Kind request to Sonos One SL users

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).

Hmm...looks like Apple Company style of business ;-) Get from client as much money as you can :-/ 

It would cost everyone more, if Sonos had chose to include it in the original Era package, so only those that want one, need pay for it. So they’re not exactly getting as much money as they can from their customers in this instance.

    EIther that, or Sonos knows exactly what percentage of Sonos devices are connected via Ethernet and decided that small percentage wasn’t worth the extra cost to keep including it in the design.  However, they do offer it as an accessory to those who require it.

      Well, going this way, we should prepare to have separate dongle for WiFi, BT, USB…
      In my opinion, making Ethernet embedded on the main board costs cents. Producing separate units, and mainboards with another interface to connect those units - costs much more, and you know who pays. completely marketing decision IMHO, not client-oriented, not eco, not esthetic. 

      Anyway, don’t want to continue this thread in this way :-)
