I finished making my integrated Sonos panel, you can see an image here:

> This post is an extract from a long thread ([Floor plan suggestions](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/floor-plan-suggestions/31230)) which documented my journey in building an interactive floor plan using uibuilder. The project is a work in progress, however all will be explained in the post below. Good bye uncomplied uibuilder So if you have tried out the dashboard nodes and, like me, have either found that you want more out of your dashboards e.g. more precision in placement of UI nodes, more sexy interactive options, and/or you have found some limits on …

What I learned is that if someone (read: you, hahaha) modified your Sonos Plus node to be based on the code in this node, that you suggested I look at using: [node-red-contrib-sonos-notify (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-sonos-notify)

....... the result would be the ultimate Sonos Plus node, something like Sonos Plus+

The sonos-notify node does a brilliant job at handling requests. I think it's doing something like pinging all data in one go every second (maybe 1 request per device), but I can't be sure without looking at the code.

All I can say is that the impact on network traffic when running it is difficult to measure,whereas when I use and abuse your nodes I can see huge jumps in traffic.

I appreciate that you didn't write your nodes to do what Sonos Notify does, but one can dream of the perfect node... that said, well done on such a great effort. Your node is amazingly specified, so you can do almost everything Sonos related and I will be implementing it across more web pages to come.
