My god man??? 5 years old! What kind of animal uses such old equipment?
It's a speaker. It makes sound. They new this day would come, they could have put them in a legacy mode that is compatible with all current features, and just won't work with new ones.
What they are doing they are basically telling consumers if they want to keep using Sonos and expand their system they need to bin their old gear.
I'd actually really like to know what physical capabilities require this move. If the processors can't handle the new technologies, they probably should have foreseen this, and made the boards swap-able. They could have sold you an upgrade. There are many ways to handle this. Making your old equipment useless is not one of those ways. It certainly isn't good PR.
I'm still using 30 year old speakers and receivers. They work just fine. Throwing stuff out that is 5 years old? That's garbage.
