Add the ability to set a PIN protected volume limit per zone.

Hi everyone, starting today with Sonos 9.2 there's the ability to use the mobile controller for Android or iOS to set a maximum volume for each of your Sonos players. This setting is protected by your Sonos user account, so you'll need to log into the system to set it up. The whole volume bar will still go from 0-100, but 100% will now reflect what your volume limit is set to. This has the added benefit of being able to get more granular control of players at low volume, as the volume steps will scale up or down with the max volume.

Feel free to play around with it and see what you think.

Denon Heos has it on one product that I know of.

Of course if @AshleyIBZ et al wanted to roll their own, LMS has a number of different volume limit, lock and security features. A few Raspi will get it done. Or you could try it with the speakers you own using the Sonos/upnp plugin.

We are going to look at Denon Heos as we're not "techies" and just want a simple solution. Looks like the Sonos system will be sold on eBay!

@Ashley Bluesound also has it. This isn't an endorsement, I've never used the Denon or bluesound systems.

It's to easy to set max volume by mistake. and we have the app in pc and in phones 2 times last week we have max volume in one zone it was an mistake but it's not fun to distroy 3 speakers. So plz fix so you can set an volume limit in every zone. Or if the speaker get damage you repair if by guarantee? I also needed to install sonos app two times because it have max volume from start when I downloaded the app android .so plz fix this or we change to another brand soon .

You are not going to "destroy 3 speakers." Sonos Play units are already hardware limited to prevent damage at full volume.

I am so disappointed that nothing has happened in regards to this. I easily would have bought Sonos systems for my kids rooms, but without this basic feature that's not going to happen.

What system has this "BASIC FEATURE" ... Basic feature would mean its standard with everything. I have never seen this BASIC FEATURE in any system I have owned.

Comments like that belittle your cause.

Basic feature would be "my mouth" telling my son to turn the music down.

They do have the basic feature in that they have circuit that keeps the Play speakers from playing so loud they damage the speaker.
