Most households have a single Sonos® system, and Somos InControl simply shows its rooms. If you have more than one — an older S1 system alongside an S2 system, or Sonos® at a second address — the app keeps each as its own system and lets you switch between them from the menu.

​
The System section in the menu

Open the menu (top-left). Near the top, the System section shows:
  • One system — its name and generation (S1 or S2). Press and hold to rename it.
  • Several systems — one row each with the room count; the active one is ticked. Tap another to switch — the room list and bottom tabs change to that system. Press and hold a row to rename it.
Below that:
  • Add a Home / New S1 or S2 System — give the system a name (optional, e.g. “Lake House”), make sure your phone is on that system’s Wi-Fi, and tap Scan for System. Once found, it appears in the switcher.
  • Advanced → Rescan My Network — looks again for systems that didn’t show up, for example after a router reboot, or when an S1 system was hiding an S2 one.

​
Did we find everything?

If discovery finds two systems, or suspects one is missing, the app asks “Did we find everything?” after the tour. Answer No, something’s missing to run a rescan. If a whole system never appears, the Speakers Not Found questionnaire under Speaker Checks in the menu is the fastest way to give the developer what’s needed.
Every system is controlled over your local Wi-Fi. To control a second home you need to be on that home’s network — there is no remote access, by design.
