Warning: new lan discovery feature in 2.3 (thread closed by ST)

Thanks for the feedback! Here are a few items to note:

  1. We looked at the devices customers first connect when setting up their Hub (and again when they add the next batch of devices). We wanted to build a simple, easy way for users to get the most number of devices connected right away.

  2. New devices are only added when the Add New Device screen is active. The devices are discovered via SSDP - which is a standard protocol the devices are using to announce themselves on the network. We are not logging information, etc from non-connected devices (e.g., song track information from non-connected Sonos devices). Once a device is removed we immediately stop logging data from that device.

  3. The feedback about devices automatically re-adding during the next discovery is valuable. Keep in mind, the need to delete devices following each new discovery session trends higher for the community (i.e., yall are power users and add devices more frequently than standard users). No promises - but based on the feedback, we will also evaluate the options for device level and/or a broad opt-out of the LAN discovery feature.
