    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 alarm nor sleeptimer is not just an upgrade, but an awfull downgrade. I cannot believe this was a serious release. Why not try a beta??

      Just installed a new version of the IOS app - and it has alarms. Not tried them, as I never use them, but at least they seem to be there.

      I am still missing My music, though.

      Are you sure it’s working properly now? Can we select our own alarm or is the only option the Sonos signal? I have never experienced this kind of mess after having updated an app.

      “Hi all,

      With the latest update, alarms are now available in the Sonos app.”

       

      The alarm clock has been back since 80.00.08, but ....The alarm clock with a desired wake-up time of 6.30 only wakes up with a two-hour delay, at 8.30 am. Could it be that the current local time is not being used?

      So the latest update.  What a total and utter disaster.

      I can’t edit or stop any alarms, what the dickens are you supposed to do (we don’t have any apple devices) it means we are stuck with our alarms going off at the same time every day for evermore (school holidays in a week and a half)

      I can no longer search for a song on my NAS based music, only navigate to it if I happen to know where it is.

      Where’s the alarm feature on the app. Can’t seem to find it on this new update or did they get rid of it?

      They I think mistakenly deleted it in the redesign, but sorry only a little, as promises of a reinstall is on its way. Time taken will be a major factor in restoring confidence.

      Thank you for the information on the alarms. I reinstalled the app and the alarms appeared on system settings> manage, for a few minutes,  but they have now disappeared again. 
      Also my playlists on Qobuz have disappeared- everything else on Qobuz is there.  And the playlists are still on the old version of the app.

      I don’t know what to say other than there is a pretty big update coming and if you have highlighted the issues your having and they are substantial enough for a code redesign then they should be observant to customers and add this. I made my issue perfectly clear. No alarm no Sonos. Justifiably simple basic function.

      I updated to the latest version of the app, still no alarm function. I really don’t understand who thought that it would be a good idea to not include the alarm function in the app at Sonos… please bring this function back as soon as possible.
