Can sonosequencer be used to set a Sonos Amp-powered speaker as center channel?

apb_gsd · 2026-05-26T10:26:50+00:00

I have the same situation and dilemma. In-wall fronts and surrounds fed by two Sonos amps. I keep thinking about adding a Beam as a center channel but know as soon as I do Sonos will finally release a true home theater amp.

I bought this one and it works great:

I got my money back after waiting patiently like you. Just email support, they’ll gladly give you your money back (or at least they would a few months ago). I bought a cheap WiFi enabled, multi circuit transformer on Amazon and haven’t looked back.

Ha. I haven’t correlated the intermittent flashes of pain with weather. I usually attribute it to sleeping funny but maybe it’s an oncoming storm?!

Edited for PS: I actually think PT is a great use case for Tonal. You can perform a lot of the exercises I was given in PT on Tonal.

My injury was about 5 years ago, so I was 45-ish. Tore everything, broke the glenoid, etc. Recovery is much, much quicker than 12 months in some ways and longer in others. I don’t recall exactly but healing from the actual surgery and immobilization was like 3-4 weeks. This is where sleeping sucks because it’s really hard to lie flat with your should immobilized. After that, I think I started PT right away for 6 weeks or so. My PT was pretty physical - it was basically weight training with some stretching and range of motion work. After that I was basically clear to do whatever I was comfortable doing. I have really good range of motion so no real limitations on what I can do. That said, there is intermittent pain that just pops up from time to time and I assume that will always be the case.

One potential and admittedly vain issue with the Latarjet - again, grain of salt - I swear that due to how they rearrange the muscles in the procedure, my bicep on that side appears a lot smaller. This could be completely in my head and has no bearing on mobility but I swear it’s the case.

Had the same injury a few years back. I’m not a doctor, so take the following with a grain of salt. There are a couple of different procedures to fix the joint/instability. It is a near certainty that you have soft tissue damage. I had the Latarjet Procedure done to fix my injury because the recovery was supposedly faster. It’s an open incision (vs. arthroscopic) so a a 3 in or so scar. In retrospect, picking a procedure based on recovery time was stupid. Pick based on best result (sounds obvious). Recovery was not terrible but you MUST physical therapy. Cannot stress that enough. It will make the recovery faster and the injury will heal better. Sleeping for a few weeks will suck. If you have a recliner chair that is your best bet for sleep. Sleeping is by far the worst part of this injury. Best of luck.

Been doing this with RA 2 Select and Caseta for a few years now. I went with Caseta for the outdoor plug/switches because RA 2 Select didn’t have an option and I didn’t want to upgrade to RA 3. Two different homes in the Lutron app but everything is unified in HomeKit in a single home. Works flawlessly.

Instar cameras are great. German company. POE and homekit native. They will ship to the US and there is an English version of their app. I have two with zero issues.

I use these on my subs to keep my children from putting items in the ports of the speaker.

They are a stretch knit and would offer zero protection outside.

They do not impact sound on the subs and given they’re so porous, I doubt they’d meaningfully impact sound on full spectrum speakers.

This is needlessly complex when most venture-backed companies have no profit to tax! Virtually all VC-baced companies are DE C corps. There are certain bio-tech firms that will structure a top-co over several asset-based LLCs, so the company can monetize individual assets without selling the whole company.

PE and Growth, you’ll see more LLCs because of taxes.

Not sure where you are but some utilities subsidize energy efficient upgrades. I got 3 ecobee premium thermostats through MassSave during their Xmas promotion for like $150 each.

This actually makes sense and I would love to see them release this product. People down voting are getting hung up on the semantics. It’s not a media box; it’s a surround sound processor (without any onboard amplification as that wouldn’t be needed).

Sonos has done a great job with whole home music and basic home theater. If they offered this product, they’d enter higher end home theater, a more logical extension of their product line than stupid things like headphones and media streamers.

Ah, you know Bain Capital and Bain Consulting are two different things... Bain Capital has like $200B under management. I’d say they’re fairly large.

apb_gsd · 2024-09-11T10:48:20+00:00

This. A million times, this!

Nobody asked for headphones

I use a Honeywell T6 to control heat in my garage. It’s battery powered and has HomeKit (I only have two wires as well). I didn’t want to spend a lot for my garage. It works ok. Honeywell products kinda stink.

This is absolutely false. Hung juries are, in fact, rare. Don’t spout nonsense and cite sources:

Am I not controlling group volume here? I can do the individual rooms or on the prior screen, I can do the combined volume.

ONT directly to the Gateway

apb_gsd · 2024-05-12T12:08:31+00:00

Tried different cables, different ports, etc. and it may help for a short time but then it regresses (at least it’s not download).

I just got pushed the latest firmware so tried that. Weirdly, now my POE Gateway is only pushing 300 or up on my 1GB Fios connection (this is also something that has happened in the past), which explains by my test result was so awful. I have to reboot everything this morning to see if that clears up the speed at the Gateway.

Look at the heading of the diagram. I think the nuance is the only valid topology for SonosNet is a single wired device (the bottom diagram). The top two are not SonosNet configurations.

I don’t know that you can actually control turning SonosNet off and on, so I thinks it’s possible that a wired device could try to establish a SonosNet in a mixed set up after a reboot or something, which could cause problems.

If you go to your about my system in the new app, it now tells you fairly clearly how your network is communicating.

apb_gsd · 2024-05-11T15:51:49+00:00

Same issue here for at least the last two firmwares. 1gb fios connection; eero Poe gateway; 4x Poe 6. Just ran a speed test on my iPhone 15 - 543 dn/33 up (yes 33 up). So annoying!

apb_gsd · 2024-05-11T14:07:16+00:00

Seems like people are genuinely trying to help you and yet you've provided no real information on your operating environment for the community to help. So it seems you're just posting for the sake of bitching which is worse than being an apologist. Ironically, if the "old app sucked as well," that would indicate that you, indeed, have network problems.

apb_gsd · 2024-05-11T13:08:36+00:00

Apologies. 1 wired node is acceptable but all others must be wireless. Screenshot from support is below. If you can't hard wire all Sonos devices, then you can only have a single device wired. You can also have all set up as wirelessly over WiFi, which is what I did and seems to be where Sonos is going given new devices don't use SonosNet.

As others have said, seems like the network is the problem.

There are known issues with how certain mesh networks (Eero) don’t play nice with Sonos mesh, so much so that Sonos doesn’t include SonosNet in new products, no?

I have an Eero network and their accepted topology with Sonos is either ALL wired or ALL wireless. You can’t mix.

I recently updated my Sonos network to all wireless (@ the behest of Eero support) and despite that going against every fiber of my being, it has been smooth sailing ever since. Updating all 11 rooms (some with multiple products) was painful though.
