Hi Sonos Team and Community,
I am writing to propose a quality-of-life software update regarding the Status Light behavior on the Sonos Arc Ultra.
Currently, the settings only appear to allow the light to be permanently "On" or permanently "Off." I would like to request a "Dynamic" or "Active Only" setting that bridges the gap between these two options.
The Proposed Behavior:
The status light should automatically illuminate when the speaker is in active use (receiving a signal from TV, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi) and turn off when the speaker enters idle or standby mode.
The Reasoning (Why this is needed):
Visual Feedback: Users need to know when the device is successfully receiving a signal or connected to a device. "Always Off" removes these helpful visual cues entirely.
Distraction Reduction: Having the light "Always On" can be visually distracting in a dark room when the system is not actually being used.
This feature would provide the perfect middle ground: visual confirmation of playback when you need it, and a clean, dark look when you don’t.
Has anyone else found the current "Always On" setting distracting, but the "Always Off" setting too limiting?
Thanks for considering this update!
