Need at least node 7.5 for sonos2mqtt to work

Hi,

I had some problems running sonos2mqtt on node v6. I got error message listed below:

pi@raspberry2:~ $ node ./sonos_test.js
/home/pi/node_modules/sonos/lib/sonos.js:66
var implicitListen = async function (event, listener) {
^^^^^^^^

v6.10.0

When I upgraded to node 9 it all worked. Seems this is related to async package that at least needs node 7.5

you where right that should be in the readme. Like it is now 👍

You enjoy using this bridge?

This bridge works great, I love it!
One question though: when you send a "pause"command to a Sonos device you get an event that the device has been stopped instead of paused. Is that correct?

Apperantly it depends on what’s playing.
If you’re playing TuneIN you cannot pause, since it is live. Playing Spotify would allow you to pause the music.

You are absolutely right! I was indeed using TuneIn. Using spotify shows the state "paused".
Thanks for your quick response.
