    Hi all,

    With the latest update, alarms are now available in the Sonos app. You’ll need the latest version of the Sonos app and speaker firmware to have them show, and steps are posted in the Sonos App Redesign AMA, which are:

    1. Update your app to:
      1. iOS: 80.00.08 - available now in the App Store
      2. Android: 80.00.05 - available now in the Play Store
    2. Update your firmware to 79.0-52294 - available now via the Sonos App:
      1. Tap the settings gear in the top right
      2. Select “Manage” next to your system name
      3. Select System Updates
      4. Select Check for Updates
    3. Launch the Sonos app twice in order to guarantee we fetch the latest feature flags:
      1. Start the Sonos app
      2. Force quit the app
      3. Start the Sonos app again

    Once you’ve performed the above, you’ll find alarms in the Sonos app under System Settings (⚙) → Manage → Alarms.

    You can view the current roadmap on our article for Future Feature Updates in the New Sonos App and also in the Release Notes for Sonos software updates.

    No timer no alarm settings widgets on Android gone. Workaround to use desktop pretty inconvenient to say the least. Pretty much a failed roolout for me.

      Is there a way to access the alarms function in the new App?

      This was a key reason that we selected Sonos over other brands, if this is going away then we’ll be glad to go back to analog alarm clocks and buy other speakers.

      Last I checked Bose was still offering this feature as standard.

      Developers, Please let us know that this is simply an oversight and not a permanent change.

      Thanks

        The new app removed the alpha index from the home library. It takes half a minute to scroll through the artist list and much linger to scroll through the song list. I also don't find alarm controls.

          Why hasn't the Alarm Clock function been included in the version 80 android version?

           

          The FAQ says it will be available at a later date.

          So when does Sonos think that will be? One week? One Month? One Year?

          Really disappointed that it had been included in this latest update.🤬🤬🤬

            Alarm not available in version 80. No timeline when this will be updated in a future release. I updated not knowing this feature is currently unavailable. What’s the ETA when this will be put back? Terrible from Sonos.

              Turn previous ALARMS OFF now that you have no control over WHEN SONOS alarms go off?? This is completely ridiculous!

              also, PLEASE stop asking me if I want “free shipping” every time I open support site! Definitely don’t want to order any new sonos products after this experience with Sonos.

                  Dreadful update two days ago.  The alarm setting is missing and the Widget has disappeared.  Any ideas?  I can't get through to Sonos people.

                    I have a Sonos one and I had turned on a 7.25am alarm 3 days ago on the old app. 
                    Now on the new app, there is no alarm function but my alarm still went off this morning at 7.25am 

                    I did say last night “Alexa cancel all alarms” and she said there was no alarms set. 
                    How can I turn off historic alarms from the old app?

                      Why have sonos removed the sleeptimer and alarm function in the new app. 

                      Now its useless. Not to the better site
