ALARMS: Add a "Snooze" Feature! :)

Come on guys, an alarm without a snooze feature is just horrible. https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/customize_physical_button_actions_during_alarms https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/iphone_app_alarm_snooze https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/alarm_snooze_option https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/idea_for_a_snooze_bar_use_the_mute_button https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/stop_alarm_on_device_by_pressing_any_button_on_device_inc_all_products_except_sub I'm sure more people want this than have taken the time to find this site and request /comment on it. I mean, it's just such a basic feature, you could forgive anybody for expecting it to be included by default, long ago. I also think that there are quite complex / awesome things that could be done with alarms, but please, just give us a basic snooze to start with, pretty please 🙂 I really want to make more use of my system, and this would ensure it gets used pretty much every day without fail. Thanks 🙂

Agree with this! I'm migrating from a Squeezebox Boom, and used the snooze every day. +1 on repurposing the mute button, but I might add that it'd be even better if the volume and mute buttons would serve as a snooze during an alarm. it's hard to hit a small button when drowsy... 😉

so annoying to wake up, open my sonos app, and set my alarm for 10 minutes in the future. that would be the definition of what SNOOZE does.

I hope people from Sonos are reading this. If the alarm/snooze feature were added, I would buy another play5 to replace our clock radio.

It's great hardware, most people love it, but in the grand scheme of things, how much investment is a software change - relatively speaking? There are loads of things that could be done with the Sonos kit to suit everyone, if only the software allowed it. I just hope Sonos are reading all these forums, and realise how easy it would be to broaden their market, build their fan base and more importantly stay ahead of the competition in what functions their hardware can be used for. Stay ahead of the game - listen! I think the kit is great and we have had regular app updates, so no real complaints from me, but perhaps (but who am I to comment) they need to tweak their strategy to develop and move forward in all areas, software and hardware alike. Sonos had the competitive edge with the hardware and wireless music system, now they need to stay ahead of the game by making sure the user interface and functionality keeps them there. e.g. the mute button as a snooze during alarms.

Come on Sonos, how far are you from solve this problem I'd love to buy a Play 1 but not before this been solved

As support for the stand alone Controls continues to erode, you really need to put Snooze for Alarms in to the App versions.  I submitted a support ticket about this when I read the release notes for the Play:1 software update and the response I got was to post here because, "This [forum] is the area Sonos looks to when conscidering [sic] adding new features and products." I hope that is true and that you are getting the message.  I paid a silly amount of money to someone on eBay to get a Control just for that button.  It's a valuable feature.  Please put it in the App software.  I don't care if I have to unlock my phone before I can hit snooze, although it would be nice for you to figure a way around that.  If that's what you're waiting for, though, realize that many people will have an older device they can re-purpose as a dedicated Sonos remote (I did that with an old iPhone that had a broken power button, works great as a dedicated remote) that they can keep unlocked and running the App.  Even if they don't already have something like that, a suitable 3rd or 4th generation iPod touch can be had on eBay for a lot less than a CR200.  Could someone from Sonos please respond here and explain why is this so difficult?  What are we missing here?

I have found a "work around" for the lack of a snooze feature.  I can set several alarms 10 minutes apart.  When the first goes off, if I hit the MUTE button, then 10 minutes later it comes on again.  This is pretty much what we want without having to use the phone.  There are a couple of downsides.  

These is no alarm off function without using the phone.
With a regular alarm if you listen to it for a few minutes you still get the 10 minutes (of however long the snooze is) of snooze, with this it comes back on at a set time.

So after I try this for a bit with a Play5 that I have, I might get the Play1 as an alarm clock.

Agree with the need for a snooze option. Would actually love a Sonos alarm clock speaker

After using this for a couple of weeks, it does work pretty well.  Radio reception is very bad in this area so I am very pleased to use the Sonos, much more pleasant than the static I get from the clock radio.
