Volume limit feature

Finally

Thanks Harry 🙂

Sonos, are you going to implement this feature or not? Why is someone from Sonos not replying with some sort of feedback on what your intentions are? 

Wow, I'm amazed Sonos does not have this yet. I came on here to see if there was a way to do this and I'm shocked people have been requesting this feature as long as they have yet it has been ignored. Luckily I've only purchased 1 component thus far and I still have time to send it back. Packing it up today. Good luck to everyone else trying to get it resolved.

My Playbar is connected to my HTPC and it always seems to start up on a low volume. I end up maxing the HTPC out and then have to get up and physically turn the volume up.

Does anyone know how to set the default start volume?

Hi all, 
I'll be joining forces with you (if it helps) as I really think that this feature should and must be implemented. Currently, status has changed to "under consideration"... let's just hope that I will be changed to planned soon....

A way to get do this is to let a superuser (by typing a PIN-code) choose a "super-controller" (e.g. your iPhone), which lets you set the volume "limits". Afterwards, then all speakers and controllers are limited by this selection and the new limits are depicted as the "entire" volume slider on all controllers.

Make sense?

I really hope you'll plan this asap, as this is very much needed especially in the children's rooms :-)

Take care,

There seem to be two slightly differing requirements here, or at least one requirement with an additional feature required by some.

1. The ability to limit the usable volume range per Sonos device. The entire slider area should then become available for finer grained use up to that new, lower, maximum.

2. The ability to then somehow lock this new limit under some form of parental or admin control.

Personally I just need the first, and suspect even those also requiring 2. would welcome it if it means implementation sooner rather than later 🙂

I agree.
The most vital of the two options are defo #1. The ability to lock the settings menu in the controller seems of less importance.
Fingers crossed ;) 

+1 for #1 
I really need to be able to set the maximum volume at a lower level. To protect my system and to protect my ears.
Every room is different. In my bathroom everything above 35-40% is insane and painful. 
This is a huge issue to me.

Example of maximum volume settings:

Room:                  Player:       New Allowed Volume:
Living Room:      Connect    (100%)
Dinning Room:   Play:5        (60%)
Kitchen:                2x Play:3   (60%)
Bathroom:            Play:1        (40%)

Or at least just do it the same way as when i set the input volume, when using the Line In on the Connect.
If i already can define the allowed volume on the Connect in 10 levels, then why am i not allowed to do the same on the Play speakers?

+1 for that

+1 for this. 

Completely agree that a "max" volume limit per zone is absolutely required.  One of the work-arounds I've been using so far is to use the volume control on my tablet (or phone) when the Sonos app is full screen.  The volume of Sonos will then only jump one "click" at a time, which has helped me minimize the number of accidental "full volume" type situations.  Not ideal, but that's how I've dealt with it so far.
