sleep timer missing on new app

I’m sorry but I just don’t understand how an intelligent (presumably) professional development team can leave off something as fundamental as a timer for a music system, particularly when the previous edition of the app had one. This is kindergarten stuff! And it is obviously not going down well with loyal SONOS fans. Looks like it might be time to upgrade to BOSE...

I’m yet another disgruntled user - in relation to the new ‘improved’ app!!

2 words - SLEEP TIMER

Love my Sonos products but the app is now terrible!!

Why does everyone these days have to ‘fix’ things that aren’t broken?! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does anybody at SONOS read these comments, would they like to explain why and whether it may come back the timer function? before we all more to another brand - at more cost to many

It‘s back. From:

We never intended to ship without Alarm Settings.

(I am copying this in since the threading is difficult to follow here)

On the morning of the app launch, we discovered a data corruption error around the new Alarms APIs. The corruption could cause alarms to go off in the wrong room at the wrong volume with the wrong content! In order to save your alarms, we made the difficult decision to remotely disable the alarm settings feature and then completely lock it out. It allowed us to make sure your alarms stayed as they were - but at the steep cost of taking away your ability to change them yourself.

The team rallied to make sure we could turn this feature back on safely. You can have Alarm Settings back right now!

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

Moderator edit: Note - this relates to Alarms and not to Sleep Timers (which are the topic of this thread).

I did these steps but still don’t find a timer. What am I missing?

Here is an old Version of the sonos app that still has the sleep timer turn off auto update in Playstore to be safe

Bad Job from Sonos on the new App.if an update is an downgrade that an update i dont want to have…

And leave a bad review on in the AppStore where you list all features your now missing.

Hopefuly they listen and make an actual good update that not a downgrade

I realised that you can use the alarm function as a sleep timer! On the Settings  tab under Manage. So pleased and don’t know why Sonos haven’t  made notification of this.

My iPad’s Sonos App is still the old one with “Sleep Timer” function - Did NOT Work ! I woke up 2 days where music has been playing the whole night ! 

A revamp of UI should have kept all the existing feature.

You can use the Alarm function instead.

For example set alarm for 23:15 add the source fto

 Sonos favourites and set timer for 30 mins and it will play and then turn off.
