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.
