My SONOS system is ~old:  Play:5; Play:3; SONOS One (Gen 1); SONOS Connect (Gen 1) connected to Onkyo TX-RZ50 w/Klipsch tower, sub, ceiling, wall speakers; plus a SONOS Bridge no longer being used].  So I'm pretty "stuck" with using the S1 (Android) Phone App.  

I've wished for a physical app to use with this principally for QUICK access as a system "mute" (or "pause") for phone calls, doorbell, someone walks into the room, etc.  Plus, Volume Up/Down control nice, but not required.  

I understand IKEA's SYMFONISK remote might be able to do this, though it requires a smart hub.  IKEA sells the SYMFONISK remote in a bundle with their DIRIGERA hub.  

Can anyone tell me whether this IKEA SYMFONISK/DIRIGERA combo will control my SONOS S1 products without the necessity of my also needing to buy any SYMFONISK/SONOS speakers?  

It says in this Verge article that the latest Dirigera Hub/Symfonisk Remote is S2 compatible only:

I can’t seem to find any other reference to S1/S2 compatibility.


You can still get new IKEA Tradfri gateways and Gen 1 SYMFONISK remotes (the rotary ones) on a well known online market website.
