Alarm simultaneously in more than one zone

Thanks for sharing!

Think this feature has been under consideration for too long!? Vote for this: https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/implement_customers_good_ideas_more_quickly

It should be possible to set different volumes for different zones too - the volume in the bathroom may well need to be higher than you want in the bedroom.

Hello, this idea has been Under Consideration for 8 months now. Sonos, are you planning on doing it soon? Thanks

This becomes more and more a critical issue for me. As the Sonos system expands through my house (10 components and increasing), I'd like to have different alarms set for more than one room. Sure I could set them for each and every room seperately.

But as I'm using Radio for wake signal, this means that I'm streaming the same music to many different zones. E.g. the two kid's rooms ring at the same time with the same music, consuming twice as much bandwith as necessary and even worse they are not synced. As the rooms are adjacent, this is pretty bad.

The same comes true for what I want our own alarm. I'd like to play it in the sleeping room, the kitchen (and I'd like to buy a Play:1 for the bathroom). But again, they are consuming more bandwith then necessary and they are not synced again. So I delayed buying the Play:1 for the bathroom, as it's useless when unsynced.

Sure I could set up zones. But the kids are not listening the same music all the time, so I cannot ensure that the two rooms are linked in the morning. The same is true for kitchen and bathroom. I don't want to play music on these rooms simultaneously in the evening. So I'd have to ensure they are linked when I turn them off. Especially bad if I listen to some music when going to bed and don't want the kitchen and bathroom to play here. It's pretty hard to set up the connection between these rooms after I fell asleep and when the music finished.

So maybe this explains why this is a critical feature. And it shouldn't be hard to implement, because in the controller it's a switch to multiple selections. Don't know about the system itself, but it shouldn't be a big issue itself as it's only setting up the necessary zone before starting the stream.

Please consider to increase priority of this issue.

I am new to sonos and think this will prevent me from purchasing more zones unless this is fixed

This could be solved like linn do with a "listen to" where you could listen to another source as an option on the alarm You could then have as many alarms as you like and they will all sync up and you could do it room by room

Thanks for sharing!
Please see my post about adding a "listen to" option on the alarm function that would easily solve this problem

I am waiting for this feature, it has become more of a need recently after I purchased a playbar for my kitchen TV, as there is also another zone nearby the use of the TV removes the playbar from the group normally used for the radio in the morning. Creating multiple alarms is not an option as the zones then play the same source but each with a different delay.

This feature makes many sense. I just installed two additional Play1 speakers and I was sort of expecting this feature to be present. Dissapointed right now.
