A Sonos user would like to disable the hard buttons on his Sonos devices via the Sonos Controller. 

For exemple when he is having a party home he want to avoid his friend to modify the volume level or pause the music.

What do you think about it?

      Anybody with children really needs this feature. All UX people make it too easy for toddlers to switch stuff on and off - its too well designed. The buttons just scream "press me" to an inquisitive child.

      Also I discovered that my cats have the ability to turn up the sound (and then look at me to solve it)... it would be nice if we could disable the functions. As we can by double clicking can skip to the next song... something must be possible. :?

      My 3 kids are driving me and the missus crazy. Also makes them want our phones or iPad to change music if they don't like it.

      It's getting hateful now.

      Getting wall mounts for the 2 play3s, either that or I may have to physically break the button.

      This feature is really needed, for all the reasons stated above. It's a major flaw in the system where children are concerned

      If you’ve ever needed to prevent pets or kids from pressing buttons on your Sonos devices, that’s now available under Room Settings.

        This is a crucial feature after the installation of the playbase. It took our 1 year old about 30 sec to realize the volume could be changed and I would have had to return the playbase if this feature was not available. Thank you Sonos for listening to the community and adapting the ux to the real world. Keep doing what you do!
