Using multiple remotes with Ray

Is it possible to use two remotes with a Ray, without having to reconfigure every time? I have an Apple TV and a TiVo. I can program both to control the volume on my Ray but I have to reconfigure using the Sonos app every time I switch devices. Is there anyway that it can remember both remotes? Or am I setting it up wrong? TiVo and ATV connected by HDMI to TV. TV connected with optical to Ray.

I have this exact setup on two systems (well with Playbars, not Rays). Both remotes control the volume without issue.

First, program the TiVo remote to control your TV volume.

Next, teach the Ray your TiVo remote (or TV remote, same IR signals at this point).

Finally put the ATV remote into IR mode and teach it the same codes.

You must ask each remote to pretend that it is controlling the same A/V unit as the other remotes have been programmed for. Go to each box’s setup and program it to control the Volume for model XYZ. Then go to the SONOS setup and train it to use the Volume commands from XYZ.
