Basically I am very satisfied with the system. I have a few boxes throughout my house and would like the ability to set an alarm for the different play 3 and play 5 items that I have, but with individual sound levels. At this time the level you set applies to all of the rooms.

    Yes and also to choose more then one Speaker at the time. To explain: In the evening I will listen some sort of Music in the Bathroom and my Girlfriend want to listen nothing in the Bedroom. In the Morning we want to wake up with the Sonos in the Bedroom, and want to listen the same Music also in the Bathroom. So I have always to make a Group of the 2 Speakers in the evening (befor bedtime) an always to ungroup it in the afternoon. Pleas add the function to choose multiple Speakers and for every Speaker there one volume in the Alarm Settings. This would be really great 🙂 Thank you
    I'd like to start radio by alarm on 4 components with different volumes. Grouped Rooms take all the same volume now. Component Play:1 in the bathroom needs volume at 50%, while other Play:3 and :5 components need about 20% volume. Annoying.

    Jeg vil MEGET gerne kunne gruppere enkelte Sonos enheder (og ikke alle), når jeg laver alarm. Samtidig ville det selvfølgelig også være dejligt, at man samtidig kan sætte individuel volumen på enhederne.

    I need this feature,too. In earlier version it was possible to set different volumes for grouped players and the alarm rembered the volume differences of the players. Why does this no longer work?

    Two years and this still goes on unfixed?  
    Please add multiple volumes to alarms, or add an alarm option that does not change the existing music stream. The second would be the easiest to program and end up with the same results.

    Ehh, its Sonos.  Sonos' responses to all my requests is to point out this forum and then drop it.  I followed up anyway and asked to an alarm option that does not set a music source. Multiple alarms would then work for multiple speakers on a single music stream to adjust multiple volumes.  Klunky, but an acceptable work around will very little coding involved.

    Please post your support reference numbers to this forum.
    5.2 was just released and it also has the same alarm error. 
    5.2 also continues to have a security error. It is missing passwords. I don't need everybody with a smartphone and the ability to push two buttons simultaneously connecting to my speakers.

    I also need this feature - it's ridiculous that you can't specify volume levels for individual speakers in a group when setting up an alarm.  It'll also be a quick-win feature to add for the next release, from a software dev point of view.
