		massysett on Dec 11, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why I Regret Making My House a Smart-House (2013) I have two Sonos ($1000) and they work quite well, but I'm queasy about how they will essentially be bricks if Sonos goes out of business. I have other dumb speakers and amps that are over ten years old and they will not have this issue.

Sonos doesn't rely on cloud services. If you disconnect the internet, Sonos will still be able to play any local shares you have setup.
