Easily accessible group & volume scenes

It would be great if you could store "scenes", i.e. predefined groups and associated volume levels. They should be as easily accessible as the 'Sonos favorites'. An example would be "party" which could group all units in the house and sets the volume at the right levels between the units. Or "watching movie" which only turns on the playbar and associated Play:3 or Play:5's in the tv room, a the right volume level and turns off all other sonos units in the house. Or "OFF" which degroups all units and puts them all on mute.

      Please, please, please add scenes Sonos! I desparately want to be able to switch to different multi-room configurations in one step. And it's critical that I be able to group multiple components in a scene to listen to the TV output from our playbar!

      This is a popular request and one that I am sure Sonos are aware of. I'm not sure describing it as critical is realistic given that you would still need a controller to activate the required scene and grouping speakers is already trivially easy and quick.

      Actually grouping is easy. Setting relative volume is a pain in the ass that requires walking around the house and tweaking for relative volume. Computers and apps are supposed to mundane tasks for us like repeatable settings. Ones the house is grouped and relative volumes set for a party, it's ridiculous to not be able to save that as a scene or preset.

      I'm new to sonos but have purchase 6 play3, 6 play1, 2 subs and sound bar - 15 and counting... this is such a obvious HOLE in the application and to see that this thread was starting 5 years ago is discouraging. NICK MILLINGTON this needs you!

      The SonoSequencr app really works great for now. /:

      A good start here would be to allow the sub to belong to more Stereo Pairs
