Sonos have neglected to include an alarm function in the app update as of 9th May 2024. very disappointed. Also a number of music services have been affected. I am sure this is an oversight - but with no communication from Sonos or announcement, it does not build confidence. Also - to cut off older systems and speakers is terribly bad form. Hopefully the Sonos event on the 14th will have everything resolved? Can we get some reassurance from Sonos customer service please?

Ils ont retiré la fonction alarme de l’application…. je désapprouve au plus haut niveau cette pratique! faire une MAJ et retirer des fonction, je suis tellement frustré que j’en parle a mes amis….. en 24h journée j’ai déjà convaincu 2 acheteur a choisir une autre compagnie. Jai également mis un étoile sur leur application.

Dommage car j’étais extrêmement satisfait…… AVANT

I’d probably be mad with you too for using an alarm feature you probably got yesterday and didn't think to put a backup Alarm in place until you had tested things and were sure all were working. I’d prefer to employ someone that tries to think ahead. I am retired now, but I always had a backup alarm in case of power-outages anyway.

yup this is good advice Ken, we all know Sonos doesn’t do enough testing of the software so you gotta do your own beta testing to make sure it works 🤣

+1 for the updating to 80.00.08 and force-restarting (done three power cycles!) and still not seeing alarms.

It did however finally kill the connection to my SMB1 NAS box though which had been working on .00 - .04

This doesn’t bode well for the ongoing updates does it?

Ken thank you for the good advice. I won't count on my sound system that cost thousands of dollars because why would I assume it would work...... So I will go and buy a 10 dollar wind up alarm clock

Thanks Ken, that's really good advice. I won't count on my system that cost thousands of dollars. I will go out later and buy a 10 dollar wind-up alarm clock. I like that idea. I am so stupid for thinking Sonos has a functional alarm clock in the recent update. I would never want to jeopardize my employment because I dream of retiring one day and spending my day on the message boards of a company with a malfunctioning alarm clock

I just personally would not rely on any electric-only connected alarm for ‘work’ anyway - I’d at least have my charged-up phone alarm as a backup, or even a wind-up clock. I’d sooner just employ a person with a bit of initiative aswell.

Here’s hoping you’re not posting these things, when on your Bosses time too, as you may upset them further ..and the dream of retiring, might be further away than you are perhaps hoping for.
