I have been reluctant, for over a year, to update from the S1 software to S2 software on my devices. The speakers on a whole house system that are integrated together. I want all my devices on the same system. Sonos updated without my permission a year ago and I lost a speaker because once it was updated to S2 it could not be changed or downgraded back to s1, this was a One SL speaker. It was frustrating I worked with Sonos for months for a fix or a resolution, but never got one. I still have my first Sonos item I purchased a Zone Player S5, the original, It still works and sounds great. If I update to S2 this will not work with my whole house integrated system. I just want to know if anyone can give me any answers of what the advantage would be to upgrade to S2 from S1 I am currently have been using for years. I am not having any problems with the S1 software. Please help.

There is no advantage. There’s no killer features you are missing. In reality the new app is still in development for basic features and has many bugs.
However, S1 can only ‘do’ SMBv1, which is insecure, and it can’t recognize any newer Sonos speakers.
I use the new App here and S1 at mom’s and I find the S1 does everything she needs.
Not sure why the One SL can’t be reset to use S1 when the One can, the support document gives no reason.
