WEB-APP how switch between 3 SONOS systems

I recently stumbled upon the very interesting web app. I have three different locations on the same Sonos account, each with its own system (Home, Work, Office). The web app allows me to control and manage multiple systems remotely, which is fantastic.

Once I've connected a system, I can't switch to another one. I have to disconnect and reconnect, but I can't change systems. Each time, I have to disconnect, clear all history and cookies to see the system options when I log in.

Question 1: Do you have a simpler solution for switching between the Home, Work and Office systems (these are 3 different addresses)?
Question 2: Can I manage an S1 system with the web app?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Use a Private web browser window each time, then your Household selection will not be remembered.
No, S1 has too old an API for the web app to use. Last time I checked it did show on the initial Household list, but failed to connect when chosen.

I started connecting the web app in three different Chrome profiles, and it works.
I have the same problem, I can see the system in version S1, but I haven't been able to connect to it

Thanks for the very fast answer

I see you know this well, I have one last question :

Question 3 : Do you think Sonos will implement security measures for the system?
Currently, I have to put my setup on a dedicated Wi-Fi SSID so my visitors can't tamper with it.

Better solution is to create a separate SSID for a ‘guest network’ for you visitors/guests with Internet only access.

That's exactly the solution I implemented.
Secure SSID Wi-Fi for my connected devices: cameras, tablet, computer, alarm system, detectors, smart plugs, and other smart home devices. A guest SSID Wi-Fi network without LAN access, but with direct internet access.

Wish you a good day

Bye

Yes, Sonos added some security options a few months ago:

You should still keep guests off your business wifi though, give them a dedicated isolated network instead.

And as a business user you should check out Sonos Pro, it gives you multi-location support and legal-for-business music services:
