would like the alarm to play in, the music source you’d like to play from, the
frequency of the alarm, and the volume and duration settings.
If you check Include Linked Zones, the alarm will play in the zones that are linked
together at the time the alarm goes off. It does not play in the zones that were linked
when the alarm was originally added to the Sonos system.

that has dropped off), your alarm will play the Sonos chime instead. To stop the
chime, you can press Pause.
