Alarms - Grouped Rooms

New feature request. Would be nice addition to the alarms function if instead of just being able to have grouped rooms included in the alarm, being able to select which rooms to group for the alarm. In my scenario, I have certain rooms that are grouped at night for a bedtime alarm that begins a certain playlist. In the morning, I would like to have an alarm that plays a morning playlist in a list of grouped rooms that are not necessarily the same as the bedtime alarm. Now those rooms have to be already grouped in order for an alarm to work. I want to be able to specify which rooms should be grouped when the alarm is executed, even if they are not currently grouped.

    While it requires additional hardware, I have Lutron smart lights in my home with an associated bridge. The bridge recognizes my Sonos players and I can schedule a specific Sonos favorite (in my case an internet radio station) to play in a room or rooms, and can specify the volume to start playing in each room. I can schedule this or invoke this and other "scenes" using Alexa voice control. It's not a Sonos native solution, but since I already had Lutron products and the bridge before I purchased any Sonos products it works great for me at "no extra cost".

    I don't mean to minimize the feature request. I'm posting to share my experience in case it helps someone else.

    four years later and still we have alarms for ONE room with 'include grouped rooms' - it's just a terrible UX. Is there any hope we can have alarms for multiple rooms?

      My full support for this suggestion.
      Over the years i assume many more customers now have multiple rooms and would love to have a more flexible system than just “play in grouped rooms”
