Beam shows as 2 devices

New Sonos/Beam user. In Alexa settings, I see two devices

  1. Sonos Player in Living Room
  2. Sonos Player Controlling TV in Living Room

What is the purpose for each?

One is for streaming audio, the other is for CEC control of the TV. This is perfectly normal.

So, if I'm creating an Alexa group of my downstairs devices, do i add both to it?

Thank you!

It can't hurt, but logically I wouldn't have thought that adding the TV control bit would make any difference. TBH I never tried it. Others can comment.
