Wishlist for Sonos Controller Improvements

I like the ability to make up of customise room grouping but also leave the single room speaker configuration alone, say I got 5 speakers in 5 rooms, I want to be able to create various combination for customs group like

Group 1: room 2 and 3
Group 2: room 2, 4, 5
Group 3: room 1, 2, 4
Group 4: room 1,3,4,5
etc..etc...

But I also like to be able to send sound to individual room and still have the grouping around

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Basically the ability to create Favourite Groups. Surely this isn't too big an ask.

My list, not that it will help. I’ve been waiting for these for years!

1: Reorder Favourites, perhaps group into family member folders
2: stream from native applications. Perhaps a $99 Bluetooth zone?
3: better alarm controls. Preset groups just for alarms
4: apple watch app with complications, and prob an android wear

Need a night mode for the controller app so it's not so bright at night.

Would be a rare phone or tablet that doesn't have an auto dimming screen; no need to have any app do it.

Yes, most screens do, ios even have night shift. But it looks like dark mode is coming to ios. So i think there is a need for it.

Quite a basic ask, but how about some skins or different colour options for the controller instead of the blue and black? Shouldn't be too difficult an option to offer?

Oh my god yes to the skins. Alternative colour schemes and buttons would be so amazing. I find it so hard to see what I'm trying to do on there at the moment because the colour scheme is so dark. Similarly, can something be done about the size of the buttons; they are probably the items I use the most after creating playlists, but they're impossible small- especially the 'time slider bar' (whatever that's officially called).
Under the 'manage' drop down, I don't see the need for five options which activate the same pop-up box (albeit a different tab on that pop up). Surely a button which opens the settings box is simpler.

Lastly, that 'rooms tab'. Is there some way this can be hidden if you're not well off enough to own more than one speaker?

Having written these, my conclusion is that there's a lot of wasted space on the interface.

This . . . exactly what I would like as well and very nicely described. It would be very nice to select a custom grouping just as you would any regular zone without having to go through the trouble of combining them.

Not to beat a dead horse, but there was no option to select integration with Amazon Echo on the survey. I would choose that one above all others ten times over.

I wish I could edit poll and add new things as they come up. But Echo integration is expected to be announced on August 30th.

I sure hope you are right! From the articles I've read, there is speculation that Echo integration could be announced on August 30th, but then there is just as much speculation to the contrary. They could also announce their own voice control, app voice control from a smart phone, etc. None of these we would be anywhere near as good as Echo. Do you have any reason beyond the speculation I have read to lean that way? Keeping my fingers crossed!

1. What about adding 'your music' to the navigation bar ? It would save some clicks.
Maybe even control Sonos from Spotify.

2. I'm always asked to quit tv audio when I choose to play from the playbar but not the other way around.
When I accedently hit the Apple TV control The music stops and the party dies. It's a real mood killer.
