Sonos alarm/clock - display the time

Yes, it should have 2 alarms, too, like the Bose Wave radio. And here are more ideas for you: . configurable as a stereo pair (think his & hers units) . configurable as video surround speakers for our bedroom TV. . battery back-up feature (power does go out here overnight from time-to-time) C'mon Gordon, you can do this!! Bring 'our' ideas to the planning meeting. We're counting on YOU!!! Thanks 😉

Put me down for at least 3!

Sonos 1: almost there - but where's the clock?

I had the same feeling, nice size but no clock... for me a very simple 7 segment display would do (preferably red). NO LCD, as I had this on a streaming device (Tangent Quattro MK II) and with the backlight level set to 1 still way to much light but not able to read it, with backlight set to 3 good to read, but also able to read a book. Good replacement for the Play 3 I currently have on my bedside table it is a bit big. 2 of these will do really nice.

...and to keep the thread alive:

I also had the idea of a smart clock for the bedroom and luckily found this idea already listed :\

Here are some ideas from my side:

• Definitely needs a battery backup in case of power loss
• Smart (preferably light white) LED display with adjustable brightness, LCD with backlight sucks, as mentioned above)
• Doesn't need to be as big as the Play:1/3, but same form factor would be nice, too
• Doesn't need to be as powerful as the Play:1/3, I wannabe waked up, not scared  - thus a slow increase of the volume would be nice (already listed in one of the above comments)

I guess, that's it. When can I beta test the new alarm clock or place my order?

Dear Sonos team, we appreciate your announcement of the new hardware!

I'd buy one. And if you added a decent tuner, and perhaps a CD player, it becomes a line in for the rest of the sonos components around the house.

I also would love the alarm clock product and would buy one immediately. Please Sonos consider bringing this out soon.

My daughter wants one for her birthday!

Me, too!!! :)
Start simple: clock with dimmable light, snooze/alarm-off button, backup-battery, configuration via Sonos app.
Then expand with volume control, integrated radio, configurable for TV surround ...

Me too. I would buy it.
