Simple ? - How to turn off

Try X10 sockets. Then you can turn them off from a central controller.

Hmm...
interesting, just googled for X10, tx for the tip!

Thanks for this discussion, helpful indeed to understand why there is no on/off switch on the Connect box.
I would like to look at this design choice from a new angle, i.e. power consumption.
My Connect box is hot, even hours after I have paused the music. To me, it means the electronics inside is on, and draining significant current night and day. :o
Is it normal operation? what is the power (W) dissipated in this mode? will it reduce the life time of the device?
Thanls for your comments.

You can choose to switch off the whitelight in Settings.

Since the post you quoted is more than nine years old I imagine the 'son' in question has grown up, left home and started a family by now... 😉

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I have a quick question. If I was to go on holiday and unplugged my Play 1 speakers from mains power, would they remember their settings when I returned and and connect automatically to the network, or would I have to set them up as new Sonos components? Thanks.

Welcome to the forums.

Sonos units retain all their settings when they're unplugged. Just plug them in again when you get back, starting with the one wired to your router.

In fact if you were to use Add a Sonos Component to set things up all over again you could lose settings.

Thanks for the welcome and the speedy reply! Much appreciated.

Hi I one of these dads that religiously tries to turnoff everything at night, with fire safety in mind , we have a playbar, should I unplug it, or is this generation of new electronics etc okay to be left plugged in, White light still on.
