I use sonos at my martial arts club to play music during fitness classes etc.. the issue is the router sonos is connected to doesn't have internet connection and when I go on my iPod/iPhone to use the sonos app it tells me to update, I can't update without being connected to that specific router and I can't access internet in order to get the update. How can I update on other devices without being connected to it?

So basically I recently won a Sonos play 1 at work and wanted to sent up my own separate system for myself (my parents already have a Sonos system running through the whole house). Is there anyway to control 2 systems from one app when they are on the same wifi?

Hi, How can I make a backup of the settings in my controller? Can I do it automatically til iCloud? I'd like to do a back up of my playlists and all of my favorites and also of all of my many radio stations I have bookmarked. I have a lot of streams inserted as radiostations - I'd like to backup this too. how come are the menu in "my radio stations" so messy? I'd like to be able to make folders just like when bookmarking in my browsers.

Help Sonos developers. I need a SONOS windows phone APP

Hello, In the past, I've received messages on the Sonos android app that the Sonos App has an update available and I would usually ignore it, providing everything is working reasonably well. Today, however, for the first time, the android app would not let me access Sonos at all until I hit the red "Update" banner. Written above was "Sonos App Needs Updating". When I hit Update, I am taken to the Google sign-in page. I don't ever have my phone signed in to Google. I don't ever want to sign in to Google. But now I can't operate Sonos from my phone. Surely, considering I'm a paid up 'registered' Sonos owner, I could download the app directly from the Sonos website. Or maybe I can? Is that possible? Many thanks.

I purchased a Sonos Playbar and Sub with a Bridge a couple of years ago and they have been amazing ever since! In the near future I intent to purchase another playbar, some Play 5s, some Amps to drive ceiling speakers etc... We have very good wireless coverage throughout the house using Ubiquiti APs, but all Sonos devices are hard wired using CAT6, and I intend to keep this the same as I expand. With this in mind I was always under the impression that the Sonos Bridge was essentially the hub of the system, I thought it was what controlled the full system, kept the settings, organised the rooms, kept the login details for Spotify and other music solutions, pulled updated etc. From what I have been reading though, it is basically just an access point, is this correct? If this is the case then I don't need the bridge I don't think... Can someone confirm? If this is the case, then where are all the settings stored? Spotify is linked to Sonos so what device organises that ? How am I

I just saw this app to enable that claims you can control your Sonos system with Alexa using an application which will only run on Windows 10. They say it is not connected to Sonos. Has anyone tried the app? The hitch is that Windows 10 has to be awake for it to be used.

I've been creating sets of stereo speakers quite a bit lately with 2 Play:5's. I don't really understand why I need to physically push a button (get out of my chair 🙂 ) when creating the pairing. When I create it in the app I can tell it which other speaker I wish to be the other speaker in the app - but in the next step I then need to physically press the button on the speaker which is to be the left. Why is this? Can't it at least be a 'press the button on the speaker' or pick it 'from the two speakers below:' option? I understand sometimes the left just has to be the left but usually you know which speaker is which or have just moved one into another room and definitely know. And have to get up again when you set the config.. :( If there is an option of selecting from the list, no one's worse off. 🙂

How to sort the order of my Sonos Favorites?

I was prompted to upgrade to 7.2.1 but i do not see the release notes. Please list what the updates are.

Hi After last update Tunein radio is not showing anymore info about current song playing. Is it a bug into sonos or a change into Tunein? Camillo

When using the Spotify app to select music then connect to my Sonos devices the volume controls go erratic when you try to adjust slightly in the Sonos control app. The volume control lags increases or decreases depending, almost blew the house down. If I control volume just in the Spotify app this does not happen, however the Spotify app does not allow you to tune volume in individual rooms when grouped. I'm using an iPhone and would prefer to control with the Sonos control for the group room tuning reason. Anyone having similar issue and can offer a solution?

I am curious if there is a setting in the iPhone app, or on the iPhone itself, to have the music pause or mute when a call comes in.

Background: Guest downloads Sonos app and connects to my system. Guest then controls my Sonos remotely from their home. Result is loud music played when I am asleep. How do I control who can access my system and control adding or deleting guests?

When is the controller app for Windows Phone commng?

Has there been any thought to offering a cloud-based service that would allow us to control a unit from anywhere? Having to be connected to the same subnet as the Sonos device creates problems in situations where the network being used by the Sonos device is not publicly available. For instance, a hotel. The hotel could use a Connect device to play music in a restaurant or bar or lobby (or all of the above). You don't want guests to be able to try and connect to the Sonos and change the programming, so you put the Sonos on a private network (hard wired) that does not have a wireless connection in the public areas. In order for hotel staff to be able to change the music, playlist, etc. they would have to go to a PC that is probably not in the same area where the music is playing. This makes it very hard to hear what you are doing, how loud it is, etc. If they could use an app on their smart phone and login to a cloud account to control the device, they could make those changes where

Would be great to always have a default playlist or streaming station on every device so that when you press the play button music will always play even if the queue is empty. Avoiding the need to find your iPhone or controller to select music especially when they are not readily available.

Can we get support for Siri integration in iOS10 please? and a widget for the lock screen

Hey, so new to Sonos. Just bought them "home theater 5.1" bundle. So that's the playbar, sub, and two play 1s for the rears. Everything sounds great and works great...but. The but: can I break off the two play 1s and take them to a different room to create a stero group and then when done bring them back to the home theater room? Ex: what I'm trying to do is take the two play 1s as a pair to the back yard for a BBQ let's say and let them play while guests enjoy the music of the playbar inside. Then when I'm done I bring the pair back inside and say click on living room and have the whole thing come back as a complete set. Thanks in advance if you can help!:)

AirPods are a genius product. In my case, however, I am unable to use the AirPods from my Apple Watch unless I uninstall Sonos Controller App. --- And I can reliably reproduce the connection issue when I re-install Sonos Controller on my iPhone. When I delete the app everything goes back to normal Apple Watch connects to AirPods. Apple claims on their support website: "AirPods are connected to your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time. Sound automatically switches between them." Well, in my case, with Sonos Controller installed it doesn't work. Did anybody else notice the same behavior? Feed-back appreciated. :?

My controller prompted me to update my speaker software tonight but I don't see anything about it on these forums. Does anyone have any release notes?

Is it possible to set up more than one Trueplay tuning for one speaker? Reason: moving Play 1 from inside room to deck, and want to be able to access the different tuning profiles without going through the entire process each time.

I think I have seen some other posts about grouping individual speakers into multiple groups. Oddly enough, I bought into the Sonos Koolaid, happily, and now I have a Sonos:5 and a few Sonos:1's, and want to group some of them into "front of house" and all of them into "the whole house" and target each group with music/radio/etc. Sadly, I think this is impossible? Or is it not? Google Audio Cast seems brand-new in comparison, but seems to support this out of the box. I'm now wondering if I should be selling my Sonos speakers to switch, which is inconvenient 😕 I do hope I am missing something obvious here 😕

I'm curious to hear about other's experience in using the Harmony hub + remote with Sonos. I'm considering a purchase, but just not seeing a lot of advantage. I understand that it really has more to do with everything else you've got, not just your Sonos system. In terms of just Sonos, the harmony app and remote can't do anything more than the Sonos app can do...less actually. It does allow a limited integration with Amazon's Echo (which I have), but Sonos has promised to integrate directly. That means it comes down to 'everything else'. In terms of getting the HT audio and tv turned on at the right inputs, that isn't a big deal for me. I do have a playbar, so TV audio is automatically on when the tv is sending it signals. Nothing for Harmony to do there. If I didn't have a playbar, I think Harmony would get my purchase on this feature alone. On the TV, I have 3 inputs. Blu-ray is used rarely, maybe every other month, so Harmony can't help out much there. The other 2 inp
