No, the Sub Mini is only compatible with the S2 app. It would work if you moved the Beam and Play:1s to S2.

Ok got it thanks

Are the Play 1’s gen 1? If they are Gen 2 you could switch to S2.

Are the Play 1’s gen 1? If they are Gen 2 you could switch to S2.

 

All Play:1’s are S2 compatible.  There are no Gen 1 or Gen 2 Play:1s.

So with adding the sub mini along with the beam gen 1 and the play 1s for the surrounds then they would be controlled by the S2 app correct?

my remaining speakers would all be controlled by S1 if I understand correctly

You could do that but it would really cripple your setup.

Far better to move all to a single S2 setup.

Can I move play 5’s and a sonos connect to the S2?

It depends on which generation Play 5 and the manufacture date of the connect.
