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.

I just accidentally slide the volume up all the way and scared the hell out of myself and the whole building with my Playbar. I meant to grab the title bar but missed.

I think there should be a limit and / or a volume lock feature added to the controller.

Why are Sonos not commenting on these threads?

I'd add anothe 'Hell Yeah!' to this.
The Connect at least has the fixed volume setting with a limiter that is controlled by my amp.
Something similar for the speakers would be really useful.

It's unfortunate that Sonos haven't implemented this feature. Having to remove my speakers from an Airbnb rental due to guests playing music at loud volumes.

Another person supporting the request for this feature (limit volume by player via controller / settings).

I think that a user rights needs to be introduced (which includes volume limits). You can have the following rights. admin - access to all, with ability to restrict features to managers, users & guests plus able to set volume to predetermined limit in each zone/room. Example accounts (allocated to devices) Manager - no restriction setting ability, Access to alarms and everything else. User - volume up to pre determined limit, change source, change tracks, no alarm access, not allowed to delete playlists, etc. Guest - add songs to existing playlist only (no volume control) Stu

I would be fine with a first step of putting ("hiding") the per zone volume offsets in the settings. Toddlers, clumsiness and jittery touchscreen digitizers are my main concern. (Not that there was any recent clumsiness event that lead to this post...)

This box will now get hidden underneath the table so that nobody can turn the volume up by accident so much that it blows the speakers. I'm limiting the output of the zp90 in effect.

If the ability to set a custom maximum on the volume is introduced, it'd be nice to be able to set associated time ranges. I'm living in an apartment and what is acceptable during the day is very different to what's acceptable at 2am when a fat finger moment could wake up 4 units of people!
