I'm so underwhelmed by this implementation *no favourites, playlists, Spotify) that I want to disable the feature.

So what's the easiest way to do this?

To be fair this latest Sonos release has been in development and private beta for quite a long time.

Labelling the general release 'beta' is a cynical way of not having to say that it isn't ready, but releasing it anyway because they have some new hardware to sell.

If you need to ask then frankly you haven't taken the trouble to understand how it works and are therefore most unlikely to get them most out of this Beta application.

Have you not used any Alexa skills or smart devices with your Echo devices? You'd remove Sonos devices in exactly the same way.

Sneering posts receive repiles in kind. Plus, they have a point. But hey, if it means less of your sneering, just disable the Sonos skill in the Alexa app.

To be fair you came on here complaining you are underwhelmed with a Beta firmware update and then asked a question that is so blindingly simple that it demonstrates that you either didn't activate the required Alexa skills and discover your devices or you haven't got any Alexa devices and are just trolling for the sheer hell of it or the system is too complicated. Either way you can't reasonably have expected other than snarky repsonses

Of course, I discovered devices. Asking for advice doesn't warrant the replies I got.

FYI: I've been an alpha tester for another system for almost a year. This has all the features (and more) that the Sonos beta offers.

For most users, the Sonos beta isn't much more than what can be done with 2 dots using the alexa pairing (no Spotify, no favourites, no playlist except amazon music playlists). I'd give it 4/10.

I don't think my reply was sneering but this reply begs the question 'why weren't you able to work out how to remove it?'.

I did work it out - I was just asking for advice from the 'experts' here.

Anyway, it's gone ... I'll await the 'coming soon' features before trying it again.
