Hey guys, please tell me you are going to or have already started working on a control for Sonos from the apple watch, I use my iPhone or iPad all the time but a watch control would be awesome.

      Ok how about we turn this into a positive thread. The purpose of any thread regarding Apple watch would be pointing out what we would like to see in an Apple watch app if it were ever to happen. Bruise especially with Apple watches already could give insight into user interface and what does and doesn't work as far as other watch app interfaces. Me Album cover art transparent background Track name pause Volume up/down Next track Maybe a subpage with repeat mix cross fade Subpage speaker selection / grouping Can any of the hard buttons be configured by the app like the recessed button being a play/pause ?
      Great ideas! Could the digital crown be used as a volume control, while in the Sonos app? Is using the physical controls like that possible in the apple watch sdk?

      Looks like gestures only now. Like slide finger up volume up.

      There seems to be this horizontal slider in the music app. Maybe that could be used.

      Access to the digital crown isn't available for third party app developers yet 😞

      The Sonos app needs a watch interface, period. Anyone with a soul knows that. With the dependence on the app itself it's a no brainier. Can't wait. Please soon!
