Feature request: Schedule option

It can be done very easily without all your above instructions
A software change which yields no change in functionality, only of terminology? Frankly I can think of more pressing demands on the engineering team. The system can do what you need today.

You dont seem to understand what I write. There is more to it than just change the terminology. As Ive said several of times before, u cant do what I want, the way I want to do it it, with alarms. End of it. If you're happy with how it works today, fine. I'm not and this is a suggestion for future development.

Melvimbe, basically its just a configuration of the alarm function they already have today. It aint that hard honestly. Basically all they have to do is to modify it with a menu where you are able to set start/stop with the possibility to add a new action, start/stop. As many as you want. Then you have a "alarm/schedule" to start/stop as often as you want without having to elaborate with a bunch of different alarms. You have one action instead of a scroll list of different alarms.

Keep alarm and add schedule, or whatever you wantto name it. Or just add it under alarms if that feels better.

Not going to happen. Has been requested a couple times before in the 13 years Sonos has been around, and the same answers applied then as now, which is why it hasn't been implemented.

To bad. Lets hope they can listen this time then 🙂

To bad. Lets hope they can listen this time then :)And if they listen, let us hope they can figure out what benefit would be obtained.

Two fewer taps, it would seem, to enable/disable a room's 'schedule', assuming there are 3 start/stops therein.

The same amount of effort is required to create each start/stop instruction, whether it be an 'alarm' or in a 'schedule'.

This should be an easy fix..

Taking a aside here, and nothing personal at all, but this has to be one of my least favorite terms.

First off, it's not broken, so it can't be fixed.

Second, often times when we look at a block box from the outside, we think we know how things work in the box. Often times, we are absolutely wrong. We assume it's built a certain way, so changing things are easy. If it were a house, it's like painting a room. Same thing, different color. The reality is that seemly small changes often require big changes inside the box. It's not painting a room, it's taking down a load bearing wall. Sure it would be easy if the system were built the way you imagine it is, but it was built differently.

Third, sometimes you can cheat and add a feature by sorting of patching it up. In other words, you add the feature by just taking it on in a slightly odd way. You would never do it this way if you were adding the feature from the start, but you have to do it this way as it's the only way you can do it without a rebuild. So you end up adding a mudroom off the masterbed room instead of off the laundry or kitchen like it should be (or whatever, I don't have one).

Fourth, changes introduce bugs. So you replaced the perfectly functioning window with a new fancier one...that leaks a bit in heavy rain. This is the whole reason for the quote "If it's not broken, don't fix it"

Last, for every new feature you add, you're opening up a can of worms. You'll have people who believe you should have done it a different way. You'll have people who say it never should have been done at all. Even if the features doesn't change any of the old stuff at all, people will complain that it's not as simple, and they don't understand the difference between 'alarm' and 'schedule'.

So...not really that simple.

Well, luckily it isnt you who will make this happen! Guess we still wouldnt have had TV if things were up to you. Strange mankind haven't been eaten by a hugh wormhole with all new functions we get every day.

And for the record. I switched windows a couple of years ago. Still not a singel drop of water on the inside! Stop worrie and be happy m8.

Request still remain.

You missed the point entirely, and again not about you. I'm not saying things should never change, progress is bad or anything like that. I'm just saying that change isn't always as easy as it looks like from the outside.

And I work in IT myself, and yes somethings take a lot longer than my clients think it should. Other things happen a lot faster than they expect.

No issue with your request.
