Just a friendly reminder that Sonos is a data broker masquerading as a music hardware company.

If you have the necessary skills, expertise and equipment I[1] will pay you to reverse engineer any and all of the hardware devices, network protocols and security measures that Sonos uses in their products.

I will then publish this in a public repository and pay lawyers to keep it live.

This does not help me in any way. It only hurts Sonos.

This is the classical definition of a spiteful action and I can't wait to undertake it.

[1] You know where to find me.


I have no idea how to find you, but there are numerous open source sonos clients such as https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo out there that use the sonos API without requiring location services.
