Assistant has a mature, local official Sonos integration that covers playback, volume, grouping, favourites, and text-to-speech, all without the cloud. If you already run Home Assistant, the plan is: get the Beoremote One's buttons into Home Assistant first (see our Beoremote One + Home Assistant guide), then map those button events to Sonos actions. It is a great route if you have the pieces, but it does need a Home Assistant server plus a way to get the remote into it.

Option 2: Roll your own over Bluetooth

Sonos speakers accept control on your local network, so a small always-on computer such as a Raspberry Pi can pair with the Beoremote One and talk to Sonos directly, no Home Assistant required. This is the most flexible route. The trade-off is that you handle the Bluetooth pairing, write the Sonos control logic, and keep the service running and updated.

Option 3: A plug-and-play bridge (Lydbro One)

If you would rather not build anything, Lydbro One controls Sonos directly, with no Home Assistant or extra computer involved. It pairs with the Beoremote One over Bluetooth and speaks to your Sonos system on the local network, so the remote's transport, volume, and source buttons simply work. You can also choose what appears on the remote's display, from Sonos room names to favourites and playlists. It is configured from a built-in web UI, runs entirely locally, and updates over the air.

What you can control

Play, pause, and skip tracks
Volume and mute
Switch between rooms and zones
Group and ungroup speakers
Start favourites and playlists
Via Home Assistant, trigger any automation alongside the music

Which option is right for you?

You already run Home Assistant with Sonos: route the remote through HA.
You enjoy building with a Raspberry Pi: roll your own bridge.
You want it to just work, with no server to maintain: Lydbro One.
