Realizing the inevitable (phasing out the desktop app and going to a web-based controller), I’m starting, grudgingly, to use my browser to connect with my systems.
I’m not seeing any ability to adjust the EQ on my speakers through the web-based controller? Am I wrong and, if so, where can I do that? If I’m not wrong, I hope this feature is added asap.
No, you can’t adjust EQ using the Sonos web client. It’s my understanding that the latency to send that type of command to the cloud and back to the speaker is just too great. Therefore, the direction as shown in the snippet below to manage things using the Sonos App as it processes any command over your WiFi. I don’t believe Sonos has plans to make a change in the web client’s behavior (or functionality) anytime soon; if at all.
So…assuming the desktop app is going bye-bye, we are left with just the iOS app (for us Apple folks). Seems like a reason to continue to support the desktop?
The web app is not the same thing as the desktop apps.
The desktop apps are ‘native’ apps, the web app is through the browser, and agnostic to the OS, as far as I’m aware.

Correct - but the ‘native’ apps are going away - hence the question.
I find the phone app to be clumsy - the desktop app is much more nimble, for me at least!

What makes you think latency is a problem with changing the EQ settings? Its just a collection of 3 numbers.

I read it in another piece outside of this community wherein sending commands as such created a latency issue. I’ll search my archives to see if I can pull it up.
