ROOMS AND PLAYBACK IN ONE PLACE See what is playing in each room. Adjust volume, pause, skip tracks or group rooms. The player brings your queue, lyrics and sleep timer together, with fewer trips between screens. SEARCH YOUR CONNECTED MUSIC SERVICES Find songs, artists, albums and playlists from one search entry point. Supports Apple Music, Spotify, QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music and Plex. Available services and content depend on your region, subscriptions and authorizations. SPEAK OR TYPE Try "Play five Fleetwood Mac songs in the living room" or "Turn the kitchen down." The assistant supports English, Cantonese and Mandarin, with text input too. Cloud voice and AI features require an internet connection and the relevant authorizations. BROADCASTS, SCENES AND TIMERS Send "Dinner's ready" to a selected room, save familiar playback settings as scenes, or schedule news briefings and sleep timers. Your own Sonos speakers handle announcements and playback. CHAT AND AI ASSISTANTS Link a supported chat channel, including WeChat or Telegram, to send control requests from a conversation. You can also connect an MCP-capable AI assistant and authorize it in ZoneFoundry Settings > AI access. Remote control requires a linked account and an available cloud connection. WIDGETS, SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Reach common controls through widgets, Live Activities, Control Centre and Shortcuts. Feature availability depends on your device and OS version.
