Volume limit feature

101 requests. No reply. I don't think Sonos monitors their forums. Or they are too busy counting money or too busy trying to figure out how to pay the bills. Something is wrong with a company that does not respond to customers requests. This feature (lack thereof) is the only reason I haven't purchased additional speakers for my business. It's not like these are $5 speakers you get at the checkout aisle. Come on Sonos! Get with the times. React to your customers, please.

We have a full team here dedicated to reading every post made on the community and responding as well. We make sure to share ideas within the company, passing on suggestions and requests in a number of ways. That said, as a company we don't share a roadmap or discuss future development, so for some requests we can only say so much.

The only way to adjust the volume on players for most users is through our app, or using the physical buttons on the players. Most businesses I've seen Sonos used in have them mounted way too high for anyone to touch the buttons, and apps can only connect if they're on your wireless network, which you'll usually want to have private as well. The only people you should really have to worry about would be any employees that you've trusted with the wifi credentials.



Thanks for all the feedback everyone, and we love seeing posts like chowanec's above, a solution of sorts which people can use if they feel confident enough. We'll be sure to let everyone know if there's any news on this feature in the future.

Wow! A response! Albeit a "thank you for your thoughts" reply. Those of us interested in this simple feature add are not interested in where "most businesses mount" their Sonos speakers. Also kind of crazy that a high sought after feature can be utilized on Lenux only... come on... Just make the feature already, please.

And you wonder why nobody responds? :rolleyes

@cherrysonos the volume limit script author has a newer python script , should work in windows. See his newer thread here https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-software-228995/volume-limits-per-zone-6736790

FYI As per the script author it requires a machine also running Sonospy, also windows friendly. But you could run it in a pi.

Actually, the latest is independent of Sonospy. It's not perfect, but I'm not an engineer either. 🙂 That said, Sonospy is awesome and you should use it anyway.

Hi Sonos, I think this is one of the most urgent requests coming from clients. Unless your software development process is a mess (which I do not expect), this must be an easy thing to do. Let's do this and make clients happy!

Please Sonos develop a PIN protected limit feature. I run a holiday let business and have Sonos in my lets. My guests love it but my neighbours are not so happy when my guests get carried away with the volume! So many people are asking for this feature please do something

Thanks for the requests, I'll be sure to pass the word on to the team for you. We don't share what's coming up usually, so not news on if this feature is on the list to be worked on at the moment, but we'll let you know if there's any news that can be shared later on.

Thanks Ryan but we, Sonos clients, are getting a little fed up with receiving the same standard reply you've been issuing for the last 3 years. I think we'll just have to look at alternatives to Sonos, we certainly won't be buying any further speakers and nor will we recommend Sonos to friends/family as we have done in the past. It's such a shame as its a great product but the company clearly is not interested in client feedback; this will be its downfall in the long run

Can you tell me the alternative to Sonos which has a volume limit feature? Can you tell me the one which has publicly announced a volume limit feature is coming soon?
