Users of Sonos will already be familiar with the Sonos ControllerA complete tool that puts these sound devices in direct communication with the smartphone or tablet of the user. Something that allows you to manage playback from anywhere at home. An issue that is now accompanied by numerous new features thanks to its latest update, enhancing this tool not only when it comes to controlling the song that is playing, but also allowing management total over all speakers in the house
This is the version 5.0 of the Sonos Controller App, a complete tool that has been renewed both in the visual scope, with a much cleaner and more comfortable style for the user, as in functionality And now It has several extra features, in addition to playback control, so that the user does not need to go near any speaker in the house to enjoy their music. All this taking into account that it is necessary to connect the devices and the terminal to the same Internet network A simple process that is also guided by the application itself as soon as you start it for the first time.
One of the new features included in this version of Sonos Controller is the ability to perform universal searches of musicThus, the user can search for any song or artist through the different music services that Sonos can manage from the application: Spotify, Pandora, Google Play Music, TuneIn Radio, and up to 30 more.

Along with this new global search is the function Alarm A feature with which the user can now program alarms as a alert or even alarm clock, being able to set not only the time, but also which Sonos speakers will play and with what music or music source. Of course, all this being able to choose how long the musical alarm will sound, choosing some rooms or other specific ones in the house and even the music level.
But Sonos Controller goes beyond music, and it is capable of acting almost as if a mixing console were being as long as you have the Sonos speakers. In this way, it is possible to combine the Sonos Play:1, Play: 3 and Play: 5 to create a full immersive experience. Simply choose the role of the different speakers (left or right) to synchronize the music accordingly and achieve professional and enveloping quality sound. Something that can also be shared from the application itself, letting friends and family know what music is being enjoyed
