I bought one of these yesterday but it doesn’t seem to do what I expected it to do.

When I pair it with a speaker, and then group that speaker with other speakers, the remote then controls the overall volume of the group, not the volume of that individual speaker within the group.

So it doesn’t behave like the volume control buttons on a speaker, as suggested by airgetlam in this (locked) thread:

How can I configure this device to control only an individual speaker, even when it is part of a group of speakers? Or is that simply not possible? If so then I am quite disappointed. I usually have the same music playing all over the house as I wander around, and my plan was to have one of these in each room. But if each one will simply change the overall volume for the entire group, it wouldn't really work.

Are you using the Ikea hub or a third party integration?
