Crystal clear hi-fi sound and nearly unlimited sound scenarios: the Sonos sound system enhances digital music with a varied landscape of wireless speakers and audio systems. This sound wonder only has one drawback: until now, it had to be controlled via a special app, especially during zone use; a handicap for all KNX users!
But now, the ise smart connect KNX Sonos connects this sound family to the world of KNX and makes it even easier to handle. With dynamic zone formation, up to five Sonos master devices can be connected via IP and each can be linked with up to five Slave units.

• control to play playlists
• title, artist, and album in running text on KNX text objects.
• total volume control of master, slave, and the complete group
• dynamic zone building for up to five zones with one master each and up to five slave devices via KNX objects
