Sonos split its speakers into S1 and S2 in 2020 and split them again in August 2025, and the current app leaves S1 speakers out. Sonora is a self-hosted web controller that talks to the speakers directly on your network, with Sonos sign-in optional, and runs both systems from one screen.
It adds scenes across S1 and S2, lyrics, themes, a network check and an S2 upgrade advisor. It runs in Docker, as a Home Assistant app, on Unraid or with Python and Node. Brett built it because he wanted it himself.

- The README says: "A human designed Sonora and Claude Code built it."
- caveats
- S1 and S2 rooms show in one interface but still can't be grouped together. Remote access needs your own VPN. Not affiliated with Sonos. About a month old.

- Public AGPL-3.0 repo, very active.
