Feature Request: Reminder not to forget Sonos Move outside

Feature:Would be great to have a reminder function in the app for user to bing the Sonos Move back in the house, e.g. an alarm that goes off if the Sonos Move is not back on the charger at a set time like 1amRationale:I do have the Sonos Move for round about 3 months. However, I already forgot the Sonos Move 3- 4 times outside on the terrace of my house. Once of course in pouring rain all night long - all good. A Friend mentioned the same is happening to him.Forgetting the Sonos Move outside Seems to happen when enjoying this great piece of equipment.

Sonos App volume control 2

Keith sent me a response to my first question that stated reload the app or get in touch with supplier or something. Then the question was closed and not possible to provide further comments, hence why I have added another thread. I had previously deleted and reloaded the Sonos IOS app and the problem persists. I play music from different sources through the Sonos Move and I cannot change the volume. I’m new to Sonos and had also ordered a Roam, but I just cancelled that order, pending me actually finding out what the problem is with changing volume using the IOS app. I’m also in the market for purchasing a soundbar and would like to go with Sonos, but again, I certainly wont commit until I know what the issue is. Can anyone else other that Keith offer any other advice or help? Much appreciate any help on this.

SL One will not join

I have a house with an excellent wifi system, 8 AMP units hooked to ceiling speakers, and everything plays fine and is reliable.I am trying to add 2 SL-One speakers.They won’t join, I go through the procedures but they never show up in the list of rooms after I am done.I take them to the wifi rack, hard wire them in and they join and work.  Unplug them from the Ethernet wire, and they still play in the system.  Unplug them from power, take them upstairs, and plug them back in and they are gone.

Suggestion for stereo pairs and bars

Among all the units I have, I have two PlayBars. They're good, but I find there isn't much stereo image. I think this is purely because the L and R speaker sets are close together.My suggestion is that for this product and any stereo pair you have an option to enhance the stereo.This can easily be done in DSP by matrixing to L+R and L-R, increasing the gain of the L-R, then matrixing back to L and R.Maybe an option in the app - ideally with an ‘amount’ setting which would control the amount of extra gain applied in DSP to the L-R.There are cleverer ways of enhancing stereo, like only amplifying the L-R when there’s a peak, but I think for most situations, the simple approach would work well.Then we could 'widen' the stereo image.

Sonos PORT won't work with DALI Rubicon 2C wirless speakers

I have DALI Rubicon 2C wireless speakers. I bought a PORT so I could add them to my existing Sonos system. The connection to the speakers is intermittent - typically it drops after a couple of minutes.Are these speakers incompatable (they work fine with everything else!) Thanks

Sonos Beam not discoverable on AirPlay

Hi,  I’m currently experiencing a problem whereby my Sonos beam is not discoverable on airplay (bear in mind that at some point it was) is very frustrating at the least that you pay so much money to get a subpar experience. Definitely would not recommend.

Hi. Sonos rocks. But I keep loosing wifi to my speaker while in my home bar. It’s not that far from the router but I can’t bring either any closer to each other. I’m fitting a mesh system to my house. Will the TP link deco M9 work ok with it.

Finding speaker controls

I applied a small clear plastic glue button to the audio + switch on top of the speaker. Now, even in the dark I can utilize one of the three options (lower, up or off).

which speaker to choose

4 years ago I installed a playbase, woofer and 2 alexa-enabled Sonos Ones (1st gen) in my family room. Since in this configuration only one of the two sonos ones will respond to alexa, I think I will relocate one to my study and replace it in the family room with a speaker that is not voice-enabled. I have two questions: 1. what is the best choice of speaker to purchase to substitute the existing sonos one, and 2. Can I configure a single speaker in the study to play mono, or can it only be configured to play either left or right?TIA .... Greg

Wiring Echo to Sonos - will it play on a group?

Hi, I recently bought my first Sonos speaker (Sonos 5) and I’ve plugged it into my Echo Dot (via a double-ended 3.5 cable) so I can hear Alexa and use her to play Spotify Premium.  It seems to work well.  I'm now thinking of adding a sub and a couple of Sonos 1's, but before I do wanted to check whether these additional speakers will also 'connect' to Alexa and play nice.  Obviously, only the 5 will be wired to the Echo, but will it send the audio it receives from the Echo to the additional speakers?If the answer is no, then perhps one of the Sonos 1's I get should be the model with Alexa built-in, in order to get Alexa to play Spotify to the group?  In fact, I suspect this setup would likely be better than wiring to an Echo?Justin checking before I add more speakers and find out it won’t work with Spotify/Alexa to void disappointment.Many thanks!

Anyone experiencing issues with wireless speakers and/or subwoofers with 6.2?

Originally with my Pro 6’s I had some WiFi issues, which ended up being caused by my wireless subwoofer (Sony HT-ST5000). I fixed it by locking my subwoofer to a single 5.2 ghz channel and turning on “secure link”. My theory at the time was that eero would learn that that particular channel was too noisy and not bother with it.Since the 6.2 update the same WiFi issues seem to have resurfaced, sometimes my connection is fine and other times I have incredibly slow speeds (sub 1mbps on a fiber connection 10 feet from the eero). My subwoofer is having intermittent connection issues too. Granted this could all be a coincidence, but it started happening the day 6.2 was installed on my network.Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Connecting powered loudspeakers

I would like to integrate a pair of Yamaha DSR 115 powered loudspeakers and powered Subs into my Sonos system for my garage.  I called Sonos customer support and they said the Sonos Connect AMP is what I need, but I’m pretty confident the representative is mistaking. I believe it is the Sonos Connect or Sonos Port that provides non amplified output signals. But would like to make sure it would work before I purchase either. I do understand I will need a RCA to XLR adaptor cable. Is there any advantage using the Port over the Connect?Thanks!

will new turntable & Era 100 play in sync with Sonos One

Hello I have 2 Sonos ones & 1 Sonos SL.  I want to get a turntable with phono preamp built in and a Sonos Era 100 to play it out of.  Will the turntable play out of all my existing Sonos one/SL once it’s connected to the Era? And play records throughout the house. Or just through the Era and nothing else? Thanks very much Joe

Sub and Flour - a short story

Hi everybody!I wanted to share something about my Sub. Yesterday my wife, while in the kitchen, decided to kill a insect on a vaulted ceiling using a two pound flour bag. Little that she knew, the bag bursted (just a tiny split, not all the way) and some of the flour got on the top of my Sub Gen2 and around it. I did not see anything in the Sub. After I experienced a tiny stroke :-), I grabbed the vacuum cleaner and cleaned the mess. Then I’ve put Master and Commander, Sub setting plus 10 and told my kids to go into their room. We did laugh about it how a split second moment of anger or simply not thinking things through could give you some not needed work. Now for the serious part.Do you think anything could have happen? How is the Sub constructed, Where is the opening (besides the obvious rectangular one)? Do you think that flour can compare to dust in consistency and the ability to enter the SUB? Is it wise to turn the Sub upside down and try to shake it or vacuum some more? P.S. My

Question regarding Sonos Roam.

Can Sonos Roam connect/disconnect to an already paired Bluetooth phone by google assistant voice command rather than manually connecting from phone's Bluetooth settings? I have a JBL Link which is a similar speaker and I just have to say - "Ok Google, connect phone" and it automatically connects to my phone. Does Roam have a similar feature?
