any one else like to have a snooze button for the Sonos Alarm, ever tried to shut it off when you are not fully awake, have to find a smart device, unlock it, find the app, wait for it to open, find the room and hit the stop button to much effort in the morning. something like what Phillips have done with the remote switch for the HUE Bulbs (sorry for off brand) but they have a programmable button to control the lights, the same would be great for the Sonos system

    Get an Echo Dot. It makes a great alarm clock with snooze and you will eventually be able to use it to control your Sonos system.

    Amazon does not ship that product to Australia, which is where I live.

    Agreed we need a snooze function. Alarm is either on or off. Let's both write to Sonos and request this?

      The existing Play/Pause button would make a great snooze button - the Sonos knows the alarm was triggered, so could pause instead of stopping. The industry standard snooze time seems to be 9 minutes (no idea why)?

      Even better would be to reduce the volume to, say, 25% of the alarm volume, to give the user feedback that it's just snoozing, not off.

      Even better again, during snooze, the user could then ask for quiet, using the volume control (or the play/pause button?), but at the end of the snooze, it would revert to the full alarm volume (to be sure of waking the user up).

        You can use Flic buttons and SonoSequencr to either stop the alarm, reduce the volume or even stop the alarm and set a new one in 9 (configurable) minutes. The last one is currently not implemented but i will add this option if it is helpful.

        My old alarm has just broken so I found the alarm within the SONOS app. I tried it out the other day and I can not believe it does not include a basic alarm feature as a snooze button.
        You could configure any of the 3 buttons to be a snooze within the software and once the alarm has been switched off it could revert back to normal functionality.
        Is there any way to submit product ideas to SONOS for them to consider including it within the software?

        This idea has been mooted before but Sonos will see it here.

        Personally I just program 2 alarms spaced ten minutes apart so essentially the same thing.

        Hi Stuart

        I like the feature that you can set it for the days you want, so it just goes on with out having to remember setting it at night.
        I did think of that setting 2 alarms but sometimes i don't snooze and just get up.So if I have preset it for days that i am working and and got up with the first alarm, the alarm would be going off while i was in the shower haha.

        Just thought they have gone to the effort of putting an alarm in the software just would have thought it would not be to hard to include a snooze to it.

        The old 'sonos controler' had a snooze feature. I keep it in its charging cradle by my bed.
