Use Sonos CLI (or a small Sonos HTTP bridge) as an external, network-accessible service that controls your Sonos devices, then wire that service into OpenClaw by registering a ClawHub skill that calls the Sonos service’s REST API. Configure authentication (OAuth for Sonos cloud or API keys/tokens for a local bridge) in ClawHub as secrets or OAuth credentials, ensure the OpenClaw skill runtime can reach the Sonos endpoint (VPN/SSH tunnel or public TLS endpoint), and keep any long-lived state or scheduled work outside the agent runtime. Implement a small, stateless skill handler that validates incoming OpenClaw invocations, calls the Sonos API, handles token refresh and errors, and returns a consistent response. Debug by checking runtime logs, API responses, credentials/scopes, and networking (NAT/firewall).

// Minimal example: an OpenClaw skill HTTP handler that receives a JSON invocation
// and calls a Sonos bridge to play a given player/speaker.
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const SONOS_API_URL = process.env.SONOS_API_URL; // e.g. https://sonos-bridge.example.com
const SONOS_API_KEY = process.env.SONOS_API_KEY; // secret injected by ClawHub
module.exports = async function handler(req, res) {
<b>// Validate incoming invocation</b>
const body = req.body || {};
const playerId = body.playerId;
const action = (body.action || 'play').toLowerCase();
if (!playerId) {
return res.status(400).json({ error: 'playerId is required' });

Direct answer: The PluginLoadError "entrypoint not found" means openclawd looked for a declared plugin entry point for the Sonoscli adapter but didn’t find it. Common causes are the adapter package not installed into the same Python environment, the package’s entry_points (setup.py/pyproject) using the wrong group or name, or an import error inside the adapter that prevents its entry point from being registered.
// list entry points for the group the daemon expects
from importlib import metadata
group = "GROUP_NAME" // replace with actual group from openclawd logs
for ep in metadata.entry_points().select(group=group):
print(ep.name, "->", ep.value)

Because sonoscli only performs local network discovery (SSDP/mDNS/UPnP) and does not automatically register found devices into OpenClaw’s device registry. OpenClaw requires an installed skill or connector to explicitly authenticate and call the platform’s device-registration APIs; a separate CLI discovering devices on the host won’t populate OpenClaw’s registry by itself.

Add your SonosCLI settings either as per-skill configuration under the skills block or as environment variables (preferred) so they don’t appear as unknown top-level keys. If validation still fails you must extend the CLI’s schema or place settings under an allowed extensions/extras object.
// example: environment approach
environment:
SONOSCLI_HOST: "192.0.2.10"
SONOSCLI_TOKEN: "sensitive-token"
// example: per-skill config
skills:
- id: sonoscli
config:
host: "192.0.2.10"
token: "${SONOSCLI_TOKEN}"

Direct answer: Resolve EADDRINUSE by choosing one service to use a different TCP port (either sonoscli or openclawd), or stop the process currently binding the port. Change the port via the service's config/CLI or environment variable, verify which process owns the port, then restart the service so OpenClaw's ingress/messaging port is free when agents start.
lsof -i :PORT
ss -ltnp | grep PORT
kill $(lsof -t -i :PORT)
export PORT=3000
# then start the service, e.g. sonoscli or openclawd
