SonoStats is a real-time visualiser for your Sonos household. See every speaker, every group, every connection on one clean canvas — the topology map you always wished the Sonos app would show you. WHAT YOU SEE Your household laid out live. Router at the top, wired root, home theater clusters, stereo pairs, and every Wi-Fi speaker in its rightful place. Tap any speaker for details. Audio in motion. Watch throughput flow between speakers as music plays. See which speaker is the coordinator, which are followers, and where the traffic actually goes. A mesh view for the deeper divers. Every peer-to-peer SonosNet link, with edge width showing signal strength. Spot marginal connections before they turn into dropouts. Streaming Discovery. Watch speakers appear one by one as your network resolves them, identified with their zone and product model the moment they respond. Bond halos. Home theater clusters and stereo pairs are visually grouped so you can tell at a glance which speakers belong together. Signal indicators, colour-coded from healthy green through borderline yellow to weak red. Multi-household support. Save every network you visit — home, cottage, office — and SonoStats picks the right one automatically based on Wi-Fi.
