I got a new SL1 and can’t get it to work it goes through the setup in S1 app then I get a message SL1 is not compatible with your system you can either launch s1 app to manage your system or setup a new system in s2 app but it does not work in either
A new Sonos One SL is S2 App compatible only. It will not work with the S1 App. As stated here…

To setup the One SL in the S2 App, power off your S1 speakers. Install the Sonos S2 App from here (assuming you are not already running a separate S2 Sonos System on the subnet)…

Ensure your mobile controller meets the system requirements for the S2 App shown here…

Check that the One SL speaker has a flashing green status LED from initial power on state and if not, reset the speaker using the instructions here…

Then in the S2 App create a brand new Sonos System and setup the One SL in the App.
Note: If you already have an S2 System in place, then perhaps start from factory state and open that S2 system and use the ‘Add Product’ option in ‘Settings/System’, but I would perhaps still power off your S1 products whilst doing that, just for good measure.
Hope the above helps you to resolve the matter.
