Question

Sonos Move 2 says “not registered” in app

It has taken a while for me to start using my Move 2.

First it would not update (before first use). It kept saying there was a problem connecting to my Wifi. Even though the other 50 products in the house work properly. I had to go to someone else his house to use their Wifi which worked immediately. 
 

When I got back home the Move 2 needed to be added to my account. Which then also failed at my home. After creating a new account (and multiple tries) it finally added the Move 2 to my second account. 
 

Now the Move 2 is visible in the app and can be used, BUT it keeps saying “Not registered”. This way I can’t see the battery level or access the settings. 
 

It did work for a brief moment (after using a method from another user = logging out in the app, resetting the app and logging in again). But after a few minutes it said “Not registered” again and the previous method does not help anymore. 
 

I’m out of ideas because I have tried literally everything (reboots, resets, factory resets, app resets, router resets, phone resets, etc.)

 

Sadly this purchase has given me nothing but frustration and despair, which I was not used to from Sonos. 

Does anyone have the magic solution?

Did you find what you were looking for?

Are any of these other 50 products Sonos? It sounds, based on your post, that the Move 2 is registered to your second account, and showing up as ‘not registered’ when your controller is connected to your first account. At least, that’s a hypothesis, as I can’t connect a lot of the rest of your post in a logical manner.

Assuming you do have other Sonos device, were I you, I’d try a factory reset of the device. Then, I’d connect to them first, assuming it is S2, and use the ‘add a product’ function in the controller. But if you don’t have other Sonos devices, a factory reset will erase all data on the Move 2, from account data to playlists, to error codes that Sonos could use to help you. The Move 2 is a device that will only connect with S2, and not be seen by any S1 devices. 

Unfortunately, we don’t know if any of these other 50 devices are indeed Sonos, I’m inferring that from your statement about first and second accounts. We also don’t know anything about their connection to the LAN, or for that matter, the network itself, including specifics about your router. Or, as I’ve pointed out above, which Sonos OS you’re using, or what device and OS it uses. 

Essentially, in order to help you more effectively, we’ll need a lot more specifics. Or you could call Sonos Support directly to discuss it.

When you speak directly to the phone folks, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.

Dear Airgetlam, the other 50 products are general items from phones, tablets, to smart home stuff. 

The Sonos gear that I do have is a Beam soundbar and a Sub, both connected via UTP-cable, both S2. 
 

I have logged into the Sonos S2 app via both my accounts, it did not make a difference to the status of the Move 2. 
 

The funny thing is, it says “Not registered” with a “Resolve” button. When I click that it says “Move 2 has been added to your system and can now be used” with a chime from the Move 2. But it keeps saying “Not registered”.

Then I’d definitely call Sonos Support.
