I have read many posts about how to configure Sonos when you have 2 or 3 homes and how to manage the different speakers in each house. Many of the solutions involve “resetting” the app on your phone each time you go between each house, so the app somewhat “forgets” and “rediscovers” which house you left and which house you just arrived at.
I have managed to implement a different procedure that does not involve resetting the Sonos app and I wanted to share it and see if it fixed more problems than it creates for other members in the community.
I’m not sure how you would do this on an apple phone, but my Samsung Galaxy has a “secured folder”, which creates essentially a separate phone within a phone, where many apps can run in another “instance” with different accounts and without conflicting with the same app on the primary instance of the phone. Other Android phones can use an app called “Dual Space” which does pretty much the same thing.
So in my primary home, I am running Sonos normally on my phone for the network in this house. When I travel to my other home, I have installed Sonos again in the secure folder with a different email address and Sonos account. My music services are connected to both Sonos accounts with the same credentials for the music services. The only thing different is the Sonos username and email.
So on one phone, I’m running Sonos twice and they don’t see each other. One for each house.
