hello, there is conflcting information online that sonos beam 1st gen is compatible to the latest SONOS APP, the black icon they call S2 - does anyone have the 1st gen Beam working on the latest Sonos App?

 

any comments appreciated - thanks

 

PS i do have a mixture of early sonos products and the new ones Arc Ultra / FIVE and trying to connect the Beam to this network

Yeah, I have a friend that has the Beam (gen1) working on the latest Sonos App too, if that helps… note that compatible products are shown here in this Sonos support link (the Beam (gen1) is shown in the second section on this page):

​@Mr Wright UK, I’ve got a Beam 1st gen, it is compatible with the current S2 app.

        thank you for the replies - this confirms that my beam 1st gen will work with new Sonos App but when i search to add the beam to my Sonos Black Icon App - it does not find it :(

        Is the Beam in setup mode (flashing green status LED) before you start setup via ‘add product’ etc.

        Maybe this link will assist you…

          ​@Mr Wright UK, If you haven’t already, perform a factory reset on the Beam and subsequently add it to your existing system.
