Products missing from the Sonos S1 Controller app
This article will help you bring back a Sonos product that has disappeared from your Sonos S1 Controller app. The steps below apply to a Sonos system that's still working, but is missing one or more products in the Rooms list.
If you can't use your Sonos system at all and your app is showing an "Unable to connect to Sonos" error message, see our article Unable to connect to Sonos.
Quick fixes for a missing Sonos product
Use “Find Missing Products” in the Settings tab
The Sonos S1 app for iOS and Android can help you reconnect a missing product. From the Settings tab, go to Support > Find Missing Products and follow the on-screen steps.
Check the power on the missing product
Your Sonos product may have disappeared from your Rooms list if it has lost power. Make sure the product's power cord is plugged in firmly and connected to a working power outlet.
You can check if a Sonos product is powered on and responding by pressing the Play/Pause button and seeing if the status light reacts.
Reboot the missing product
Remove the power cable from the Sonos product, wait five seconds, then plug the cable back in. The white status light will blink while the product is powering up. When the product has finished powering up, check the Sonos app to see if it has reappeared.
If the product is showing a flashing green light after powering up, you'll need to add it back to your system.
Reboot your router
Unplug your router from power for ten seconds and then plug it back in. Your router may take several minutes to come back online. When your network is back, check your Sonos app to see if your product has reappeared.
Preventing Sonos products from disappearing
Move the Sonos product closer to the router
If your Sonos product is far from the router, it may be struggling to stay connected to your wireless network. Try moving the product closer to the router to prevent future drops. If your Sonos system is in a wired setup, move the product closer to the next closest Sonos product instead.
