      An app has just been released for the Gear S3. I have installed it and it does everything I need play, pause, next / previous track and volume control via the bezel. Options to show album art and easy to select multiple zone players. The app is called ZP Player, but I found it by searching for sonos. How did you get the ZP Player to work? I can't connect mine to my Sonos system.

      The app is called ZP Controller, you need to enable WIFI on the Gear S3 and then enter the IP address on one of the Zone Players and click Scan. This will then search for all the Zone Players you have and save them on the app. If you have DHCP enabled and not a fixed IP address on your router for the Zone Players then the IP address of the initial Zone Player may change which stops the app working.

      I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Watch and was really hoping that either the standard Music app or the third party "ZP Controller" app would work with it, but unfortunately this is not the case.

      If I run the Sonos app on my phone the watch's Music app shows me what is playing but I can't change the volume etc. It seems to alter the phone's volume rather than Sonos'.

      The ZP Controller app fails to connect to the ZP. I know the IP address is correct because I can browse to it using a web browser.

      There is also a lot of recent reviews saying that it doesn't work with Galaxy Watch.

      I would love to an official Sonos app for Tizen watches - just controlling the phone app would be fine.
