I have hr church bells that come on each hour and some rings are only 20 seconds. Etc and play for a whole minute since it only allows minutes. I it should be very easy to also add seconds. I know I must be the only one out of the 20 million users that ever have church bells that come in on the hour but it be very nice to be able to have it in seconds since all of my clocks alarm Bells come on for seconds not minutes

How do you play the chimes through your SONOS system? If these are files, you could edit special versions for SONOS play that pad to fill the minute with silence. You could also add some silence at the front end, if necessary, to better align with other devices.

i had a Grandfather who built and repaired traditional, wind up, striking (and cuckoo) clocks. He worked out of his home and tested clocks after repair. At midnight and noon it was pandemonium.

How much do I have to pay to have this change made? It seems so simple to add another 2 digit of seconds to the alarm playback.

My church bells are in YouTube music playback and not allow to edit and put silence before or after to make it play a full minute. It seems that adding 2 digits after minutes would resolve in allowing seconds for duration. I am willing to pay to have this done by your sonos developers!

Using either SoCo or Home Assistant you can schedule play on Sonos equipment, you can also issue stop or sleep commands. In both the sleep command is set in seconds so after paying it could immediately issue the sleep command after one second if so wished.

Both can run on a Raspberry Pi, SiCo need a small Python scrip but Home Assistant has an easy GUI. My current sleep timer is 4809 seconds 😁
