S2: The «Pause all» button in rooms tab

Would this be achivable using voice commands, for example on Google Assistant?

Sonos never comments on upcoming changes to their software. The best you’ll get is a ‘thanks, we’ll pass the feedback to the relevant team’ without commitment as to whether or not it will be (re)implemented. 

Just tried this. Telling Google Assistant to “Stop all music” only stops the music on the player you address. So GA is not an option to achieve this.

I still use my (now retired) Alexa skill for this: when leaving the house, “Alexa, tell my speaker to pause everywhere”.

I would bet this is a bug rather than a dropped feature, since it appears the button does appear on Sonos support documentation.  In which case, Sonos still wouldn’t give an exact ETA, but you’d get an acknowledgement that it’s a feature that should exist.

Hi folks,

I can confirm that the Pause All button was removed from S2 mobile controllers by design. Unfortunately, I’m not aware of exactly why this was removed, but I can confirm that it’s not a bug and is expected. I’ll definitely pass on the comments in this thread in regard to wanting its return but as Bruce already mentioned, we don’t comment on upcoming releases on our roadmap.

I vote for the button to be reinstated. Certainly I don't use it very often in my S1 environment but it is one of those little features that just makes the controller feel that it was designed with the user in mind.
