For example, it's 8am, I'm downstairs in my home office, listening to the news or some music on my Play:5. My wife's getting ready to head out to work, and in the bedroom, which is on a different floor and at the opposite end of the house. Both doors are closed too. She takes a moment to ask the Echo Dot in our bedroom about today's weather. And my Play:5 gets muted, despite being nowhere near where she is.
Why not group into zones to prevent this? Like "Upstairs Echo & Living Room" get grouped, and "Office Dot & Office" get grouped for muting purposes.
I can't see any options in either the Sonos app, Alexa app, or the Sonos Alexa Skill to do something like this, so if the capability exists, it's pretty well hidden.
