How to set a schedule (i.e. automatic start and stop times for the music)

To schedule Soundsuit music on Sonos, there's one simple thing to know:
You tell your Sonos system when and what to play to start Soundsuit music—and when to stop. The Soundsuit "Schedule" (as defined in your Soundsuit Dashboard) will then automatically alternate the playlists and stations according to your setup.

 

 

In the Sonos app for macOS or Windows

  1. Click Alarms from the bottom of the Select a Music Source pane on the right side of the Sonos app.
  2. To create a new alarm, click the “+” on macOS or the Add button on Windows. To edit an existing alarm, click the name of the alarm, then click Edit.
  3. Set your Time, Room, Music, Frequency and Volume settings.
  4. Click OK to save the alarm.

In the Sonos app for iOS or Android

  1. Go to the Settings menu.
  2. Select the Manage button next to My System.

 

 

  1. Select Alarms.

 

 

  1. To create a new alarm, select “ + Add Alarm. To edit an existing alarm, select the alarm from the list.

  2. Set your desired time, room, and music settings. You can also adjust the desired volume, when the alarm repeats, and how long the alarm will sound:

 

 

  • Pick the time you want to start playing Soundsuit every morning (i.e. 8:00)

  • Pick the Soundsuit music you want to play:
    Zone 1 >  Schedules  >  My Weekly

    Remark: You could also pick a Soundsuit playlist or a Soundsuit station to play. The beauty of selecting a Soundsuit schedule is that the playlists and stations you planed will automatically alternate during the defined time-slot. Without any action from your side. It is the prefect stretegy to plan your music in your business in advance, and decrease the music maintenance.

  • Repeat this alarm on the days of the week you need (e.g. from Monday to Sunday)

  • Set the volume of the Sonos speakers (make a test here if you are unsure of the volume you need/want to set up)
  • Set the duration: the number of hours that the Soundsuit music should play in your business location.

    If you set the (starting) time at 8:00 in the morning, and that you would like to stop the Soundsuit music at 22:00, then simply set the duration to 14 hours (i.e. 22-8 = 14).





The music will then stop automatically to play every day at 22:00. And starts again automatically every morning at 8:00.

Congrats! You’re done!
