    Buttons changed 2013.  gen1 to gen2 Connect and Connect Amp was in 2015.  So mute means gen 1, play/pause could be either.

    I have a Play:1 and a Connect. I went on a chat with a Sonos rep, gave my serial number for the Connect to check S2 compatibility, and was told it is S2 compatible. My understanding is that the Play:1 also is.  But when I tried using S2 (on my Mac) I got a message that my “system includes products that aren’t compatible with S2.” The serial number of my connect starts with  B8E9379B…

    Any suggestions?

    Yes. Use the mobile app for this. The Mac app seems prone to 'false incompatibles'.

      Thanks, John.  

      Are you saying I should only use the mobile app, and not try and use S2 on my Mac at all?

      No, I think the intent is to do the upgrade using the mobile app. Once you’ve completed the upgrade process, you should be able to connect without issue using the S2 app on your Mac. 

      I use the S2 app on my Mac, but never tried the update process with it, I used my iPhone to update my system.

        Thanks, Bruce. That worked (upgrading using the app on my iPhone, then using S2 on the Mac itself).
