Kind request to Sonos One SL users

13 replies

Hello,

I am just going to buy One SL but would like to ask one thing. When I connect the new One SL only using an Ethernet cable to my network, is it necessary to have Bluetooth switched on on my phone, to use Sonos app to control the speaker? In other words - can I only have Wi-Fi switched on on the phone, to connect to my network and control speaker by app this way?

Would you take such a test, please?

Thanks in advance!

I understand, thank you, I understand that in practice you used this option (Ethernet on speaker, Wi-Fi on application) without any problems?

As long as your router bridges between Ethernet and WiFi (the vast majority do).

After installation, there is no need to have Bluetooth switched on to control the One. It is WiFi only.

This is how it is.

I have both SonosNet (wireless) and Ethernet connected One SLs and they work perfectly.

No clue when end of production will be for the One and One SL but as the Era 100 is newer and similar I’d expect that eventually.

And Bluetooth switched off on your phone and still having full control of the speaker by the phone app?

Thanks for your suggestion about that alternative for SL! Unfortunately double expensive 🤔

Bluetooth on or off makes no difference as it isn’t used by the SL after setup. (see the first response above)

I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a One SL today, Sonos will be supporting it for many years after they end production. They still support Zone Players that haven’t been sold in close to 20 years.

I’d buy from Sonos if you can, other places may have them after the Sonos store sells out.

In fact, Era 100 is much larger, much more expensive and, strangely enough, it has no Ethernet at all.
Fortunately, I found SL at a local seller :-)

Ethernet for Era speakers is available via an accessory dongle.
