Would be nice to set up a couple of default groups and just be able to select those instead of alway having to go individually and select. I have 9 rooms on Sonos. Usually have a group of 3 together and a group of 2 together.

        Yes this is also a often missed feature for me. I have three devices but I mostly use three different combinations out of the possible six.

          yes, this would ease a lot the use of any sonos system comprised of more than two devices

          The requested feature has quite some supporters. Please have a look at http://forums.sonos.com/showthread.php?t=14604&page=17 .

          I believe this would be one of the most impactful and useful features sonos could add to their controller. If they could integrate this into the alarm, even better. Sonos pretty much does everything I could want or imagine except for this one thing.

          I'd like this feature to also allow for an optional per speaker default volume setting to be applied when the preset group is selected. Right now when after manually reconfiguring to a different grouping you have to go in and adjust the volume on individual speakers to get the correct sound balance.

          Would also be nice if preset groups (and associated volume) can be automatically activated at a preset time.. Handy feature to make time based auto play (aka alarms) more useful.

          In a bathroom where all power goes off when I hit a switch, Would it be possible for Sonos to auto-rejoin the last associated group? I tested it with a Play5 but it didn’t work so I had to explicitly turn music back on in that room all the time. Maybe this can be made possible with an upgrade? Maybe the default group option might help vs auto-rejoining-last-known?

            This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Group Defaults. Have groupings that can be saved and have one grouping that is the default. For instance, when I go into SONOS initially it would put all the outside speakers together and the Master Suite areas together. It could preset the volume and load a playlist. That would be a named selectable pre-defined grouping. More groupings would be available. Also you could allow "last-used grouping" to reload if a network problem ungroups rooms.
