Volume limit feature

I just bought a new One for my kids rooms and I need this feature as of five minuts ago.

They need to be able to turn the Music on and off, but that also allow them to turn the volume up, and the smallest cant help himself.

I just created a SonosController (Parental controller) to limit the volume of your Sonos Speaker

It can be found at https://github.com/zenturacp/SonosVolumeLimit

I was VERY annoyed that this is not a feature - so now its here - only bad thing is I have to run it in the background on a computer.. 😞 but works on Mac, Windows and Linux.. 🙂

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your continued interest in this feature. I'll update our teams on this request. We don't have any new information to share at this time though.

So this thread has been active for what, 5 years, and still no movement on this? 5 years worth of development time and yet a feature like this, wanted by so many, still hasn't been developed? Strange

I'm pretty certain they have not been doing nothing in that time. But it is frustrating that this and many other quick small enhancements never make it to the top of the dev list.

Would love to be able to set a volume limit. Within the first couple of minutes of purchasing my first Sonos product (a playbar) last year I experienced the iOS Spotify connect bug which caused the volume to ramp up to max. Even after I figured out how I triggered the bug I still accidentally triggered it a handful of times until the bug was fixed a couple of months later. The panic those incidents caused me could’ve been easily mitigated had a volume limit been set in place. Needless to say it has soured my first impressions of being a sonos owner and first impressions tend to stick. As well as echoing everyone else’s sentiments I’d also add that I’ve always used volume limiters to protect me from myself in a way, as I’ve always had a bad habit of slowly dialing up the volume during extended listening sessions until I realise, probably a bit late, that my ears are aching (sort of like the boiling frog fable). I can’t imagine it should be massively difficult to at least start with a universal volume limit. I would think that sorting out the easy to fix but massively frustrating issues would be a more time efficient way to make users happier in general.

YES PLEASE. Everybody I know keep complaining about this. Especially with the integrations now such as Spotify which can have some bugs and play at the loudest. I'm renting my place and people don't know the minimum volume is usually enough so they wake everybody up... Very frustrating

Hi everyone,

I really hope Sonos start listening to customers regarding this feature. I'm a big fan of the products and the software in general but like many others in this thread I've had to remove my Sonos speakers from Airbnb rental properties due to unsociable behaviour from a minority of guests. I can also see the benefits of a volume limit for those with young families and Alexa integration.

A 'no, we can't or won't' would be preferable to this radio silence on a 5 year old request.

This feature would be good. I have young children, who have access to the system. It’s not about not trusting them, but about preventing accidents. They are on a separate system already to avoid some potential complications, but it’s amazing how loud a Play:1 can go - whether or not it’s being damaged, I fear that the kids might be; as might my relationship with the neighbours! A limit would be good enough in itself; a user pin wouldn’t be unwelcome but isn’t my personal objective.
