The One SL is compatible with the S1 app so you do not have to replace the Bridge with a Boost.

The Play:3 is compatible with the S2 app.

Here is the full list of Sonos products and whether or not they are compatible with S1, S2, or both: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/4786?language=en_US

As far as I’m aware, if you factory reset that Sonos One SL, unless it was sold in the last couple of months, it should be able to be added to an S1 system. But you do have to factory reset it, if you just try to add it without the factory reset,  it will fail.

Thanks for this suggestion. I followed the factory reset procedure mutile times. Whatever the barrier, that’s not it.

And just to clarify, you don’t have an S2 Controller App on your mobile that you are using for the setup? - Can I also ask what operating system and version is installed on your mobile device?

No S2 controller on my mobile used for setup. S1 version 11.2.9 on my IOS phone with 14.4.2.

A One SL cannot be added to an S1 system since May 25 of this year regardless of manufacture date. It hasn’t yet been determined whether using the Transfer Ownership function can be used to move an SL from one S1 system to another, but doing a factory reset will definitely make it impossible as it will have to be newly registered at that point. I suspect that even Transfer Ownership won’t work though given Sonos’s reference to “existing S1 system[s]” not being affected by the change.

Beleza Tropical,

Well that really has surprised me. The only thing I can add …and would have tried myself is, I would have certainly wired it direct to the router, maybe turned off ‘Private Address’ on the iPhone network connection properties too, or perhaps used an earlier iOS device with iOS v12.5.3 installed,  as that worked for me to downgrade a speaker last time (albeit I downgraded a Play:1 speaker) …I had to remove the S2 App in my case, but I guess things may have altered in the recent updates.

I think if you have tried wiring the One SL etc; you should contact Sonos Support to see if they can assist you, particularly as you have bought the speaker in good faith and believed it would connect to your S1 HH and see if they can perhaps assist you to sort it.

Well, that’s bleak.

To my knowledge, that’s only if the Sonos One SL was created in the last couple of months, older Sonos Ones should still have the capability.

Would be nice if on Monday, we could get confirmation from a Sonos rep.

    They don’t unfortunately — see the letter from Sonos that I posted earlier in the thread; it says that “new or unregistered” One SLs can no longer be added to S1 systems. Only SLs that are currently registered to an S1 system are unaffected.

    My decision to purchase a One SL was informed by this Sonos speaker comparison chart posted on the Sonos community forum and allegedly vetted by Sonos.
