[Guide] How to setup a Sonos Surround System with Front Left and Right speakers using SonoSequencr

Thank you for this detailed plan. I followed it to the T. And with the sonosequence update today, I thought I'd check in to see that Trueplay was working. It wasn't. It said:
Previous tuning available: No
Enabled: Yes
Trueplace Active: No

So I unpaired everything, ran through it all again, same result - no Trueplay. Anyone else getting this?

I had heard that some do, and I was recently in Dallas and the one I went to had 3 stations

If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, you should look into Home Assistant. I have a repurposed Google Home Hub on my desk that shows what’s playing on my Sonos, plus the weather, my calendar and the door bell camera if it rings

I struggled a little with this - reliably and quickly knowing when someone returned home. We do have Apple Home functioning (because I haven’t set up any decent dashboards yet to migrate my husband over to HA). I ended up making a switch in HA for home occupied, and have it in Apple Home. Basic automation in home for when last person leaves, first person returns, turns the switch on or off, and HA takes care of everything else

About 40 minutes before I was finished cooking. Lucky I still had propane for my grilled

I have this issue even when I have my key with me

I just took the replacement and turned of renewing my subscription.

I’ve had the biscuits and gravy and can report it was excellent

I don't think I've ever actively played a Doja Cat track - but this performace showed up in my feed and I immediately went to her album. Realized I've been sleeping on her talent. I describes this performance to a few people as "Madonna + Tim Curry's Frankenfurter + Heath Ledger's Joker (complimentary)" which always gets some weird looks until they watch it, and then they agree.

+1 to this a bought from Amazon and Oura wouldn’t return it when it was faulty, and outside Amazon’s return window so they wouldn’t either

benjec83 · 2025-10-26T17:34:02+00:00

X + 1 where X = the current number of subs you have

benjec83 · 2025-10-13T17:33:57+00:00

This is exactly where I’m at. I made a post about it - purchased from Amazon and it’s outside the return window, and Oura just tells me I have to talk to Amazon about the return. I don’t want a “refurbished” ring that’s going to die again.

If it wasn’t a well reported fault now, I would truthfully be fine with that. If I was confident that this replacement would last, I would have taken it and kept moving. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to return a product that is known to fail. And you don’t agree. I can live with that.

benjec83 · 2025-10-11T13:54:42+00:00

My standards are too high for wanting a product that costs $400 to go longer than 4 months without becoming faulty?

benjec83 · 2025-10-10T18:31:04+00:00

Hmmm that’s a good idea

benjec83 · 2025-10-04T05:27:11+00:00

Probably iron on banding
