Your Sonos alarms, in one list. Menu › Alarms shows every alarm on your system: the time, the room and the days. Add one, change one, or switch one on or off without opening the Sonos® app. Alarms live on your Sonos® speakers, not in Somos. They ring with Somos closed, and they show in the Sonos® app too.

​
See your alarms

Open the menu and tap Alarms. Each row shows the time, the room and the days it repeats. Pull down to read the list again. With no alarms, the page says No alarms yet and offers Add an alarm.
The Alarms row is not shown in Demo Mode, where no speaker can keep an alarm.

Left: Alarms lists each alarm with its room and days; the switch turns it on or off. Right: the alarm editor, with the days, what it plays (the Sonos chime or a favorite), its own volume and Alarm on. Alarms live on your Sonos, so they ring with Somos closed.

Add or edit an alarm

1

Tap the plus, or tap an alarm

The + at the top adds a new alarm. Tapping a row edits it.
2

Choose the room, time and days

Room is the room the alarm plays in. It plays in that room only, never in grouped rooms. Set the Time on the wheel and tick the Days it repeats.
3

Choose what plays

Plays is the chime, or one of your Sonos® Favorites. An alarm plays for 1 hour, or until you stop it.
4

Set the volume and save

Set the Volume, keep Alarm on switched on, and tap Save.
To remove an alarm, swipe it left and tap Delete.
An alarm marked Made in the Sonos app · on / off only can be switched on or off here, but not edited or deleted. Change it in the Sonos® app.

​
Switch an alarm on or off

Use the alarm’s own switch in the list, or Alarm on when you edit it. An alarm that is off stays in the list.

​
On your Apple Watch

Open Alarms on the Watch, then tap Add alarm. Choose the room, set the time, choose the days and tap Save. Somos checks that the speaker created it before closing the editor. You can also switch existing alarms on or off. To choose music or volume, or edit an alarm, use the iPhone. See Apple Watch.
