Current Limitations

  • App support is only available on iOS using the Insteon for Hub mobile app

  • Adding playlists is not currently supported on iOS 14+

  • A maximum of four Sonos Players can be added to the Insteon app.

  • Only one Sonos Player can be a member of a scene.

  • At this time, you are unable to edit Sonos Player functions from within a scene. If you wish to change a Sonos function after a scene has been created, delete the scene and re-create the scene with your desired changes.

  • To facilitate preset playback from an Insteon device, the Insteon app lets you learn source presets. Configuring these playlists is done from within the Insteon app when editing a Sonos Player settings.

    • You can learn up to ten Insteon app Sonos presets

    • These presets are shared among all configured Sonos Players
