How to Schedule Different Volume Levels with Sonos

Using the Sonos "Alarm" function together with Soundsuit will help you realize the exact setup you want. In Soundsuit, you can design a weekly schedule, and the Sonos app will simply call this schedule and change the volume accordingly. The music changes (mood, genres, etc.) will be orchestrated by the Soundsuit schedule, saving you tons of time.

Steps to Set Up Sonos Alarms with Different Volume Levels

1. Open the Sonos App:

   • Navigate to the Sonos app on your device and open it.
     
     

2. Access the Alarm Settings:

   • Go to the "Settings" menu.
   • Select "Alarms" from the list.
     
     

3. Add a New Alarm:

   • Click on "Add Alarm" to create a new alarm.
     
     

4. Configure Alarm Details:

   • Alarm: Turn the alarm "On".
   • Time: Set the desired time for the alarm. For example, 07:00.
   • Room: Select the room where you want the alarm to play.
   • Music: Choose the Soundsuit schedule you want to play. You may have a specific schedule set up in Soundsuit, such as "Relaxed Beats".
   • Schedule: Select the days you want the alarm to be active. For instance, Monday to Sunday.
   • Volume: Set the volume level. Adjust the slider to your preferred volume percentage.
     
     

5. Repeat for Each Time Slot:

   • Create multiple alarms for different times of the day, adjusting the volume accordingly. For example:
     • 07:00 - Volume 20% - Play Soundsuit Schedule XX
     • 09:00 - Volume 40% - Play Soundsuit Schedule XX
     • 12:00 - Volume 50% - Play Soundsuit Schedule XX
     • 15:00 - Volume 40% - Play Soundsuit Schedule XX
     • 18:00 - Volume 70% - Play Soundsuit Schedule XX
       
       

6. Save Your Alarms:

   • After setting up each alarm, click "OK" to save.

Example Setup

• 07:00 - Volume 20% - Play Soundsuit Schedule XX
• 09:00 - Volume 40% - Play Soundsuit Schedule XX
