Lutron also makes “Audio Pico” remotes for Sonos, which fit in standard decora wall plates, commonly found stateside, as well as their pedestal accessories.
Like the IKEA smart home products, it does require a bridge (or bridge pro) from Lutron’s Caseta product line.
We have two. One in the kitchen controlling Sonos One (on a metal shelf) and one in the livingroom controlling the Sonos Beam when listening to Music.
Excellent hack to support my ecosystem! Thanks for another great tip and informative video!
Just ordered it 🤗thanks for the tip 👍
Excellent hack! Thanks!!
Great review. Bought one immediately. 👍
Ooh good find 👍😊 I’ll be getting one or two
You can set up a Tradfri shortcut button for 10 bucks to start a playlist. In fact even 3 playlists. The button can be configured to click, double-click and long press.
Excellent review. Do you know if it works with Spotify connect?
What was the name of the Sonos Radio station you said you listen to during this vlog? Thanks, I couldn’t find it
grand, for a about a month, then goes into a coma, latency (when it does work) is bad. Been meaning to wipe the data from the gateway and re pair it but its so finicky that i think its a connectivity issue just like the OG Smyf bookshelf speaker.
I have a Denon 716 soundbar but I would like a sonos arc. Would you keep the Denon or sell it and get the Arc?
Wanted to listen to chill beats that you mentioned. Where/how to find on Sonos radio?
So, I have a beam G2 connected with 2 Sonos One G2. And I have 2 Sonos ikea bookshelf speakers. So I might need 2 remotes right? But do I need a gateway? Thank you.
I have 2 Play 5 speakers set up in a zone. One connected to a turntable, and the other connected to my google nest hub via a chromecast audio. I have autoplay turned on but I always have to go into the Sonos app to change the input from the chromecast audio to the turntable. Is there an option on this product to have it switch from one input to another?
Thanks
It's likely you will be able to control this through a Smartthings hub without needing the Ikea hub as well.
It already does work!
I have 2 x Sonos one (gen 1), and when I try to add the speakers in the Ikea home smart app, it doesn't find them. Everything is on the same network. I wonder if the gen 1 speakers, aren't actually supported. But that would be weird. An ideas ?
can you use it to control CZcams volume, pause, play?
I bought a couple of these last month but I think I'll be returning them because the volume control changes volume on all Sonos speakers at once. It really should change the volume only of the speaker it has been assigned to.
That’s strange as ikea state that function doesn’t exist. You pair the remote to one speaker then if that one speaker is grouped with other Sonos speaker it will turn up the whole group. But only when grouped. Hope you get it sorted 👍
@@smarthomesounds Well that's right, but I never want to control the volume of grouped speakers together. It's the one function that I'd prefer to be independent for each speaker.
My Ikea Home app is seeing my Symfonisk speakers but not my Sonos speakers so I can't connect the button to them. Any ideas ?
I’ve been using these IKEA gadgets to control my Sonos speakers for sometime now. One of the things I noticed is that when I play music via iTunes on my computer, I cannot control the volume with the gadget. I can only seem to control the volume when the music is played via the Sonos app. It would be nice if I can control the volume regardless of where the music source comes from.
That’s interesting and one we will have to test. Thanks for sharing 👍
@@smarthomesounds I would love to hear your findings and also any tips/workarounds you develop around this “use case”.
I have an ikea symfonisk lamp. Does this device can make my lamp have voice control?
Can i use this for my HT setup?
How long do the batteries last. Wouldn’t that be annoying.
Lutron Pico Audio Remote will be cheaper option for someone who already have a Lutron Bridge installed.
Can use a Sonos Connect v2 to control it?
Does this work with a Sonos amp and speakers in the ceiling which is where this really adds value.
Hi Graeme, yes this will work with the Sonos Amp as well which is actually a great observation and one people will genuinely find more useful in this set up. Often, the Amps are stored in a cupboard so most people would control by the App but this is quicker.
Keep your eye on a Flic twist, new product coming from flic, similar functions but looks a million times more premium
And a million times more expensive as well 😉
These are only good if you have more than one rooms and have symfonik stuff already i feel. If not i would just use infrared remote or an apple remote
Ikea released a new remote!
Oh hey, something to put under the coffee table
Can this work with the beam 2
Hi Mark, yes this works with the Beam G2. Hope this helps.
The app on my phone is free!
The ”å” is pronounced like ”awe” in ”awesome”
Where was the hack? Isn't that meant to be its function?
Probably because it’s an ikea product I assume
This remote drives me crazy, apparently it works only between new moon and waning crescent.
Cheap, but a complete waste of money anyway.
When the weather clears up I'm gonna take it outside and smash it up with a hammer.
Aren't there volume controls on top of every Sonos speaker?
Yes, but this is a more easy and portable and wireless way to control them
You are right, but this remote is for convenience. I have the speakers wall mounted, which is a bit harder to reach. This is for more like sit on the couch and click the nearest puck for music.
This is a bit "first world problems", but look at it this way: we do not reach for our TV everytime we want to turn it on, do we? We use a remote.
Why has Smart Home Sound gone over to make Click Bait titles?
They work really bad.
Useless
Thanks for the comment, these videos are to see if you like or dislike products so if we’ve helped out that’s great.
To you … but perhaps not others?
@@bnhsuperfan No, its in general. It solves nothing.
