My issue is I have 13 products. Have had them grouped playing music “everywhere”. Notice over past 2 days, 2-4 of my sonos moves rename to “guest room”. One of them is guest room, the others are kitchen, gym, living room. The names changing change each time. I fix it, it’s fine for a day, then an issue comes again. 🙏🏾

device names changing when speakers grouped

To be slightly more specific, previous cases of this behavior have been caused by either Apple’s HomeKit, or other third party app, and not by Sonos…..

+18Sometimes Apple causes this? Are you an Apple user?

Thank you. It was Apple HomeKit. It was able to ad fall my products but only one of my sonos moves, and would name all my other moves then name of the one move it could add. Any idea how to fix that issue?
Unfortunately, or fortunately for me, I’ve completely avoided using HomeKit, so I have no particular advice, other that removing these speakers from HomeKit, so there is no ‘fighting’ between the two apps. Frankly, I’m not sure I understand why HomeKit is even allowed to control the names, but I’ve never bothered to investigate the specifications for that software.
