New Product showing on FCC - S15

heres my hope - a simple base unit and remote control handset....

- base unit plugs into any sonos device providing both power via POE and communication OR wireless and powered with the lowly 100ma power supply.
- handset is charged from base unit (maybe wireless charging also)
- handset has NO screen and communicates via RF so has very long battery life.
- handset has backlit buttons for volume up, down, previous, next, play/pause, 5 presets to sonos favorites, 5 'room' buttons to switch rooms (perhaps with led to indicate which room is being controlled)
- buttons for night/speech mode for playbar
- a few 'custom' buttons for grouping or other functions (all controlled by the base unit so no firmware update needed for old units)
- a 'Snooze' button for alarms
- provide a simple wall cradle similar like philips hue switch.
- 'bonus feature' of line-in on the base unit ;-)

would be far more convenient than reaching for a phone which must always be charged and sometimes slow to respond or lock screen controls arent active (nothing is playing) plus 101 other reasons why a phone is sometimes annoying.

Id buy one for every room if the price was right (e.g. sub $100).
I know logitech can do some of this but you have to be pretty 'tech savvy' to get it working right.

@nicka99...sounds like a lot like a Lutron pico remote. Doesn't meet your price though since the remote will require a Lutron hub. And it doesn't meet your custom button requirements

Alternately, wait for the Alexa integration, then get a dot and echo remote. That would be under $100, but again, not meeting your custom requirements.

100mA sounds like a battery charger... for a very small battery.

My HDMI multiswitch doesn't require much more...🆒

I'm curious if we'll see an announcement today given that the confidentiality of the photos is due to expire Sunday.

Just looked at my Sonos Dock. 5V @ 2A, or 10 watts. However, that had to charge an iDevice. 100mA should be enough to power a wifi transceiver and a microphone array, perhaps with Chromecast capabilities.

Those labels are usually samples, and are only representative of the location of the FCC label and/or the wording required by the FCC to meet their requirements. Everything else about them can likely be taken with a grain of salt. Until Sunday (or more likely, Monday) comes around, we won't know what it is.

My guess. It's the replacement for the Connect. It will be priced at $99. It will have a combined 3.5mm optical/analog output, like the CCA. It will also have a far-field microphone. Maybe an analog input, but not necessarily, given Sonos emphasis on streaming.

Possibly Chromecast support, to instantly integrate Google Home.

No idea what the S stands for. Source? Streamer? Spot? (Play on Dot).

I notice from the label that it draws 5W directly from the wall socket, so no external power brick. Good.

I'm probably completely wrong, but we'll see tomorrow.

When the Play 5 (gen 2) was added to the FCC database its name was S100, Sonos got wise at this point and started hiding the names of devices.

It is probably the long awaited Play 7. It will be a 7 foot floor standing electrostatic speaker to fill in the high end of the product line. Electrostatics are a good match for Sonos because they struggle at the low end which makes them the perfect complement to the Sonos Sub. Unfortunately no line-in or headphone jacks but will have a port to plug in a separate microphone array for use in voice control as an alternative to using an Echo Dot.

How about the Sonos Speak?:8
