ALARMS: Add a "Snooze" Feature! :)

It would be great if a snooze button was added to the great alarms feature in Sonos!

Please add a snooze feature on one of the hardware buttons. Just bought a play:1 specifically for the bedroom and considering returning it now. Bit crafty advertising an alarm feature without one of the basic features of an alarm!

Please add a snooze function. This was in the original controller and now is a missing feature. The logic should be if the alarm playing, short press mute button = snooze, long press mute = cancel alarm.
Let the user configure the snooze duration in the alarm setting and also if possible allow customisation of short/long press actions.

Good morning. Welcome to the first post in a series of Snoozlets. These posts will be about my adventures trying to quiet my Sonos system in the absence of a snooze function, and generally written immediately after I've had a difficult time trying to quiet my Sonos system during my bleary-eyed first few moments post-slumber.

This morning, my Sonos alarm functioned as expected (albeit earlier than I wanted, as the overall alarm interface really isn't that intuitive). I tried to reach for my phone to silence it, but knocked it to the floor. My foot became entangled in my sheet as I got up from bed to reach for my Sonos 3 and press the mute button, and I tripped. I was uninjured. I stood up and was able to silence my Sonos without further event. I am hopeful my overall day will be better.

Idea: Light up my phone along with my alarm, and have a snooze feature. Understand that when first waking up, I am an incoherent fool. I cannot navigate simple logic, nevertheless a series of menus to adjust my alarm, effecting the equivalent of a snooze.

I love my Sonos system. The complex technology of synchronizing the delivery of high fidelity audio across my house with ease. I am sincere when I share my love for this product. However, the lack of a snooze function allows me to fault you on a daily basis, and places you at the epicenter of responsibility for a difficult beginning to my day.

Sonos, add a snooze function.

Your problems are why I like my solution.  I have set 4 alarms: 8:00, 8:10, 8:20, and 8:30.  I set each to a slightly higher volume.  When one goes off, if I want to sleep a little bit longer I hit the MUTE button on Sonos.  No fussing with the phone.  The next alarm goes off just like a "Snooze" function on a regular alarm clock.

This works great if the Sonos is at your bedside, but if not? I agree that this is a workaround (and a good one), but this isn't a solution.

Sonos?

Going to add another vote for the snooze button. It is the only reason I still use my Sonos CR standalone controller. I keep dreading a software update that will stop my CR from working & I loose my precious Snooze. I can see some design challenges on a phone (assuming you want to use notifications for a phone that is locked up at the bed side - but there is a solution somewhere). At the very least a similar Snooze touchable area for the Group Playing the alarm at the top (like the CR).

Please please add this to the phone controller at least.

+1. I think this is a pretty essential feature.
