Hi Guys,
I have been a Sonos user for a few years now (4x Sonos One’s, 4 different rooms) and I am considering upgrading my living room set up to 5.1 by utilising one of my existing Sonos One’s and buying a Beam, a sub and a One SL.
However, I want to know if there is an option to regroup my potential 5.1 set up to the existing group after the TV is switched off. I currently have my rooms permanently grouped as I like to listen to the same music in every room. I don’t want to have to manually regroup my living room to the rest of the system every time I turn the TV off. Is this a feature which has been implemented as of yet? I currently use a Panasonic sound bar in the living room that I want to replace but this feature alone is preventing me from making the purchase.
My ideal scenario would be:
- wake up and listen to music in every room.
- switch tv on and living room ungroups from other rooms and plays TV sound.
- turn tv off, living room regroups with other rooms and is ready to play music again.
I understand it only takes a few clicks to regroup but I like how easy my current set up is as I rarely have to group rooms or use the Sonos app. The annoyance would be if I turned TV off and then told the Beam Alexa to play a song. I would then have to regroup all other rooms with the living room to get it back to how i like it.
Is this a feature which Sonos has included yet? Please let me know as I want to upgrade my system!
Many thanks
Jacob
