Sonos System with missing rooms on Google Nest Wifi

I have my Sonos system connected to Nest wifi pro. Every few days or so one of my speakers or rooms of my Sonos system disappears. I have to then restart my WiFi network and then the problem is solved. But then it happens again in a few days. What can I do to stop this from happening?

The Sonos app on iPhone doesn't detect the Sonos system (iOS 17.4.1).

Is there any issue with the Sonos app for users using iPhone 15 Pro with iOS version 17.4.1? The phone can't seem to find the system, whereas the iPad works fine and detects the system. Is this a problem with the app or the iOS version 17.4.1?

Recommended setup for 1st time user

Hello,This is my first time investing in speakers and I am looking for recommendations for setup. I have a 65 inch LG TV in my living room and the distance between the screen and the sofa where I usually watch TV is 137 inches. This is an apartment and my living room is open with kitchen. The whole dimensions for the living room including kitchen should be 820 cm length and 462 breadth. In terms of cost, I want to limit it to 1000 euros as I will eventually move out of this apartment for a big home. Here are the two setups I am considering:Beam Gen 2 with 2 Era 100’s Standalone ArcWhich setup would be best for my setup ? I have heard that beam gen 2 is only good for TV’s up to 55 inch ? But on the other hand some articles suggest beam 2 with 2 era 100’s provide better value for money and sound profile. Can someone help a noob out ?

Question on steps for adding app on new device to existing system

I want to add a new device to my existing system, so I downloaded the S2 app to the new device and chose Add to existing system. Then the app tells me to press a button on a device, but what happens when I do that? Will the app connect to my existing system and find ALL my connected speakersor just the one on which I pressed the button? And will pressing the button on that speaker remove it from my other devices app?

IKEA Symfonisk- Spotify not in S2

Hi there, we bought an IKEA Symfonisk wall speaker and it looks and sounds great. However, neither myself (android) nor my wife (IOS) can find Spotify in S2. We rebooted everything, changed networks, reinstalled apps, but nothing. It is nowhere to be found in the list of services in S2. My wife managed to connect Spotify with the speaker once without S2. Only once however. My Spotify sees the speaker but cannot connect to it. Keeps flashing and saying connecting... Anyone with a similar challenge or experience to help? BestAnestis

Sonance 8.2 landscape series and two zone setup

I am installing the 8.2 landscape series Sonance system. I am trying to figure out how to zone out the gazebo area with 2 6/12 70W satellite and one 300W subwoofer. I’d like to be able to quite the main zone and use zone 2 for the gazebo area louder than the other zone. While the 2-channel amp provided can handle the entire system, is there a way to separate zones with this? Or do I need another amp for the other zone. Lastly, would a Sonos amp be able to handle the power of the 2 70W sat and 300W sub?Thanks for the advice!

macOS controller in update loop (16.1)

Having an issue with the macOS Controller on my M1 MacBook Pro since the 16.1.1 install a few weeks back.Whenever I load the controller it says ‘We need to get Sonos running on the latest software. Choose Check for Updated to get started.’I press Check and it comes up with ‘No update required. Your Sonos system is up-to-date.’I have deleted the app and reinstalled. I then deep-deleted the app (from ~Library etc) and reinstalled. Same issue.The app and updater has permissions to update under Security > Privacy etc.If I press ‘Continue using the SONOS app’ it then goes to searching and then puts me in a similar loop which is‘Some of your products aren’t registered to your Sonos account. Let’s register them now so you can use them’.I log-in and it goes back to ‘No update required.Can anyone suggest what to do now? I’ve tried ‘Reset App’ etc too.thanks

Portable speakers

Feature Request: Allow limiting the max charge of battery-powered products.

Hiya! This is gonna be one heck of a first post for this forum. I’ve had a Sonos Roam for a while now, and I love the thing. Really, I do, or at least I did… then I started worrying. I had to RMA my first unit the year I got it, because the battery health had worn down so far during its usage cycle that it refused to start up anymore. For reference, this is what I experienced: The Roam refused to respond to the power/bluetooth sync button, media buttons, or microphone button. The Roam’s lights would not turn on, and the speaker would not connect to the local network. The speaker would let the power light fade on, sit a moment, then abruptly shut off entirely when at rest on its wireless charging pad. The speaker would not respond to the support rep’s “plug it in and leave it overnight” troubleshooting step. Later on in the day, I found that often times, the Roam and other battery-powered Sonos products relied on their batteries for things like keeping the internal clock running. When m

Sonos Roam keeps disconnecting while playing

We use our Roam to play white noise in our daughters room. The speaker is set up in her room on the wireless charger. Previously it always worked fine, and then now it randomly just drops out and appears as “not connected” in the Sonos app. It’ll play for an hour or so, and then it disappears. Hard rebooting the speaker via the button on the back returns it to the app and makes it usable again, but it’ll play for another hour or so and then randomly stop and disappear. For reference: my home sonos system runs on Sonosnet channel 6

Smart home integrations

Have a Sonos speaker compatible with home-assistant (home automation)

Sonos would gain new customers by integrating Home Assistant voice compatibility into its speakers, and as with many open source projects, there are many qualified people in the community.A large portion of users would buy a Sonos speaker if it could include their voice assistant! Should Sonos consider this question?Especially since Sonos won its lawsuit against Google (patent infringement), and the next one will be Amazon, with Alexa. How will Sonos speakers continue to be compatible with "OK, Google" (which doesn't work for me!!!) and "Alexa" in the long run?Google has already withdrawn 17 features since the end of January 2024. Google and Amazon are refocusing on AI for home connectivity, either with new products that will be compatible with their AI, and new apps, which will undoubtedly be incompatible with Sonos speakers, as Google refuses to pay royalties to Sonos to integrate its patents into its own connected speakers.I'll let you guess what is likely to happen... And what will
