I was wondering if it is ok to turn the power on and off the Sonos One? We have them hooked up outside on our Patio through our porch light with two power plugs and don't want to leave the light on all the time. (Older house with no ouyside plugs).

Sonos kit is designed to be left always on and like most electronics, powering on/off reduces service life by a small but unknown amount. So you may see some shortening of service life - on the other hand if you do not listen to it every day, balance that by saving in your light bills.

Other than this and the few minutes it takes for the One to boot up, it's ok.

Something like this so the bulb can be switched off, leaving the outlets live?
