Use this article to understand the currently supported features and current
limitations of Sonos Player integration.
Supported Features
* Control play, pause, volume, and tracks for a Sonos Player from an
Insteon Keypad, Mini Remote or Wall Switch
* Trigger a Sonos preset from an Insteon Keypad, Mini Remote or Wall
Switch
Controlling a Sonos Player from an Insteon device requires creating a
scene. Learn more about creating a scene by viewing this article.
Current Limitations
* App support currently planned for iOS first. Android will be coming
shortly after. No timeline available for Windows support.
* A maximum of four Sonos Players can be added to the Insteon app.
* Only one Sonos Player can be a member of a scene.
* At this time, you are unable to edit Sonos Player functions from
within a scene. If you wish to change a Sonos function after a scene
has been created, delete the scene and re-create the scene with your
desired changes.
* At this time, Insteon app-learned presets do not work with all
possible Sonos sources. The following sources have been tested and
are known to function:
o Amazon Music
o Apple Music Radio (Beta)
o Pandora Stations
o tunein
* To facilitate preset playback from an Insteon device, the Insteon app
lets you learn source presets. Configuring these playlists is done
from within the Insteon app when editing a Sonos Player settings.
o You can learn up to ten Insteon app Sonos presets
o These presets are shared among all configured Sonos Players
* Insteon has tested Sonos support with the following Sonos Players:
o Sonos Play:1
o Sonos Play:3
o Sonos Play:5
o Sonos:Connect
o Sonos Connect:Amp (ZP series)
o Other Sonos Players may work but have not been tested by
Insteon
* If your Sonos Players or your router are disconnected from power, it
may take up to two minutes before your Sonos Players are rediscovered
by the Insteon Hub.

The Hub is an entry level device. OTOH, not many or any HA devices integrate with Sonos easily.
Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018. Stu was a huge fan of Insteon and a huge presence on both the Smarthome and Insteon forums, helping thousands of us along the way (he had nearly 20,000 posts to his name). We thank him for his contributions, dedication, and passion for making the Smart Home a reality. He will truly be missed. Saving energy is not always free. Be a world saver.
I agree this seems rather limited. I was disappointed to see only 4 could be added and nearly wrote it off as a feature.
On the other side, I looked at the capability it appears the integration of Sonos is only geared towards alarm/alert usage and not full control. With that in mind, I don't see much need for more than 4, at least in my case. I am looking forward to the upcoming Echo/Sonos integration as a way to fulfill the need for Sonos support.
