Reposted as I originally posted in the wrong group 🙄

We currently have 2 x ONE: one in the lounge, one in the kitchen and both grouped. Music is streamed all day as we WFH.
We’re thinking of buying a Beam soundbar for the lounge, and using that to listen all day in the lounge and grouped with the kitchen, and then when we watch TV. We’ve not really thought about what to do with the current lounge ONE.

When we watch TV, will we need to un-group the lounge Beam and kitchen ONE, or is there a way to set this up so we don’t have to ungroup/group each time we watch TV?

We could have the spare ONE in the lounge too, can I set up sub-groups? e.g.

Group 1(ALL) > kitchen ONE, Lounge ONE, Lounge Beam

Group 2 (LOUNGE) > Lounge ONE, Lounge Beam

And still stream music in the kitche whilst watching TV in the lounge?

Thanks in advance, hope that I’ve managed to ask this in an understandable way!

Enable the TV Autoplay and Ungroup on Autoplay settings for the Beam in the Sonos app. When the Beam detects an audio signal from the TV, it will automatically ungroup the Ones from the Beam and begin playing the TV audio out of the Beam. 

While the Beam is playing TV audio, you can still stream music in the kitchen.

You can save groups too:

Thanks for the quick reply @GuitarSuperstar, really appreciate it.

TV autoplay is a great feature, nice bit of thinking from Sonon
