Why Somos InControl?
The official Sonos® app has grown larger and slower over time. Somos InControl is the opposite: one page per room, the controls you actually reach for, and nothing else in the way. Because it works entirely over your local Wi-Fi — never through a cloud server — every control responds instantly and your activity stays on your network.First Launch
Download from TestFlight, tap Find My Speakers, and discover your rooms in under a minute.
Volume
A big, responsive slider with − / +, mute and group volume.
Sound Presets
Three TV and three music presets per room. Hold to save, tap to load, rename without re-saving.
Home Theater
TV / Music source, audio-format badge, Night Sound, Speech Boost, height, surround and Sub controls.
What the app does
Instant volume
A large, responsive slider is always the first thing you see, pinned as you scroll. Tap the speaker icon to mute.
Real EQ controls
Bass, treble, loudness and Trueplay in every room. Balance on stereo pairs; surround, height, subwoofer and crossover wherever the hardware exists — no hunting through nested menus.
Sound presets
Hold a preset to snapshot the room’s EQ levels — and, if you tick them, volume, Night Sound, Speech Boost and Loudness. Tap to restore everything at once; Siri knows each preset by name.
Home theater controls and setup
Soundbar rooms get the full set, and you can build the room too: bond surrounds, separate fronts and up to two Subs from inside the app, with a live audio-format badge to confirm what the bar receives.
Music
Play Sonos® favorites and playlists, see the queue, skip and shuffle, and set the music-only surround level and Ambient / Full mode.
Every room, grouped or not
Home theaters, stereo pairs, singles and portables all appear. Group rooms from any page, pin four rooms to the bottom bar, and save groups you use often.
Lock Screen, widget and Siri
A Live Activity with volume, mute, Night Sound, Speech Boost and music transport; a Home Screen widget with presets and volume; Siri phrases that work out of the box.
No account, no tracking
No sign-up. No analytics. No ads. The only network traffic is the local control messages your speakers need — and one image fetch from Sonos®‘s public photo library.
Which Sonos® hardware is supported?
Somos InControl works with Sonos® speakers that support local control on your network — S2 and S1 systems, and more than one system at a time. If a speaker appears in the official Sonos® app on the same Wi-Fi, it will appear here too. Every room gets volume, mute, bass, treble, loudness, presets, Trueplay, Status Light, Touch Controls and the Music sheet. What changes by room type:
If a specific speaker model isn’t being discovered, contact the developer through Support & Feedback in the app menu with the model name.
