Hi, all,

I just bought a Sonos Move and the sound is amazing.

But when I leave it on the charger loop and short press the Power Button, the LED light will turn off and I think it goes to "standby or sleep mode", but after around 20 mins, it just wakes up automatically. I did not do anything in the 20, even not open the Sonos App.

Does anybody have the same issue? Or the product is intentionally designed like this?

Thank you for the reply, but even I took it out of the charging base, short press to turn it to sleep, it will wake up automatically in 20 mins as well, is that wrong?

Thank you very much @Simon B , I just called your support team today and sent them the diagnostic report, it seems that the issue is caused by Google Assistant, and it’s a known issue for Sonos.

Hi @Simon B 

This issue appears again when I downgraded the system to S1 (as I want to group my Move with Play 5 Gen 1), no matter I put it on or off the charging base, it will wake itself up after 30 mins since I set it into Sleep Mode.

Under S2, if I removed Google Assistant, the issue will not appear.

I short press the power button turn it into Sleep Mode, then just did nothing, 30 mins later, the Move wake up by itself, then I opened S1 App and sent you a diagnostic report, the confirmation number is: 474963769.

Can you check it or test it on your device? I’ve contacted your support team, but unfortunately there was no satisfactory response.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply @Simon B 

Unfortunately, I’ve contacted the phone support team three times today, but get no useful answer yet.

The support team’s answer is unconvincing, they told me that the product is designed like this, which I cannot agree, (1) since it works fine with S2, (2)and it make no sense that if I want set it to sleep, and you designed it to wake up automatically wake up around 30 minutes without any order? it seems absurd.

But this is the answer from them, which make me feel helpless, when I tried to argue with them, they just hung up the phone….

if it is possible you or your colleague test Move with S1 under the latest firmware?

I was advised that it shouldn't behave this way, so this issue needs to be coordinated with a higher specialist for further checking.
