Spaces & Setups

Hello, I’m running various Sonos zones throughout my home via Sonos Amps (9 of them) which power speakers in different rooms.  Since installation, I’ve always played music just fine via Airplay connection to the speakers throughout the home.  The issue I’m experiencing is that I’d like to add the Sonos Amps to Apple HomeKit so that I can run automations to play music at certain times, and also direct Siri to play from a Homepod or Phone to one of the Amps.  As I go through the process in Apple Home to add an accessory, all of the amps show as options to integrate, but the process continuously fails.  I’ve rebooted all amps.  I’ve rebooted my router and other smart home hubs. All amps show as an accessory ready to be integrated into Apple Home.Airplay error shows even though the Amps DO work via regular airplay playback from any device in the home.After clicking “Ok” on the Airplay failure, this message from HomeKit shows. 

Why is there no Android widget support? When will this be rectified? I assumed I'd done something wrong or that there was some obscure issue with the Fold 7. I'm astounded after coming here and reading multiple year old threads that widget support had disappeared, this is frankly unforgivable for a media streaming product.  

Please integrate Sonos with Samsung SmartThings locally. 

For security reasons I want to move all my Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including my Sonos speakers and Arc soundbar, off my main wifi network and onto a guest (vlan) network. Sonos documentation states that Sonos speakers must be on the same network as the device that runs the Sonos controller app. That’s a problem for me, since I want my iPad to be on my main wifi network, not on my IoT network. Is there any way to adjust my router settings so that the Sonos controller app on my iPad can see the Sonos speakers on the IoT network? All my other IoT devices work this way by default. So I’m hoping it is possible for my Sonos speakers too.

I have a sonos amp that currently powers, and its situated across the room from where my TV is. All of the inwall speaker wires are at the location of the amp, that’s why its there. I am wondering if I were to purchase a sonos sounbar system, would I be able to connect the amp to the soundbar wirelessly to power my surround sound speakers? Connecting the soundbar to the amp via a cable is out of the question. They are both on the same network, however its wifi. I could use ethernet but I’ve actually had better compatibility with having the amp on wifi due to having several other era 100 and era 300 speakers on the same network via wifi. I read that if one device is on wifi, they should all be on wifi.

I live in Iceland and I purchased ARC ultra and wanted to connect it to my Google home account, like any other devices I have are connected to. When I try to connect the Arc to Google home I am told that Sonos is not supported in my country, even when the product is being sold in Iceland.  When may I expect the service available in Iceland? The product is not cheep, I would like to be able to use it. 

Hello,I have started to plan my speaker setup for my living room. Instead of a TV I am gonna have a projector since there is the perfect wall for it. I don’t own any Sonos products yet so I don’t know their limitations and so on.Problem is that the projector is gonna be about 3 meters up in the ceiling 6 meters away from a wall. I don’t want to pull any cables from my projector and all the way to the soundbar (if I’m gonna have a soundbar) so I’ve been thinking about using a Sonos AMP instead with HDMI ARC.If it turns out that I would like to use a soundbar, can I use the Projector and connect it to the Sonos Amp and wirelessly play on the soundbar? Or could I create my own 5.1 system using Eras?Or… Is there a better way to do this. At one point I had an idea about using the Ray as a connection point for multiple Eras but that seems to be hard to make it work since it’s designed to be a master? or am I missing something. I hope someone can shed some light on this matter.Thank you,Bende

Afternoon all. Appealing to experienced hands as always as I’ve had no success to date with this onePreviously I purchased a 1st gen Hue Sync to add to a Panasonic GZ2000 running with a Sonos Arc, Pair of Sonos One’s and a Sonos Sub. The TV also had a Roku stick, A Nivida Sheild and an Apple TV box. But I could never get it to work and returned it. This was maybe three or four years back.Now I’m in the fortunate position of being able to set up a new room, again with a new flagship Panasonic, a Sonos ARC Ultra, a pair of Era 300’s and a new sub and would again like to try at adding add a Hue Sync. Most likely we will add the same Roku, Nividia, Freesat and Freeview boxes. Not sure how many HDMI’s are on the Panasonic …. I think 4 … its the Z95B.Possible to get any set up guidance from those having success here please? Or any limitations? Or is it even possible? I know there was a 2nd gen Sync launched a while ago but can’t see any real data on what sets that one apart.I also read that

I have a fairly unique use case and I’m having trouble finding the right solution. Application: A mobile (portable) campervan setup, audio will be transmitted mostly via Airplay 2/Bluetooth from a portable projector and the content will majority be streamed TV shows with compressed audio. Van is appromately 150sf in it’s entirety but speaker would be placed directly in front of viewers, mounted at ear level and at about a 4’ distance away. Viewing will all be indoors. Goal: A portable, easy to setup/take down, speaker(s) that can do a decent job presenting dialogue and a decent cinema experience when necessary.I realize there aren’t any single (or at worse 2) speakers that are going to reproduce anything close to a home theatre experience so I’m going for the best I can get.Speakers I’ve looked at;Sonos Beam Gen 2Sonos Move 2Sonos Era 300Sonos FiveSonos Era 100 (pair) I’ve only heard in person the Beam Gen 2 which is decent but it’s pretty long so it is a bit hard to store and needs a

Dear Sonos developers As many of your Sonos users are now elderly, but your app on IOS is far too complicated for those users. I am having to always fix my elderly parents speakers and if your suggestion is use voice control you don’t understand the older generation. Either create a widget or shortcut just to play their chosen radio station or make an option in your app for a simple screen hiding all those unnecessary functions away, like Uber app does. Think out of the box for the needs of the older generations, which is a growing user base and please make your app available for all, not just youngsters!!!

recently purchased an Arc and replaced my beam. Everything states the same by using physical Ethernet to connect all devices. However, after I set up the surround sound, I noticed those rear Sonos ones behind me getting cutting sound. Here is my diagnosis code: [redacted] Moderator Edit: Recorded and removed diagnostic number

Hi,I have a facility with 5 Sonos Ports. each in different floor. each Port connected to dedicated Amp and speakers.All Ports reside on the same network (VLAN)the need is to be able to make the 1st Port determine the music that would be played through the rest 4 Port devices.Is that possible to do through using the Port devices only?thanks 

Hi the problem I have is what is in the title, when I stream music directly to Sonos Arc I can control the volume using the TV remote, but only if the TV is off, if the TV is on but the source is still set to a streaming service or AirPlay the TV remote is not able to change the volume. I have an LG G1 and use the magic remote.

Hi there,anything new on the manual sorting topic of SONOS favorites within the SONOS app?It‘s almost one year ago, since the topic was taken into the team to discuss this feature request.  It’s a feature users requested now for years. kind regards,michael 

Probably elementary, but I’m from the vinyl age.  I’ve set up a pair of Roam2 for use with my home Sonos system.  If I take them when I travel and connect them with another device, will I then have to set them up again for my home system when I return.

I am thinking about buying Ace but as I understand it the home theatre must be on wifi?  I have my soundbar hardwired with ethernet, so does that mean Ace won’t work for listening to TV through Sonos Ace?

Just receive my arc. Ultra an 2 era300i don’t have reliable wifi can I use Bluetooth to run this system

I’ve got about 10 rooms of Sonos.  Have held off updating to S2 for a couple of years due to all the negative feedback on S2 and there being no compelling reason to upgrade.Spotify Lossless finally provides something that makes me want to do the upgrade.But I can’t seem to find anything that gives me the detail as to the current functionality differences between the 2 apps.  I see lots of historic stuff about not being able to search local libraries, edit the queue etc, as well as problems like lagging volume changes and speakers dropping out.Is there a good comparative list of functionality differences that anyone could point me too, and/or an up to date thread on usability?Thanks

I used my upgrade credit a while back for my play 5. Still have the device, am I able to give to someone else to use or can it only be put in the bin?  

One of my Sonos Five pair just spontaneously died after just a little over two years. Just outside the warranty. It will not turn on. This happened while in standby during the night.  Both Sonos and the local reseller act as though its expected and normal. And are not interested in fixing or replacing the 2 yo speaker.Im told the speaker cannot be fixed, only replaced. I have also found comments online saying this malfunction is not uncommon - but i cannot corroborate that.  Does anyone have any experience with Five going dead after two years?and was anybody able to find the magic words to say to Sonos to make them own up to this disgrace rather than sending you off to buy a new one with a shameful discount of 30% like a cheap brand?Also, does anybody know if there are  repair labs that can benefit from the almost brand new working parts (other than Sonos themselves)?

Want to make use of two of my old Sonos Play:1 to connect to a Fire Stick. What are my options? I cant really use HDMI as the Firestick is in my projector which is ceiling mounted. Could perhaps use a line in and run a long 3.5mm or use a bluetooth adapter. But going to need something to interface with the Play:1’s as they have no line in.

can arc ultra be mounted to TV using same mount as arc first generation

i have two  sonos 5;s connected to a mini sub in a small room but would like to expand the sound what can i add to this set up that is integrated and not  add  speakers from another domain or room under grouping

Hi. I want to install a Sonos system at my office. I need (1) speaker (it doesn’t matter the type) at front desk and (3) ceiling speakers in 3 different rooms. All (4) speakers will reproduce the same music from the same source, but I want to be able to control the volume individually in each room. What is your recommendation?
