Have the Playbar automatically group back to previous group when TV playback is ended.

The PLAYBAR has the autoplay mode that will remove it from the group when audio from the TV is detected. After you are done watching TV and want to return to listening to music through All Sonos devices, you "must" manually add the PLAYBAR back to the group for audio playback. Why couldn't this be automated? If the TV is not on, the Playbar should be automatically grouped back to the previous group, as it was before you started watching TV. Maybe, a "default" setting that it can return to automatically.

Please you add this feature. This is REALLY annoying to have to regroup the speakers each time you watched the TV...

Thanks

Just added 2x play 1 to my sound bar. I did not buy them to manually group and ungroup them all the time.

Just to confirm, there is an option to un-group automatically when the Playbar goes in "TV mode" - Check the settings.
What's missing is the option to re-create the group once the Playbar leaves TV Mode.

Yes, my bad.
I have added the Sonos 1s as surround speakers tot the playbar now. Setting the TV surrouns volume tot 0 solves it for me.
Nevertheless I think the regroup option should me implemented..

I'd like this feature too. I wonder whether it's a technical issue regarding what to do when the previous grouping configuration is no longer extant.
