I don't follow this claim. I don't think anyone expects new features to make it to old Sonos devices. What's so hard about running a version of your v1 API indefinitely and occasionally backporting a bugfix or security patch?
- londons_explore 7y agoI think the issue is not the server API, but the app to hardware and p2p comms between different bits of hardware in the same house. Assuming every different version has a few quirks and bugs, maintaining compatibility between every version and every other soon becomes impractical, especially since you probably want to build some kind of integration test that checks this all works as it should, and that probably involves a lab with all the old hardware and a human running hundreds of tests by hand because it's hard to automate tests on embedded stuff that you can no longer compile software for.
