Alarm duration, let's get this done!

I saw posts up to six years ago asking for more options on the duration of the Sonos alarm function. Seems like a simple request yet nothing has been done.

Lets face it, we mostly use the alarm function as a scheduler because it's our only choice. I use it daily so I don't miss my favorite Internet radio shows. Problem is I need it to stay on for 3-4 hours, the length of the show, and my choices are either 2 hours or "indefinitely". I've seen others who need shorter alarms too, say 30 second to 5 minutes. I say why not just let the users decide exactly how long to set it for?

Can we PLEASE get this on the next software update? Even just adding a 3 hour and a 4 hour option would solve my issue. Ultimately though, Sonos needs a separate scheduling function so the alarm can be an alarm and the rest of us can set Sonos up to work with better our lifestyles.

Thanks, I hope someone at Sonos reads this.

To the Sonos development team, a big thanks for listening!

I see with the latest update I installed that we now have complete control over the duration of the alarm function. It may seem trivial to some but it really helps me in the way I use my Sonos system. I’m very excited to see this improvement.

So, to recap my suggestions over the last couple years ..

Alexa integration - check!
Alarm duration - check!
Audible.com app - still waiting patiently
