community. i see a dead 4 years ago entry regarding the PIN sonos assigns to each Sonos amp to be use in setup-

what a ridiculous step!!  larger installations make this sooo

painful.

i have customers with 10-16 audio zone amps in a rack.

transferring ownership- having to factory default

resetting 16 of these in a rack is a time consuming task.

getting access to these PINs is such a headache.

u have to disconnect everyone of these amps

in order to read those pins to reset them up under the

new owner.

 

i cannot believe sonos has not found another simpler

solution to getting to those PINs

completely criminal that you force this onto your

customer’s and installers..

Frustrating for you: yes. Frustrating for anyone setting up for the first time: probably. But no other complaints in four years suggests that it’s not too big a concern.

Maybe Sonos could offer a sticker or something with the PIN when the Amps are built in.

But as an installer could you not write down/photograph every pin for your clients future use? Is using the PIN really necessary when using the change ownership function on the app?
