Except it's been in the news that they only support their products for 5 years after release. So as Apple and other streaming services update over the years, your Sonos will stop working.
I think an important correction here is that they say they will only commit to a minimum of 5 years of software updates after they stop selling a particular model.
Even then, there is no reason the speaker wouldn’t still work. To me, that sounds perfectly reasonable. There’s posts about a 15 year old play 5 speaker getting a firmware update within the last year even, so I think Sonos deserves credit where credit is due. They have a proven track record so far, but no doubt it’s something to keep an eye on going forward.
Sonos deserves credit where credit is due.
For five years. I'm not buying shit on a hope and a wish that they'll still support it in 7 years. I'm old enough to know better.
Ok - agree to disagree! Just wanted to share my experience with the community on a quality local voice control that’s available today while the home assistant community works on these exciting developments.
