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.
Yes, you are narrow minded and to answer your snide comments; yes and TV manufacturers do, it's called hotel mode and it's in a hidden menu which we have all said here would be fine too.  Crayons, yep there too...  they started making washable markers that outsell crayons for that very reason.  The books thing would be kind of Nazi germany book burning to do that BUT, kids stories are way less dark today, have you ever read the original Hansel and Gretel or Red Riding Hood...

It's not adapting it to a situation it's helping them improve it to fit more different scenarios.  It will still work for yours, why are you flaming posts that will not affect the way you use yours?

The fact is that development resources are limited, and as a paying customer I feel entitled to speak my mind about improvement suggestions, just like you do. We can't all be pro everything, that would mean there would be no prioritisation.

You're the one who made it personal by calling me narrow minded. Why are you flaming posts just because you disagree with the poster?

Tomas,

Maybe I should lobby Apple to remove the volume limit feature and all parental controls on the iPod on the basis that my 13 year old son is old/responsible enough not to turn it up so loud as to give himself tinnitus, or look at 18+ content? You're clearly not a parent, because if you were you wouldn't make such ignorant and unreasonable comments. Or maybe you're a serial "troll" that we keep hearing about on the news?

As a responsible parent my job is to guide my growing child, educate him and try and protect him from harm until he's old enough to make informed and rational decisions for himself. Enough said.

Tomas, when you have something constructive to say please do.

As stated by John above "It's not adapting it to a situation it's helping them improve it to fit more different scenarios.  It will still work for yours, why are you flaming posts that will not affect the way you use yours?".

How about this, Drewman... you post your views where you find them appropriate, and you let me do the same. Feel free to lobby Apple about anything you want. There. Feel better now?

As for your ignorance and unreasonable lack of parenting skills, you could contact a parenting group in your area if you want to learn more. There is help available for parents like you. If you don't get the help you desire, you could always try to pick virtual fights with strangers on the internet... d'oh!

KentNet, oh dear, here we go again. Somebody has the audacity to disagree with you, and immediately you want to shut them up. Shouting and boldfacing your words is not going to make them any more convincing.

I explained myself to John. If you really want a reply, it's already there for you to read.

Seems like you are the only person here shouting and boldfacing, you have already shown your true colours haha.
We simply make suggestions and you offer totally childish pathetic suggestions.  Hiding behind your keyboard, the stereotypical keyboard warrior hijacking forum posts with irrelevant tosh!
Thanks for your input though, as it all feeds the thread and the more content there is on the subject then there is more chance Sonos will look into our "suggestions" for their great system.
Have a nice day Tomas, being a grown up allows me to leave this here and move on in my life.  No doubt you will have to have the last word, seeya.

Just get the volume controls sorted man, there are many reasons and as far as I can see they are all valid for everybody or even just for an individual, point is they all want the same thing and it really doesn't seem to much to ask, I requested a feature to be able to control zones with permissions and lock out volumes, place limits on certain area's etc. we fitted a system in a house with 13 zones, very large house, 4 kids of varying ages, it can & did become apparent to the parents that they may have opted for a different system (as we are now fitting in other properties) if they had know that there kids could control the volume throughout the house, specially in each other's room's "volume warfare". This didn't really affect me but it did seem reasonable for them to ask the question how can we stop/control this........."sorry you can't" not a great answer for the money they spent. There is a request/suggestion by JOHAN further up and I totally agree with all his comments and suggestions, it is ideal in fact. We all want the same thing.....no?

I agree with Johan. We have Sonos in three properties and it is a great product. The inability to restrict max volumes is not a question of responsible parenting, just a practical solution that stops anti-social behaviour. I think that the best solution would be to allow a master PIN code and then individual PIN codes for each zone.
