How do I get my Sonos Play:3 to show up in Homekit as a mediaplayer? (lemmy.world)

I've got Sonos showing up in HomeAssistant, as a media player with all the expected controls and info.

I tried going through the UI, creating a new homekit integration, accessory mode, selecting just the 1 single sonos to be included.

This yields me a series of switches in the Home app on my iPhone.

I've tried adding the sonos through an accessory mode entry in yaml to make it mascarade as a TV and a Receiver, but each time it shows up as a "TV"/"Receiver" in the home app, but with only a power button.

I've read through https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homekit none of the troubleshooting tips helped, I heeded all info I could find on media_players, tv, and receivers.

Can any one help me with this? It seems like it should be possible, I really wan't expecting this to give me the trouble it has.

Ultimately I just want to be able to control things like play/pause/skip/volume via siri, if you've got other suggestions to that end, I'm all ears.
