It would be great if SONOS made a sonos 2 clock radio with a digital screen showing the time and all the normal features. A smaller bedroom version of the sonos where if you wake up at 5am and wanna know the time you can just look yet also have all the great features that sonos otherwise brings. Got to be a good seller and far cheaper than buying the controller to just keep in the dock showing 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 😉

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.

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 ...
