Question about Sonos Port

I would like to connect the Sonos port to my T+A E-Series Power Plant MKII system using the 12V trigger. Does this work and if so, how?

Hi SSR56
What do you want to use the trigger for? Normally you need it to switch on a power amplifier, for example, when the preamplifier is switched on. As far as I could see, your T&A is an integrated amplifier and has neither 12V trigger inputs nor outputs. So the answer is no, you can't.
Or have I googled the wrong T&A unit?
Put another way: Even if your T&A had 12V outputs there would be a conflict:
Both the Sonos and the T&A want to act as masters. Both either have nothing or "only" one output. But definitely no input. But to use the 12V triggers you need a trigger OUT on one side and a trigger IN on the other.
I have solved this problem with a "master-slave" power strip. The integrated amplifier is plugged into the control socket. Only when the integrated amplifier is switched on are all the other sockets supplied with power.
