Volume limit feature

Having a maximum limit would enable me to but another SONOS unit. I would like to have wired outside speakers connected to a SONOS unit, but I'm so worried about accidentally increasing the volume too much and annoying the neighbours, that I dare not do it.. If I could limit it to say 10% of volume, then I could buy it without worrying. 

This is surely such a simple feature to implement that I am stunned and gobsmacked that Sonos have not implemented it yet!!! 

My 14 month old son almost blew my bedroom speakers this morning and more importantly gave himself a terrible fright.... FFS!

Implement the feature SONOS!

+1

We'd use it in our vacation rental - otherwise we might need to remove our sonos entirely, sadly.

I would also like a volum limit per room.

Add the ability to set a PIN protected volume limit per zone. Please add this feature!!

Hi Sonos, if you are listening.

Three years since this feature request was mooted, and new products released since then, so I post here more out of hope than expectation.

Volume limiting for individual zones is truly a deal breaker for me. I'd love to buy four Play 1 units for my kids rooms, but without the means of setting a maximum output there is no way I will consider it. Sure, they should do as they're told and "turn it down", but I'm also thinking of the fact that flat out, or given an accidental volume hike, the units will be blown, not to mention the nerves of those around at the time. Not to mention the neighbours when we are out and unable to keep an ear on the tykes.

So come on Sonos. It's surely not too hard a feature to implement in software without affecting the overall performance of the unit. Perhaps the 2018 update then?

Sonos units will not blow if played at full volume, they are designed to protect themselves, the maximum available volume on a play unit is the maximum safe volume for that unit.

If it's that much of a deal breaker for you though then perhaps you should go for a competitor that offers this feature?

We will never ever max out the volume on these speakers. I can't imagine going above the middle of the scale. We dislike loud noises and it makes me nervous that I can so easily blast loud sound out of these by accident. I would really appreciate a way to set a personal maximum on each PLAY1 and then have the entire scale range over the acceptable volumes, instead of having half the scale as a lurking danger. Either that, or have an alternate style volume control with an increase/decrease rather than a slider.
