Allow controllers to pair with multiple home systems

I love the sonos connect so much that I got one at home, at work, for my brother, for my father and for my father in law. My only complaint is that my controller is locked to one system at a time. When I move between different houses I should be able to pair the controller on my phone with their systems and have it remember me when I come back - without resetting. I've seen the tip about bringing them all to one place and setting them up together. But that's not always possible or desirable. There is no real security concern because I still have to be allowed on their network and I'd still have to push the buttons on the device. Seems like a relatively simple software problem to allow me to pair with multiple systems and remember all the systems I've paired with.

    That is great news. I am so glad that Sonos is listening to their consumers. I will now buy the second system I have been wanting.

    John, Thanks for the update. Between this planned feature and the recent addition of the feature to play music from an android device, my love for Sonos is renewed!

    Excellent news! Off the back of my initial purchase my brother got a system I'd like the ability to control, and I'm planning another 2 systems for my family and in laws in another country. I can't lug bits of my original system around Europe to fix this problem. Thanks to Sonos for realising the multiplier effect a software controller fix will have. Bravo.

    I started this chain some while back and really appreciate the planned solution. I listed to Sonos every day at work, but never have the time to engage in the discovery that I can do at home at leisure. It will be great to be able to synch the two so that what I have the time to find at home can be background tune-age at work. Appreciate it.

    THis is great news. When it is implemented I will likely buy another system for my office.
