1. Settings → Sleep timer
Want a timed listening session? In Cast to Sonos, version one point three point zero, open Settings from the home screen's gear icon. Find Sleep timer. Its subtitle shows the current timer setting.
2. Choose a duration
Tap Sleep timer to open Stop after. You can choose fifteen, thirty, or forty-five minutes, one hour, ninety minutes, or two hours. There is also a Custom option. Choose a duration that fits your listening session.
3. Example: 15 minutes
Here, we select fifteen minutes. The dialog closes, and you can check the Sleep timer row again. This tutorial shows setting the timer; it does not wait fifteen minutes to demonstrate expiration.
4. Off cancels the timer
To cancel the timer, open the same menu and choose Off. Off disables the timer; it is not a command to stop playback immediately. The setting returns to Off. You can come back here whenever you want to set a new duration.
