I have two Sonos system, one system with Sonos 2 app, and newer devices, and one system with Sonos 1 app and a connect device that does not funcion with Sonos 2 app.

Since a couple of days Sonos is preventing me from using the Sonos 1 app. Instead they are showing a screen, instructing me to use the new Sonos app (which is impossible with the Connect device).

Anyone else experincing this?

Yes, I get this randomly too, super annoying. You can try the “forget this system” / “use existing system” dance and it will sometimes come to its senses.

Do NOT factory reset anything though.

Or you could try a third party app that handles this scenario smoothly.


Thanks for the suggested solutions. Is there a certain third party app you have in mind?


It worked when I chose ”forget this system”, and restarted both the WiFi and my phone. Thanks for the help.

Did you read the last line of his post? I'm betting he likes his apps.
