What makes Somos InControl different
The official Sonos® app keeps adding screens, promotions, and loading states. Somos InControl does the opposite: one room at a time, the controls you actually reach for, and nothing else in the way.No account needed
No sign-up, no Somos login, no servers of ours. Your speakers talk directly to the app over your local Wi-Fi; music services are signed in to on their own pages, never through us. Your settings sync through your own iCloud, if you’re signed in.
Instant response
Every control applies immediately — no “Apply” button, no loading spinner. Changes made elsewhere show up within seconds.
Private by design
Zero analytics, zero ads, zero third-party code. Your network stays your business.
Get started in three steps
1
Download the beta
Join the TestFlight beta at testflight.apple.com/join/2D778AXH and install Somos InControl on your iPhone or iPad.
2
Walk through setup and allow Local Network
On first launch, tap Get started, check the short list of what Sonos® needs, and tap Allow when iOS asks for Local Network permission — it’s the only way the app can discover your Sonos® speakers. Then tap Find My Speakers. See Permissions for details.
3
Pick a room and start controlling
The app scans your network and opens your first room. Adjust volume, tune EQ, load a preset or open Music and play from one of your services — it all applies instantly. The short intro video you saw at first launch is the only tour; this manual covers the rest.
