Okay, I’ve read numerous suggestions over the years to establish presets or scenes so you can, worh minimal effort, reset your system to play certain configurations (volumes, locations, etc.).   But they are always closed with no resolution.  This is an EASY feature.  Why does Sonia continue to ignore its best clients?

    It may not be as easy a feature in the Sonos code base as you think it is. I’m not familiar with their code, so I don’t know one way or the other. But if it was ‘easy’ as you suggest, my suspicion is it would have already been done.

    I agree have saved preset scenes with groups, volume, and playlists would be amazing and long overdue. I’m not a programmer but I would think if I can click on a series of buttons on the app to do this manually that they could figure out a way to add scenes that do this for you each time I select it.

    Hi yes a basic feature of different room collections would be ideal to start with. At the moment one speaker can only be in one group, it’s a big limitation.

    Just for info...you actually can have the same speaker saved in different controller groups.. goto ‘Settings/System/Groups’ in the App to create a Household controller group.

      Scroll down, it’s under “System Settings” below the Rooms list.

      I don’t think @drsrjones is actually referring to Sonos groups, but Sonos rooms?  In other words, user wants the ability to move a sub between two different rooms quickly, for example.  That request is actually a bit different than the asking to have certain default volumes, etc for preset groups of Sonos rooms.

        Hi, no, I want to be able to put one room in more than one group.

        That’s an S1 controller. Saved/named groups are only available in S2.
