Controllers & Music Services

I've seen reference to the Controller 'auto-switching' between 2 networks .... not for me. I have to reset the controller to access the devices on each network. How can I have one controller which detects each network as appropriate?

My Logitech My Harnony Remote has added control of SONOS to its capability.  The problem is that my saved radio stations will not play, and many times they freeze the remote.  This is a new capability to the remote, and I can't seem to get an answer as to how to fix it. 

When a song comes on in the sonos app. It would be nice if I could "like" that song and have it auto added to a Spotify playlist. This feature exists inside the app "SoundHound". This would make it easy to save music that I like when it comes on especially if someone else is linked to the same speaker with their account. I'd like to save their song to my account.

I just bought a Surface Go and intend to run with Windows 10 's mode. However, I miss the ability to run the Sonos Windows desktop app. Are there any plans from you to release your desktop app in the Windows Store?

Hi all. I like to watch the cricket on Satellite TV but listen to the radio commentary through Sonos. The issue is that the TV is 3.0 seconds behind the radio. Is there anyway to delay the Sonos stream to sync up ? Thanks Ian

Sonos app recognizes just one name but Alexa App calls same device Scott's Sonos One as well as Living Room. When asked a question Alexa responds that Living room is not online. Alexa App shows Scott's Sonos One is on line

With Sonos announcing that are expanding their developer program (Click here) and created some new API that operate through the cloud, it has me thinking of would want out of new/party controller app. The first thing that came to mind is that I want a single app that fully controls both my Sonos speakers and my pool. To give a little background, my pool has a 'smart controller' of sorts on it. I have an app (Hayward) that can control the pumps, heater, lighting, and the electrical board connected to my pool. It allows scheduling and creation of scenes as well. On the Sonos side, I've got outdoor speakers in place. So on a typical afternoon in the backyard, it's not uncommon for me to be switching between my Sonos and Hayward app. Although it's a 3rd world problem, wouldn't it be great if I could do all the usual changes through a single app? As added bonus, it would be great to be able to associate certain lighting schemas with certain Sonos favorites. How about turning

I went to use the Sonos app this evening and was prompted to check for updates. I was directed to the app store which didn't identify that I wasn't using the latest version, so my only option was to 'Open' rather than 'Get' the latest version. This sent me back to the update screen which has left me in an infinite loop of checking for updates only for no update to be found. Any suggestions? Currently running the new (and awful) 8.0 on an iphone 5s running ios 10.3.3. Trying to connect to a Sonos Play 1. Thanks

Hi all, I've recently moved to an iPhone X (from an iPhone 7), and noticed that I can no longer adjust the volume of the Sonos app using the iPhone volume buttons. On the iPhone 7, I was able to pickup the phone, and with out unlocking it, just adjust the playback volume by pressing the volume buttons on the side of the phone. Now, I have to unlock the phone and actually use the slider volume of the app itself. Even if the phone is unlocked and the Sonos app in the foreground, the volume buttons no longer seem to impact the Sonos volume playback. Does anyone else see the same behaviour. Perhaps I just need to tweak a iPhone X settings somewhere. Cheers, Rob

Received a Sonos Play:1. Looked into, can't use it. It's proprietary bs. Tried setting up but just get blinking amber light, factory resets, try again, try again... Don't have WiFi except for using Win 10 as a hotspot (PC hardwired to LAN)... One second my PC will 'see' it, then goes to amber, and fails to connect. In any case, I would like my account deactivated and removed from any mailing lists. And is my name attached to the device, somehow? If so, can this be removed, as well? I plan to give the device away. Also, constructive feedback, when the desktop app fails to connect, rather than making it impossible to exit the application short of killing the process via TM, maybe a exit button that actually works, or something like that, would be nice, rather than trying to force the user to continuously beat their head against a wall, with a 'Try again' button, and non functioning 'x', top right corner. Thank you.

Can I group one unit Sonos Play 1 with one unit Sonos One together in a bedroom and play ANY sound from the IPad and IPhone ? Example, watch any nonYoutube and non Netflix video ?

I have an existing play 1 that I want to Group with a new Sonos One. The purpose is to use the Airplay2 support on Sonos One to watch ALL video sources (youtube, Netflix, others) via IPad and iPhone. But without using Alexa voice control feature. Will such a group set up be stable ?

I would like to keep loudness on at low level but automatically turn it off at a higher...

Sounds like people have been getting an email describing how to obtain a voucher for each controller. Why haven't I received an email?

Resetting and losing playlists is not much fun so saving them somewhere to reimport would be a sensible addition.

Sonos systems lack any type of access control. As long as anyone has access to your home network (it could be your 8-year-old child using his/her iPod or a guest who came over), they can access your Sonos system and play the music they want. My 8-year-old daughter independently installed Sonos on her iPod and every time I am playing my favorite music, she hijacks the system and plays her teenager-style music. Once I had some guests over to my house from Italy. The guy installed Sonos on his phone and 2 minutes later my speakers were playing old-fashion Italian music. If one has an open network, you could imagine neighbors playing their own music at his house. I think that a Sonos system should be password-protected.

Hi. Could you add AppleScript support for the Sonos Desktop Mac App? AppleScript makes it easy for users & other Mac apps to control Sonos. Most music players on Mac have AppleScript support, like iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Rdio, VLC etc. For instance, FinelyTuned is able to control iTunes, Spotify or Rdio via AppleScript. Unfortunately, it can't control Sonos yet, due to the lack of AppleScript support. Cheers.

I have an XBMC server that serves its library of music via UPnP. When I configure my Sonos to 'Show Rhapsody UPnP Servers', my Sonos controller will see XBMC and allow me to play music from it. However, there seems to be no means to enqueue an entire album... I must enqueue each song separately. Is there an option to enqueue entire albums from a UPnP server that I've simply overlooked, or is this action unavailable in the Sonos app?

Setting up a play one seems it sets up then I go to rooms and it says unused, clicking on the unused it says to confirm player and link to my account, After clicking on link to my account its says Account update complete. when I go back to rooms it still says unused. Have done these steps numerous time even tried doing a factory reset and I get the same thing.

I’m quite new to SONOS and have 4 SONOS one devices. I’ve got these working with AirPlay 2 and have tried to set them up in my Home app on my iPhone so I can use them with Siri. I followed the instructions and added them via the ‘dont Have code’ options and they appeared yet once I added them they didn’t appear anywhere in the home app and I can’t re-add them as they no longer appear. I’ve also tried turning the devices off and on again. Can anyone help?

I now dread upgrades. This time, like MOST SONOS UPGRADES in the last few years, After applying an upgrade I seem to have to manually reboot every single device and also reboot my wi-fi router and boost. WHY ? What is causing this? Network Matrix shows GREENS everywhere. Half my ZP's are ethernet linked. Hald on wi-f- + boost which likely isnt needed but... Never used to be this way. Shoudln't be this way. After the iphone and playbar upgrade -- all other zones were there. But choose one to play.. ....it starts.. then bombs. Then its gone from the ROOMS list. Then iPhone App cannot find Sonos. THis is 30 minutes or more after the upgrade.successful meesage. . Eventually the APp connects and now the zones are still gone. 7 zones are now down to 2 on my iPhone App. Then 3 more appear.. then they drop. Ludicrous. Its going to take me a while but I'm now actively looking into Bluesound as an alternative. Seems to have the same capabilities. SONOS - pull your

Being able to add channels and playlists to My Sonos is great. No being able to add individual "line in" items is terrible. I shouldn't have to browse through three screens everytime I want to play my TV through the system. I've checked both my android app and the PC app. It doesn't seem to be available as an option on either.

So Alexa and Cortana are now starting to integrate https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/15/17691920/microsoft-amazon-alexa-cortana-integration-preview-features It's very early in the integration, but you can now 'Open Cortana' from a Echo device. I tried it on my Show and it works fairly well. It's an odd experience though, as it's like my echo now has a split personality. And I honestly can't quite grasp where this is a benefit to me, but it's got me wanting to explore what features Cortana has. And of course, this is not available (yet?) on the Sonos One or Beam, as it's not available on any 3rd party alexa devices. Without knowing the tech or licensing required in these, hard to know that it can be easily done. The other side of this is that you can now 'Open Alexa' from a Cortana device, or at least a windows 10 PC. Eventually, it should be available on windows phones, a Cortana app, or xbox as well. I didn't think to test this last night, but in theory you should be a

Today we had Sky Q installed along with mini TV box in the kitchen (and wireless sky broadband booster hardwired back to the main Q Hub in the study). The Sonos controller works fine when next to the main Hub and Sonos Bridge in the study - all speakers in the house can be controlled and new music selected. As soon as you leave this room and the wifi signal drops, re-connecting to either the signal provided by the Q box in the lounge or booster in the kitchen (all same network name), all control of the sonos is lost. The music continues to play and volume can be adjusted but you can not stop or play new tracks. Connection to "my music" is also lost, tracks and albums just show up as greyed out discs. If I then walk back into the study and it picks the main hub signal up again, everything springs back to life. Prior to Sky Q, I was using two additional TP-Link Wireless N Access Points to provide wifi coverage throughout the house (the sonos worked fine with this system). Each
