        A controller for the Tizen based OS on the Samsung Gear 2 Neo would be so amazing! please SONOS!!! Your products are so amazing, this controller support would make it perfect!

          Just started using the Samsung Gear S2... a SONOS controller would be the obvious app for this watch. Please consider it. Thx.

          As this thread was started by a Sonos employee could we please have an update on the possibility of this happening? This would be a fantastic addition.

          It's not really started by a Sonos employee. The "Sonos Ideas" username is a catchall for customer ideas that come in via other sources, like Facebook and Twitter.

          Perhaps a response by a Sonos representative, regardless of who started the thread, is now appropriate. I'm a loyal Sonos user (13 zones and counting) and would find a smart watch app very additive.

          Is there any consideration from the Sonos Corp in creating that functionality? Smart watches will only be growing in popularity, I hope you continue your forward looking culture and decide to be early on the development curve.

          Another one for a Tizen integration would be great, especially as the Gear S2 can communicate with Wifi it would be great to not need a phone at all .

            The Sonos app already works with Android Wear Smart Watches. I can see what's playing in the currently selected zone, pause it and restart it, skip forwards and backwards, and mute/adjust the volume.

            Of course not all functions are available, but I struggle to see ho they could be (and remain useable) on such a small interface.

            Cheers,

            Hi Folks,

            Majik is correct in that the Android smart watches can read lock screen controls from the Sonos app on a paired Android phone.

            We don't have any updates to share about a more robust smart watch app at this time but we'll be sure to forward your interest along.

            @Majik I'm using a Samsung Gear S2 connected via Bluetooth to my Samsung Galaxy S4 where SONOS App runs perfectly.
            Can you explain what App you use, because when my Sonos is Playing Internet Radio (via TuneIn), I can just Pause/Play the music,... nothing else... Even the Volume is moving from 0 to 15, but it doesn't affect the SONOS,... Obviously only the phone volume... Thank you
