ios app is rubish

Thanks John B
Good points i agree it is normaly easy to use in some cases,
but we use the connect amp all the time for tv sound which
works well no lip sync problems and i prefer my own speakers
for this tv sound, the problem is when i want to use my connect amp
to play music, when i want tv sound again i have to press browse
and then press line in, and then press tv room, press play now,
rather a long way to get tv sound again i think.
I know Sonos want me to buy a playbar or beam for tv but both
myself and my wife think they are ugly design but
So you are expecting Sonos to wreak havoc with firmware and controller because of your very special use case?

An easier way to switch to the TV is already in the software. Do what I suggested above (which you completely ignored) and turn on Autoplay for the Connect:Amp line-in. That will automatically switch to the TV whenever you turn the TV on. And if you are listening to music with the TV on, a simple Mute/Unmute of the TV remote will switch to the TV audio.

@jtkeep. You are clearly unaware of the product history, and your cynicism is regrettable. You have probably also missed the fact that Sonos have produced a replacement for the Connect:Amp, which, unlike the original, is designed for TV as well as music. But I have spent enough time on your comments so will not be looking further at this thread.

I am well aware of the product history, of course a critic is always negative but hopeing Sonos
would make there app more user friendly, this meant as a help to Sonos to make the app better.
And no i have noted that Sonos has a new connect amp.
I was glad that you commented on my problem, my wife has stopped useing the sonos app
she finds it to complicated.
As the app is the only way to use our Sonos system, i also bought a cm200 remote which stopped
working after 2 years.
I did find your last reply to be a rather not user friendly reply, as you dont know me and what i know.
I do hope i dont meet you again on this forum, if i post again dont bother to reply John B

I have attempted to explain to you (TWICE! ) how to configure the Connect:Amp to AUTOMATICALLY switch over to the TV, without ANY use of the Sonos app. You have ignored this advice, TWICE! Instead you continue to antagonize and insult other posters who are trying to help you.

I'll not be posting the advice again, and I suggest my fellow posters do the same.

Thanks jgatie
I did try your sugestion this did not help.
But i have found a new app sonopad this
is much better and easier to use Sonos
could learn how to make an app that is
user friendly by looking at this app.

How in the world didn't it help? You wanted an easy way to switch to TV from music, automatically switching without using the app is pretty freaking easy.

This thread is a work. Or a slow play spamming for Sonospad.

It does not help because we dont turn the tv off only at night.
I just want an easy way to change between tv sound and music
on the connect.
The sonopad does this very easily.
But again thanks for your interest.

Does your remote not have a mute button? :8
