recovery after power failure

I have nine Sonos speakers mostly used to listen to BBC Radio 4.  Whenever we have a power interruption (quite frequent) they all loose their default Radio 4 setting.  Is there any way I can get the system to restore these defaults when the power returns?

Playback state is always lost on a power cycle. Just make a Favorite for your station so it is easy to resume when it comes back up.

It would be nice to retain Playback state on power cycle to save having to open the App each time (with 9 devices) to resume - even when it’s a Favourite.  Would this be possible or is it technically difficult?

Unless Sonos has put non-volatile memory in the players it is likely not possible.

Mom has your same issue but my adding a favorite to her My Sonos has her working again quickly.
