Roam Battery Saver

At the moment it takes 30mins for the Roam to completely switch off and I’ve measured that the battery drains about 4% while waiting for the battery saver to work. 
 

I would like the option to reduce this to 5mins or even make it immediate in the Sonos app. 
This should not be difficult to implement!

Thank you!

    • When working on the battery alone if I push the Off button, or if the unit Turns itself off for inactivity it should turn itself off completely. This way battery life is prioritised to the detriment of functionality.
    • When plugged in and charging then it makes more sense for the unit to go into standby mode for both manual button push and inactivity. This way functionality is prioritised with no detriment to battery life.

    Taking your two points above…

    1. If you hold the rear power button a while longer the Roam will power off completely instead of sleeping.
    2. On it’s charger, like all Sonos devices not playing audio, the Roam quickly returns to ‘low power’ mode before falling asleep and uses very little power in either mode and it’s power management controller will keep the battery in good condition and charged, ready to go - I personally like to discharge li-ion batteries and recharge them once every 6 months or so, but otherwise I keep the device on charge, when not being used as a portable speaker.
