Just out of curiosity, have you named both Sonos ‘rooms’ in your (physical) Lounge as ‘Lounge’?  If so, i don’t think it will confuse Sonos, but I think it would confuse me!

I have my rooms names with the speaker name, then - ‘the room’

For example my Beam room is called SONOS Beam - Lounge, and the Fives room is called SONOS Five - Lounge 😄

And my other speakers have similar names lol

I did have to play around with the Sonos voice to make him understand if I wanted him to play music on the Fives, using the Beams mic

Ah OK.  I was missing the fact that the ‘Five’ etc was part of your label, not standard into on the matrix - that should have been obvious to me by now.

Yeah my names are a little confusing 🤣

I like having the speaker name as part of the room name

Isn’t the word “SONOS” in the room name a tad redundant?

Did you ever try just saying ‘hey Sonos, play on my five’

And I’m glad you don’t have to use your Boost name with SVC 😂
