Nice one!

But what happens if the bathroom speaker you are adjusting the volume on is not playing at the moment? I'm guessing it will not change any state for the player. I'm just asking since I sometimes turn off my alarm, and I don't want the speakers to start playing or acting up just because I'm adjusting the volume remotely from a script.

@Bjorn Yeah it's frustrating - I really don't see why they can't add this feature... it's obviously been an issue for years!

@laukvik Setting the volume will not trigger the speaker to play (there is a separate command for that).  My alarm is set to only go off during the week, however my python script is still set to run at the weekend, so the volume will get set but nothing will actually play - which is perfect.
any progress on this Sonos??

Ben, it won't take much longer before Apple will enter this market with a similar, yet better alternative. Time to turn to Craig's List with your obsolete Sonos stuff then.

Alarms just do not work well.

Yes, I do want the bedroom and kitchen alarm to go off together. No I don't want the back patio to play music to my neighbors in the morning. (It will unmute devices if you happen to use that method of controlling which devices play.)

No, I don't want them to play at the same % volume. That does not create an even sound

No, I don't want to have to remember to group the rooms just right before going to bed.

It's amazing that this basic feature has not been fixed after two years. This is not a feature enhancement that we should have to vote on; it's a plea to have this feature just work correctly.
+1!

Every morning I have to adjust the speakers in the bathroom and living room manually because the volume in the bedroom is set to only 2 % or something like that.

Can't be so hard to implement it...

Is this fixed yet? If not, does anyone have a link to a third party controller that actually does what the customers want?
