Default Volume Setting Required

I would like to see a setting that allows a preset volume level to be selected so when a speaker is turned on it starts at that volume level. It's quite annoying that if a speaker has previously been listened to at a loud volume setting and then turned off - it remains at that level when it is next used. Sonos, please can you consider this?

      I just added an amp.  Setup would be amp connecting my two front wired speakers along with a wired sub.  I also have 2 surround  Sonos speakers.  Now when I turn the tv on the volume is always of. I have to turn the volume up with the tv remote. Any ideas why the sounds is minimized?  My wife is asking why it doesn’t come on at the same level and why she always has to turn up the volume. Sort of the opposite of what others are asking.

      Agree with this. Definitely needed! Either "reset to volume 2 at 07:00' setting or "reset to volume 2 after X hours of inactivity".

      One possible workaround - use IFTTT - If This Then That app seems to be able to set Sonos volumes at set times - but that's just about to move to being chargeable

      Hmm. So I will try the solution above, something annoying but I am capable of doing.
      But for the less technical who simply have a Sonos system they wish to just ‘use’ then I’m guessing Sonos would recommend;

      • Get a computer, enroll for a more advanced user course.
      • Download suitable music editing software and enroll on a course to understand how to use it.
      • Create a blank zero volume track and output as an mp3
      • Go on a course to understand home networking.
      • install a NAS and learn how to link your Sonos system.
      • add track to NAS music folder and sync
      • follow previous solutions to set up a silent alarm with volume.

      Or.  Sonos design an option in setup…..
