I just moved a speaker to another room. How do I change its name so I don't have multiple speakers with the same name?

      What is the recent way of editing a speaker name? The “room setting” ability appears to ave been removed....

      On a mobile controller touch More on the tab bar, then just as in @jgatie's post.

      How can this be so hard? All I want to do is change tne name of a speaker in my system. I don't seem to have "more" either.

      It is only available on the mobile app - More highlighted in red:



      From there go to Settings->Room Settings->(Room name), tap on the room name to edit

      You are no longer allowed to change the name of a speaker using a PC or a Mac. Because Sonos hate us.

        I changed the name of the speaker through the mobile app and it resorts back to the original speaker name. For example I moved a Sonos one from an exercise room to a MBR, renamed and retune and it changed for awhile and then resorts back to the original name, exercise room. Same with a speaker in the kitchen. I rename via the app and retune and then it stays for a bit and then resort to back to the original name. I have two sets of speakers with the same name which is annoying. Currently on hold with Sonos to find a fix.
