Sleep timer in new app?

Not in the Sonos app but the one in the BBC Sounds app works so I can listen to Sounds whilst going to sleep on my Sonos speaker and it will stop after a preset time.

Agree with the frustration here. It was the one feature I used literally every single day. My guess (hope?) is that they are trying to fix it, because setting the timer almost never “took” the first time.

I don’t love having to shout at my speaker before going to bed, but you can tell Alexa to stop after X hour(s) and she will set a sleep timer. It’s an easy work-around until the functionality is restored. 

It’s kind of interesting to see how bad Sonios can make the user experience. At this point I’ve stopped using one of my speakers anyway, as it is just too painful to try and get working. With the lack of sleep update it’s getting towards abandoning another one.

In case anyone is interested, if you set something using the API you can set the sleep timer. In Android I have a button that pings a computer to set it. It works but it’s a silly workround. I’m using NodeRed to do the Sonos API side, if you have a raspberry pi running HA or similar it may be worth checking. If you don’t - then yeah, this is another case of Sonos removing functionality for no good reason (I guess like the ‘old’ S1 app, which I assume isn’t updated, so with older speakers you may be able to use that).

What on earth. A basic sleep timer has to be among the more commonly/frequently used features for a significant proportion of customers. Who approved pushing out an app without such a basic function? 

You need to hire a new software product manager. Pathetic implementation of a new UI.

I can't believe that they made a decision to cancel the timer, what an oversight !

Just want to chime in and say that removing the sleep timer is a major inconvenience for us. We use it frequently for our daughter to listen to audio books as she goes to sleep. Please release a new version including sleep timers asap or provide an option to roll back the old version.  

I can’t believe you removed this feature and thought it would be fine.   I use it on a daily basis and was in disbelief when I found out it was indeed gone.   At first, I thought it was just buried somewhere in the completely unnecessary reskin of the UI.

Please learn from your mistake, listen to your customers, and add it back asap.   Ugh!

I agree with the community. Sonos has gone backwards with their new app. Why they are trying to copy Spotify for their look and feel? And top of it, removed important feature like sleep timer on the iPhone app. Why Sonos Why? Disappointing to see such a product from a brand synonymous with quality… 

Very disappointed to discover this crucial feature is now conspicuously absent. Please have it reinstated urgently.
