Sonos Album Art Display talks to your Sonos system using SoCo, a Python library that controls Sonos speakers the same way the official Sonos app does — over your local network, with no cloud service or Sonos account involved. SoCo finds your speakers via UPnP discovery on the LAN, then issues direct requests to the speaker for the currently playing track, album art URL, transport state (playing/paused/stopped), and volume, and sends transport commands (play, pause, skip, volume changes) back to it the same way. The code runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+. Everything happens on your own Wi-Fi network.
