Sonos Beam, night mode schedule function

It would be nice if we were able to schedule when the night mode and dialogue modes are on and off like when you set alarms.
We always use both modes in the evening and only dialogue during daytime. Now I have to turn night mode on and off every evening on my phone which is a little annoying to me. I would rather have them automatically turn on during specific hours and turn them off manually the few times I don't want to use them in the evening.

    Yup, but as I said in my post I’d rather see the development time and resource spent elsewhere.

    And theirin lies the rub. What is one persons must have new feature is simple Meh to another.

    I'd like to see this feature, along with lots of other simple enhancements but given the GA and Alexa stuff ging on I don't expect these to be a priority for Sonos.

    It would be a great if Sonos had a quick wins dev team to do this a a number of other changes that would be small but make a big usability hit.

      Can you make it so you can switch Night mode off with Alexa as well as switch it on? Or else put a schedule setting on so it can be automatic...
      This is a great speaker system but night mode doesn’t really do what it should if you have to remember to put it on and off

      +1. This seems like such an obvious feature to have. If you can’t offer it in your own app can you at least open up night mode control to HomeKit or Alexa integrations so I can make my own schedule.

      I’ve got a 2019 LG TV integrated with HomeKit and do all kinds of scheduling magic with on/off control and inputs. It puts Sonos to shame in terms of their integration.

      Adding support for this feature request.  It came up as the kids get up earlier than everyone else and turn on the TV.  The bass resonates through the house early in the morning.

      I would think the simplest development path would be to make this an IFTTT option.

      Bumping this. It seems to be a really obvious feature that wouldn’t be a great shake to implement.

        Just did a search for this and am bummed it’s not a feature. Seems like an obvious one to add. 
         

        The less users need to use the Sonos app the better the platform is!

          Scheduling ‘Night Mode’ and ‘Speech’ should be a feature. Not sure how this has been overlooked by Sonos as it is sorely needed. Absolutely no excuses for not doing it. Sonos have really let themselves down here.
