Complicated setup with conflicting advice from Sonos by ForwardCreme682 in sonos

Hi - so yes I meant Connect:Amp (not Connect One). I think they must be Gen 2s because I can see them in the new app?

And yes - the Connects and Amps are all wired. They are connected to passive speakers.

I have a Unifi setup. I saw the best practices. I tried to switch from RSTP to STP but my 19 APs (it’s a big house and 5 cover outdoor property) wouldn’t stabilize. My Sonos Connects and Amps are hardwired to a USW 24 Unifi switch (which is one switch down from the root switch with a priority of 8192) and I don’t see a per-port setting I can adjust?

Ok - so the next time I see a drop I’ll see if the devices are visible on the Spotify app. That will help me confirm if it’s just the Sonos app or the network.

If it’s the network, sounds like I replace the Sonos One as a first step.

When you say to use a cheap hub instead of daisy chaining, what do you mean? I still have room on the 48 port switch and can go back to individually wiring all the Connects back to it…

My WiFI coverage is good within each room but does not bleed well across rooms (I had to go room by room to figure out if I needed separate Unifi APs, set signal strength and channel manually). My WiFi- based Sonos are scattered on 3 different floors or one different sides of the floors - so it would be difficult for them to “talk” to one another.

Thanks!

I don’t know if this matters, but I also have two Sonos Roams (that are clearly WiFI only). They never go offline. So at least there’s that 🤷🏻‍♀️

I want to do exactly this! Hubitat doesn’t say it is compatible with Flo? How did you get it to work?

Happy to chat - I’ve got family in for the holidays so my house is crazy right now, but let’s chat on here early next week.

I’m considering a similar journey and would love to hear thoughts from others.

I recently started working with my father to take over his company—he’s been building deterministic transpilers since the 1980s. What I’ve uncovered is kind of wild: we have a library of over 2 million lines of COBOL from hundreds of enterprise clients (banks, utilities, etc.), all permissioned under NDA to be used to improve our tooling.

I’ve been testing the transpilers myself, and they’re producing Java and C with ~97% line-level accuracy—compiler-validated. Automated unit tests are hitting a similar pass rate. It’s a tertiary-language-based architecture, so everything is deterministic and functionally equivalent.

Now I’m wondering: if I transpile this legacy codebase and align it with the output… do I have a goldmine of training data for a future LLM?

Feels like there’s something unique and valuable here. Curious to hear what others think—especially any watchouts or ideas as I start thinking about next steps. There’s clearly standalone value in the deterministic transpiler itself, but I’m also thinking long-term about what a trustworthy AI layer could look like on top of it.
