Volume limit feature

I am a builder and have installed these in a few homes, the issue is when the client comes back to me and asks how they can stop there children from having a volume war, basically changing music and ramping up the volume in each others rooms, also clients asking similar question but maybe having young babies which which are sleeping. definetly need to have some sort of password protection on 2 levels volume/playlist with a main controller that can allow or disallow access. I have to let clients know this is an issue and some have opted not to have as many as they would have like and more often than not for me to supply a system they can actually control 😞 . I have discussed this with Sonos and they agree this is a good idea and they can see the issues. Definetly been under consideration too long.
I certainly have been, pah. I wish your clients the best of luck when it comes to asking jeans manufacturers to build in a system making it impossible to unzip when there's a member of the opposite sex nearby, or when they want to ask car manufacturers to let them remotely control how fast the teen's car is allowed to drive.

Thank you. We might get there eventually. Here in Sweden we already have a remedy for one of these issues in place 😉

Trust the Swedes to be at the forefront. Volvo should have adopted the Vorsprung durch technik saying 😉

More irrelevant comments making light of an issue that doesn't matter as much to them. While it is an engineering feat to make a car that keeps teens from driving fast, Chevy has already done it and I think Ford and Volvo too. As far as Jeans that don't unzip, they were actually the first jeans ever made. They started out as button-fly (no zipper to unzip) so if these impossible things can be done, why can't a simple change be made by the engineers. Change volume from a range of integers from 0-100 be a range from 0-x where x is a value (defaulted to 100) set in a menu. If they want to appease a broader group of people they could also make a settings pin-code lockout. We are not talking about hacking North Korean launch codes, this is simple programming people. If I was privy to the source code it could be done in 15 seconds.

As far as the childish war games go, all you have to do is set them up as separate systems. Then only they have access to their bedroom system. They would have to gain physical access to it and learn themselves into it. It defeats the purpose of easy wireless mesh networking but if you have hardlines in place, it is a pretty easy fix.

You start with "due respect" and then you call him an inadequate parent? There have been quite a few legitimate reasons for desiring (no...make that expecting) a volume limit feature. If your contribution after all of those sound reasons is simply "be a better parent", then why bother saying a word to us?

As you said, it defeats the purpose...

Sorry, Digital, you might suffer from a slight misunderstanding here. I said "IF he doesn't do as told, THEN that is a parenting problem". I don't know if he does as he is told, and nowhere do I call Drewman an inadequate parent. Are you suggesting that it's great parenting to teach your children to do as they please without listening to what they're being told? Furthermore, I offered Drewman a simple solution which is likely to work far quicker than raising (more or less sensible) feature requests on the internet. If you don't like people speaking their mind and offering input, why do you bother participate in a user forum?

Pure unadulterated hyperbole and totally unsubstantiated claims based on total ignorance.

It is precisely because I am a responsible parent that I ask for this feature. I also have a Sonicwall firewall with full parental control to stop my kids accidentally looking at pornography and violence online. No computers or TV in bedrooms, etc., etc. The volume is limited on his iPod so he doesn't damage his hearing, and actually, my kids do generally do what they're told. To date I would not have had to use the volume limit feature, but because I'm a sensible sort of chap, I think that this would be a sensible sort of feature. Parental controls on all electronic devices are just plain common sense, that's all. You're perfectly at liberty to disagree, of course.
