Unfortunately one of my "friends" connected to my sonos using Spotify connect while at my home and on my network.

I have since placed the sonos in its own network and do a factory reset as well as removing spotify.

But my "friend" can still connect and play music when they arent here, which they find extremely funny especially at night. We have resorted to having to unplug the sonos at night.

I did find another thread from 5 years ago but with no updates:-

Please can anyone help otherwise I am going to have to bin this device

Thanks in advance

How are you testing this? Playing another type of stream on your Sonos, when your friend is no longer on your WiFi, breaks their connection via Spotify Connect to your Sonos. It would have zero affect on your own device, as you are the system owner, and on your own WiFi. Unless you’re calling your friend and asking them to test, you will see/hear no change.

I think he is coming off wifi and onto 4G

As I understand it, there is no way to visually see if someone has a ‘Spotify Connect’ session with your Sonos. But that is all Spotify’s software, and not Sonos’, so perhaps I’m missing something.

I will bow out, and leave this to you, sir ;)

Other than getting on his phone and pressing this forget this device I don't know what to do.

I have tried another source on my phone through the sonos app and then switched off WiFi and it was still listed as a device I could control in Spotify. I only have a sonos one no other devices

This will not be the case for your friend… All you need do is play something else to the speaker which will break your friends ‘remote’ session.

To regain access to the speaker, your friend would need to come back onto your WiFi network and start another Spotify ‘connect’ session. You can stop that by denying them access to your WiFi - either by charging the WiFi password, or blocking their device MAC address etc.

I would not remove the device from your Spotify account - you will need that for your own ‘Spotify’ connect playback.
