Group two speakers together but leave option for each respective group

I have two rooms:

  1. Living Room: sonos one gen 1
  2. Kitchen:  sonos one gen 2

We always play music using Airplay on our iPhones.

I’d like to have three ways to connect to bluetooth to connect via AirPlay:

  1. Living Room
  2. Kitchen
  3. All Rooms: both Living Room and Kitchen

As it is right now options one and two exist, I just need assistance in setting up the All Rooms option. I tried to create a group however it says you can only do that for three or more rooms.

Thanks in advance!

I think everywhere is only for more-than-two rooms. Just check the circle beside the other roomname.

With only two rooms the built in 'Everywhere' group already performs this function. There is no need for anything else.

yes - i only have two rooms - i’m not seeing it.

why can’t you create an everywhere group for two rooms?

incredibly frustrating.

I’d assume the action of clicking on the other room is considered the same as clicking on an ‘everywhere’ button. You still end up with both rooms grouped, so why display the unnecessary button?

Ah yes that's the explanation,  thanks Bruce.

To me, it’s extra logic that has to be built in, but meh, I’m not the Product Manager or the Engineer involved, so who knows. ;)
