iPort XPress Setup Problem - No Sonos players found

I’m setting up my 1st iPort XPress. I get it connected to my Wifi. The next step is “Choose your Sonos”. I get the error “No Sonos players found”. I can then switch over to my Sonos app and see all of my Sonos components. 

 

Any ideas?

The reply from iPort is:

We have become aware that Sonos just did an update on their platform which has caused some xPRESS keypads to no longer control the devices they were bound to.  In order to resolve this concern, please do the following:

 1. Fully charge your xPRESS keypad until the LED indictor turns green.
 2. Conduct a firmware update on the xPRESS keypads by simultaneously holding down the Play/Pause and Volume UP keys for 12 seconds until the LED begin to flash purple.
 3. Wait until the firmware update is complete as indicated by a flashing while LED, then test the keypad for Sonos control.

same best way to get answer - with iport.  Hopefully someone posts here that actually speaks to iport and lets everyone know what is happening on their end.

Hi, I’m setting up my iPort XPress. I get it connected to my Wifi. The next step is “Choose your Sonos”. I get the error “No Sonos players found”. I can then switch over to my Sonos app and see all of my Sonos components. In order to resolve this concern, I do the following:

 1. Fully charge your xPRESS keypad until the LED indictor turns green - OK

 2. Conduct a firmware update on the xPRESS keypads by simultaneously holding down the Play/Pause and Volume UP keys for 12 seconds until the LED begin to flash purple - nothing happens

 3. Holding down the Next Track Button and Volume UP keys for 12 seconds the LED lights purple    up only once and then flash white
 
Afterwards I keep getting the error “No Sonos players found” :(

Ask for your help with the firmware update. Thanks.

Firmware reload is accomplished by pressing the play/pause and volume DOWN buttons.

Thanks :) i could select the Sonos players -pairing successful

But it does not work correctly - play/pause or any other function does not work on the iport. In the sport app the device can be selected on the second try, scene setting or favorites does not work either.

What happened?
