We have been seeing a large spike in my wifi data (Xfinity) and have would like to make sure that we are streaming in cellular (unlimited plan) and playing to Sonos from Spotify. Please help me get this setup or show me how to check the data useage.

    "And i think only connects anonymous data if you agree in the controller."

    Where is this located in the app?

    That's a toggle on the website. You'll go to Sonos.com/myaccount and turn it off there. The players will still phone home for some things, like getting updated listings of music services and radio stations.

    Just a random thought, though. Are you stopping the streaming of the data, or are you just turning down the volume? I'd agree that it seems odd for anything on Sonos to be using that much data.

    Hi,
    I have an issue with my ASDL connection and rather than pay to have that fixed I’m waiting for the free fibre connection. Anyway this means that I am using cellular data for the next month. I have a lightning to HDMI connector. I use that to mirror my phone on the TV. The TV then plays Spotify/Netflix/Freeview radio or whatever is on the TV to my playbar automatically.

    I can the use another phone that is connected to the wifi (but does not have internet access) to group the playbar to a play1 in another room.

    This means we can still stream Spotify indirectly but to the Sonos Speakers.
