Assuming it’s on the same network as the Sonos, yes, as it matches the information in the supported OS for controllers FAQ. 

thanks for the quick reponse and link to the support OS, i couldnt find it when searching ‍♂️

I note there is a difference between IOS and iPadOS?

• iOS 12 and higher
• iPadOS 13 and higher

Ah. Yes, from Apple’s perspective, yes. Which probably does translate to Sonos’ perspective. Sorry, I didn’t catch that originally, but it is likely the issue you’re having. 

I, too, tend to forget the OS running on my iPhone is actually different than the one on my iPad. Despite the length of time that’s been true….it just hasn’t burrowed its way into my brain. 

I have an iPad Air with iOS 12.5.5 (16H62) and that works fine with the S2 controller version 13.4.1 (build 66423220). Try to switch on Location services and reboot the iPad (switch off/on).

iPadOS only came into existence as a separate brand at iPadOS 13. There was no iPadOS 12.  

Thanks i’ve just tried that and it didnt help :(

im running IOS (12.5.5 - 16H62) with S1 (11.2.13 - 57.9.23010) as i have some OG units that arent compatible with S2.

ah good to know, thanks
