SONOS. STOP THE UPDATES

simply turn off automatic updates. Problem solved. Life will be groovy.
ALL UPDATES DISABLED ON ALL DEVICES. Yet...Happened again this morning.

...my iPad, iPhones and any other electronic device; they must stay updated to work smoothly, no?
NO. They do not. How many times do you update your toaster, washing machine, refrigerator, DVD player, television? NEVER. This is an appliance. Not a computer. I bought speakers to listen to music. The system I bought a couple of years ago was fine. I don't need Alexa or any other feature upgrades. Don't force updates on customers.

ALL UPDATES DISABLED ON ALL DEVICES. Yet...Happened again this morning.

There hasn't been an update for weeks.

And in case you haven't noticed, Sonos is not a toaster or a washing machine (even though there are many major appliances that require updates nowadays, like refrigerators, TV's and yes, washing machines).

I don’t for the life of me know what the hub bub is with updating the Sonos gear? while it updates, enjoy the silence. We don’t get much time to do that in this busy busy world.

Well isn't life just rosy for you. You obviously don't have kids or other interruptions going on around you.

Music is the thing that calms our house and brings serenity to what is otherwise chaos. All I wanted this morning was some relaxing background music while we get ready for the day.

I'll say again... ALL UPDATES DISABLED ON ALL DEVICES. Yet when I turn Sonos on, at the most critical of times I get interrupted and told "NO MUSIC FOR YOU" (did the soup nazi design this app?)

Click, prompt, ignore, cancel, app shuts down, If say no to either, I get bounced out of the app, or Sonos says, well bad luck for you, we're going to limit your functionality (like no EQ). reopen app, I click update. Device App updates. App shuts down. Reopen app. Now I have to update the controllers. read, curse, accept, waiting to update controller....

Now the wife nagging, go get breakfast ready. Daughter running around agitating, because I'm not getting her breakfast ready and ignoring her. She wants to play with the ipad I'm holding in my hands, so I'm blocking the kid with one hand, holding device in another. Then the TV gets turned on and tantrums now that music overrides the tv speakers.

15 minutes later. The house is at war. So, screw you with your new age mantras. There is no silence when sonos updates. We were a happy household until SONOS put itself first and interrupted us.

Those hipster SONOS coders and their idealistic lifestyles need to understand what goes on in the real world. No doubt their software updates KPI's are being met though, so as long as they're happy. Self centred pricks.

Sonos is not a toaster or a washing machine.
Sonos are speakers. Speakers are an appliance, "like" a toaster. This is called an analogy.

My updates never mess anything up . . . bring em on.

Modern appliances have updates. This is called a fact.

Don't like it? Don't buy modern appliances.

And now you can be paranoid that an update is going to brick one of your devices that Sonos deems unfit to live.

Sonos deems? You mean Apple deems! So life moves on. No paranoia just adjust to the times.

Effectively Apple is not supporting a ton of devices because of airplay2 appears. And Sonos is adding airplay2. Huh wonder if a device may not be capable of handling the new coding? Go figure.

Sorry man, but you need to get control over your household. If all hell breaks loose because there is no music, you've got much bigger problems on your hands than Sonos updating.
