“If all of your products are compatible with S2, however, we recommend you update so you can enjoy the new software features.”
Sonos also points out that products made after May 1, 2020 will not be compatible with the S1 system, and the respective S1 and S2 apps are only capable of controlling products in each respective platform.
“You can continue using the S1 Controller app to control your system. You also have the option to create two separate systems: One with products that are S2 compatible, and one with products that are not. You can also upgrade incompatible products.”
Sonos adds that S1 users will continue to receive system patches and bug fixes for their system.
