Got a good deal on a new Playbase for the master bedroom. I exclusively use a Firestick which uses a Bluetooth remote. Since the Playbase is IR controlled and has no HDMI ARC I need a solution for controlling the Firestick and Playbase with one remote. Was curious what you all have found to work best?
So far I kind of like this option..,

The Firestick remote can already emit IR codes for volume control. You just need to configure it to a suitable TV manufacturer in the Firestick settings then train the Playbase with it.

+14I have a Playbase in my bedroom hooked up to a Fire TV which has the same kind of remote as a Fire stick. Like Ratty said above, I had to configure the remote in the Fire TVs setting to work the Playbase. It worked fine :) I did not have to do anything in the Sonos app.
I was under the impression that the Firestick remote would not control the Playbase volume. Thanks for setting me straight :)

You might need to do both.
