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.

Hi @Lewom . I think you can do the same in Spotify Connect, although it’s ages since I used Spotify.

It would save me time when choosing which speakers to play from (not my own screenshot). Because I wouldn’t need to choose one speaker first, and then go into Sonos and select the second speaker. An additional problem I face is that when I choose to group two speakers in the Sonos app, then they stay grouped in the Spotify connect app, and I must go back into the Sonos app to ungroup them. 

 

The screenshot posted is probably an older version of the Spotify App - I have an (...) ellipsis menu option next to each of my Sonos Rooms in ‘Spotify Connect’ that leads to a room grouping/ungrouping screen option. See my screenshots attached.

    @Ken_Griffiths Thank you. I’ve used it to group the speakers in my kitchen and living room. The problem is that it requires plenty of additional taps (it sends me into the Sonos app to confirm the grouping) and then the individual options “Kitchen” and “Living room” disappears and are replaced by the group that was just created. So going forward I only have 1 grouped option, instead of 3 (grouped + individual speakers)
