I bought a home where previous owner had sonus system. He took everything but ceiling speakers that aren’t sonus. He said they connected to sonus but the app can’t see them. How do i connect?

He possibly had a Sonos amp wired to those speakers. Did he leave a Sonos Amp for you or are you able to follow the wires from where the speakers are located or able to access them?
+24If the device is powered up and connected to Ethernet, run my iOS app, it will find any device in any state and tell you all about it. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/phonos-plus/id1511326524
Non-Sonos speakers do not show in the app. You will need to connect them to a Sonos Amp in order to use them. Even after they are connected to a Sonos Amp and named as a room/zone only the Amp will show in the app. After they are connected you can use them independently or Group them with other Sonos in your home.
Note: Do not Group them with TV audio from a Sonos soundbar as there will be a 75ms delay. There is no delay Grouping to a Sonos soundbar when playing music.
Thank you, found out these speakers were actually hard wired to an amp, Not wireless after all.
FYI, Sonos doesn’t sell in-ceiling that are wireless in case you were wondering 🤔. There may be wireless in-ceiling speakers made by a 3rd party manufacturer but none to my knowledge that are compatible with Sonos. You could most likely use the in-ceiling speakers left behind by wiring them to a Sonos Amp.
