I read many topics about downgrading your speaker to S1 where they say:

 

“chose option to downgrade the wired device”

 

I don’t see this option in the app.  Can someone answer me: is downgrading still possible, or has it be intentionally blocked out?

Unfortunately with the new Sonos app, the ability to downgrade a Sonos product to S1 is temporarily unavailable, but will return in a future update.

Which update?  It would be helpful to know when to expect the release.  Similar to other feedback, I am trying to use Play 1 and Play 3 together but the Sonos 1 controller no longer identifies Play 3.  Really frustrating.

The August 6 app update added the S2 to S1 downgrade tool.

TLDR: same issues and tried everything, didn’t work still

Recently purchased the Sonos Play:3 from a friend and I’m having the same issue trying to downgrade it to S1. 
Things I’ve tried: I followed every step to downgrade it on the S2 app and it left me with “We were unable to downgrade your Play:3”. Then a done button or below it a “Contact Sonos Support”. Of course I pressed the last option. In that screen there is 

  • Unplug your product and plug it back in. Wait for it to restart and try again.

  • Restart your mobile device.

  • Restart your router.

I tried all of the suggestions and when pressing the costumer care link it just sent me to a white screen. 
I’m thinking it’s just a software issue that will hopefully be fixed with a future update but if anyone has any other suggestions, I’d be more than willing to try them.
