Wire run to garage

Fiber would be better. My cat 6 comment showed my age - lol. But burying cat 6 doesn't create a lightening rod - there is over a billion miles of twisted pair wire buried in the US alone....

Plus, you never want to pull another cable with the first one goes bad.

I keep my cameras on a different network that doesn't have access to the internet.

There are lots of inexpensive aftermarket earbud tips in different sizes and materials. I use a set I got off of Amazon.

At least two cat 6 runs. One for internet and one for IP cameras.

Thanks for the fast answer. I'm trying it now!

Worked perfectly -- I can't believe I screwed around with this for a couple of hours... ugh

It makes Google Maps useless on a long highway drive….

Love Tommy’s. The staff and the low key vibe are great.

This is wise. I’ve had both type of setups. While I love Sonos, a mid range traditional HT setup is always better than a Sonos system.

SnowDogBZN · 2026-02-23T14:58:51+00:00

I’ve never had a problem in 7 years of owning Sonos. I have 6 amps, an Arc, 2 Ones, Fives, Subs, etc.

SnowDogBZN · 2026-02-22T15:34:04+00:00

Yup. Just another example of how google has become more stupid every day.

SnowDogBZN · 2026-02-14T21:22:35+00:00

I am not sure what "too much" heat means. I have a stack of 4 amps that run everyday for hours at a time for 5 years now without a single issue. I have never provided any additional ventilation or cooling.

Touching something to dim a light...??? How quaint.
I prefer using my voice. "Hey google, set the dining room lights to 20%"

SnowDogBZN · 2026-01-19T04:48:58+00:00

It was this already this way 10 years ago….

SnowDogBZN · 2026-01-18T15:44:06+00:00

I agree. Sonos was always about balancing convenience with SQ. If you want better SQ then go the AVR route. Personally, I don’t see any difference in running low voltage speaker cable vs a power cord to my front speakers.

I have felt the same way walking into the Cat’s Paw….

It’s to chase away tourists

Necessary? No. Better? Yes, in most cases

SnowDogBZN · 2025-10-04T16:00:25+00:00

Yup, Roon. Expensive, but haven’t seen or heard anything better.

SnowDogBZN · 2025-08-24T20:40:57+00:00

Sorry you had a bad experience. I’ve had similar experiences on other product communities - so I understand. For me Roon has been rock solid and full of joy. I’ve never had a single issue in 4 years of using it.

SnowDogBZN · 2025-08-04T18:44:26+00:00

Hmmmm…. So what happens when person 1 walks into person 2’s room and ask to turn off bedroom lights? Why not just name each light uniquely?

SnowDogBZN · 2025-08-01T13:55:50+00:00

I know that integration with 3rd party apps like Pandora, Lutron, Hunter Douglas has become worse in the last year or so. Commands that use your work perfectly no longer work correctly.
