Controllers and Music services

I know this is more of a SmartThings question, which I have posted in their forum, but wanted a bigger audience, so posting here also. Using Speaker Companion SmartApp in SmartThings to say: When contact opens/closes then play notification sound, also have the "Resume currently playing music after notification" enabled. Two scenarios going on here.... 1) Music is playing, someone opens the front door. As expected, music pauses, notification sound plays, then music resumes. Perfect! 2) Music NOT playing, someone opens the front door. As expected, notification plays.... but then the music queues up from whatever was previously being played. Wondering if anyone has done something like this and is experiencing the same behavior?

Can we please have the option to choose what tapping a song in the list does. It used to be that when I tap the song I would get an option menu to added to the end of the Q, play now and now it just instantly play goes to the end of my queue and start playing that song or worse entire albums. This is crazy. I understand it's because dumb people don't understand how a queue works but it destroys the controller for people that have an idea of what's going on. Please let us choose what happens, i liked the menu but it would be even better if we could choose a default action for tapping song then the three dots gives you the little menu.

I have a play:5 in the bedroom and is connected to a tv via the line input. I also play large playlists in this room. If I pause in the middle of the playlist and select the line in for watching tv, I cannot resume the playlist where it left off after I’m done watching tv. It seems like the queue is still intact with the playlist but it doesn’t have a way to resume playback from where it was paused. Since the playlist is large, it’s a pain to have to scroll down and find what I remember played last. Can we get a resume function somehow?

Hello Sonos, I have submitted a diagnostic from my Android app. Number is 8508924. Mysystem which has two play 5's and a plaubase is working fine in standard set-up and I can control it via my Samsung S7 Android device. However, on the Win 10 PC, the controller cannot find the system. Both are connected to the same wireless network. If I plug my laptop into my router (direct ethernet cable) the controller will find the system. Many thanks.

Many media apps work great on Android TV box using the handheld remote...moving from screen to screen, field to field and selecting with the typical navigation buttons. Though I just gave it a quick try...got things linked up and music playing OK...but navigation in Android Sonos Controller is nearly impossible without a touchscreen or touchpad remote. Can this be remedied to work better with typical TV box remote navigation buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right, Select, Back)? It IS really nice to see now playing info on the big screen and select music that resides on attached drives. It would be GREAT if you could make adjustments on the Sonos systems more easily from your main media center.

When I browse Spotify on my iPhone X Sonos app no personal playlists show up under the "Your Music" tab. The strange thing is I can see my Albums and Songs under Your Music . It's just Playlists that show the message "Unable to browse music". Any suggestions?

Hi, I know the new push is to double down on streaming services and voice control. I would love to have the ability to remember the last listen to spot. I listen to a lot of podcast on our system and it is always a pain to have to remember where I left off. If I go from the office to the garage I have to start the service again and manual locate the last spot I listened to. I don't think there is an easy way to hand off services from different locations, kinda like follow me. If I'm listening in the shower and then I go downstairs I'd like to be able to click transfer to downstairs. I can do a work around and add downstairs to the current grouping and then when I get downstairs delete the upstairs bath from the current grouping. Kinda lame though. Also why not work with the likes of Rogue Amoeba and get their Airfoil to work with Sonos. I would love to have the ability to direct anything I'm listening to on my Mac to the Sonos system and be able to select zones. Currentl

The Clear, Edit and save buttons have gone missing off my android app on a samsung tab A but are still there on my samsung galaxy S6. Both are using the latest apps. Does anybody have an explanation?

Currently I have Sonos iOs app version 8.3 installed. I got a pop up today that an update 8.3.1 is available.When I go to App store to install the update , I do not see any Update tab and just see Open tab.

I just upgraded to IPhone 8+ from an iPhone 6s+ and Sonos will not play from the app on my new phone; rather, it says I lust play from the 6s+ instead. I cannot find a way to disassociate from the old phone and enable the new phone. Help! Very frustrating.

Hi. I upgraded to Sierra 10.12.6 beta and I can no longer launch my desktop controller. Everything works fine on my iPad Mini and iPhone 6, even on my MacBook Pro which is still on El Capitan. The other thin that changed is that I installed a player connected to a Connect:Amp that powers my Surround speakers. I cannot send any diagnostics from the app since I can't access the menu. I have a bridge connected to my router, the PlayBar is wired to the Connect:Amp via Cat5 cable, my Play:3 is wireless, my Connect is wireless and my Play:5 is wired via a Cat5 to the router. Can you tell me what to do ?

Trueplay is now available for the world to try and we’d love to hear what you think about the tuning. Have you noticed a change in your home? What are your impressions? Personally, I first set up Trueplay in the worst possible situation I had at home, an original PLAY:5 sitting half behind a hollowed out speaker tower speaker which was used as a table for a record player (it’s a long story). The room has stone floors, high ceilings, and a few couches. The difference was immense. After my dance around the room the PLAY:5 sounded like a completely different speaker. The highs were much clearer, and the lows resonated better throughout the room. Friends in the house couldn’t believe the difference either. The next room I tested was much better off. The PLAY:3 in there was in a better place already, sitting toward the corner of the room, on top of a table. Wood floors, much smaller room, lower ceilings. There was still a noticeable change, as Tr

Hi guys, I have just invested in a couple of Sonos speakers and have set up my iPhone and my wife's iPhone as controllers. I was wondering, would we be able to have separate favourites on our My Sonos pages? or do we have to share the space. At the moment it is just full of my favourite albums on both iPhones and my wife would like her own stuff on there. Cheers, Tom

I am planning to bay a CR200. Is it stil possible to add it to my Sonos system? - or is it going to be outdated like the cr100?

I am not able to update my Sonos Controller and getting error 1101. I have tried all steps for debugging but no help. It does not let me in to controller home for accessing any options.

Living in the Midwest in the sticks... We are always having severe weather. It would be great if Sonos could offer the feature to turn on or turn off weather alerts of certain types and for specific counties. While we have a weather radio - it is only in one room. Having Sonos products in every room would certainly grab attention much quicker...

I know that there's no official web controller however there's: https://github.com/denysvitali/sonos-web However, I was wondering if there's one people generally use besides the one I posted (to which I have no affiliation). Kind regards, Paulo

I love the CR100. It's so much faster than running an app on my iPhone (just pick it up and you're off...no app to run, no new interface to learn), it has dedicated buttons for all of the major features, and I've been using it for about 9 years now. Recently Pandora stopped working from the CR100. I can play Pandora from my iPhone, but not the CR100. When I select it, the CR100 says "Unable to browse music". So I tried going to the Music Menu > System Settings > Music Service Settings, OH but wait! Music Service Settings has been removed. Now there is NO WAY to add, change or remove music services from the CR100. Don't get me wrong, I know the CR100 is a dinosaur. I know it doesn't have enough oomph to run the new protocols, etc. I just want my Pandora to continue working. And if that's not possible then would Sonos be willing to open up the CR100 code to the Open Source community? Maybe some of us developers could revive the best little Sonos controller o

Hey, I just updated to the latest Sonos controller software on my laptop about five minutes ago and for some reason it has had the following affects on my system: Sub-Woofer: completely lost all 'oomph!' - it's actually hard to tell whether it's on or off now. Surround Speakers (Two Play 1s): Sound coming out all crackly and muted. Playbar: same issues as surround speakers. Overall the sound is generally just more muted, and the bass is now weak across the whole system, even if I turn the sub-woofer up full, you can barely hear the bass. It's a real shame because the last couple of updates seemed to really boost the sound quality overall, but this latest sound is crap. And before anyone asks: No, I have not done anything to the equipment, literally just updated the software. Is there a way to roll-back to the previous update? Anyone else noticed this? Cheers, An

Is there a method to adjust volume based on numerical values to ensure that your system volume is consistent

Is there anyway to setup alarms to fade-in over a set time? Like with my Philips Hue lights where I simulate a sunrise, I would like to gradually increase the music volume over say 10min.

I have two sonos systems in different houses. Do you use the same Sonos app to control?

I have a ipod touch 4 that i want to use with the Sonos app and my itunes library as well as Spotify and Deezer.It deems the latest Sonos app i can use is 6.2.2 which I have installed.When trying to connect to an existing system I get a message informing me there is a problem and contact Sonos.Anyone know if I am trying to do something thats not possible ?

I don't own a CR100 controller, so I don't see why anyone else should get to use one, or even want one in the first place. I am struggling with the reasons to actually kill the CR100 off so could you please help me by answering the following question: 'Despite not owning a CR100 my life will be so much better when the CR100 is dead for the following reasons......' I do have one, 'because SONOS told me it was a good idea.' I ask politely that posters stay on topic and provide valid reasons relating to life improvements they will receive when the nasty CR100 is gone. Regards Dave

Allow users to customize the keyboard shortcuts because the default Sonos desktop shortcuts are uncommon and inconvenient
