UPDATES, UPDATES, UPDATES!!!

One factor in certain locations can be local meteo conditions ...

Auto-Updates have to be selected so if you live in an area where power cuts at night are common and you are able to reduce the chance of a power cut during an update by choosing, say, a time when the weather is good then you don't CHOOSE to enable auto-updates.

It's simply not a valid or credible nor even reasonable complaint

Yes, good advice, the next time Dr Frankenstein comes to town, I will try to remember to turn off the auto-update feature on my Sonos System..!!

Whats the best option then? Buy a UPS or buy a mobile thingy to switch off updates, given the option is not available on the desktop? This new 9.2 system hasn't really been thought through, in my humble opinion.

The new update makes NO difference whatsoever in how a new update is delivered. The ability or otherwise to change that setting in the desktop controller is entirely irrelevant.

If you NOW have some kind of issue with a possible power cut during an update then you've ALWAYS had that issue and this update has changed that in no way whatsoever.

Okay - point taken! :8

I can’t recall if the auto-update option was enabled by default, but I’m reasonably sure it was switched off and that I had to enable it and set a period for when to do the auto-updates.. so if you only have a windows controller, then I guess you won’t need to worry about it anyway.

I understand if an update fails it should try again ... but there is probably a very (very) narrow window when a power outage would affect the update in any case ...and that kind of thing can happen even during a manual update.

Thanks for the detail ! I still don't like the funereal black, though!

STOP IT ALREADY WITH THE UPDATES! I have 5 systems and 19 devices. Constant updates make me hate this system. If you feel like you keep needing to fix what you messed up in the last software build then at least do it automatically at like 3am or something. It's annoying!
God these updates are soooooooo annoying!!
Im really fed up with this system. Who believes this is a scam to maintain contact with you to sell more product. I would never have bought this product if i known they did weekly updates. Even apple doesnt update the phone system as much.
I will never recommend anyone to get Sonos

Weekly?

How exactly would such a scam work?
