Our entire home is filled with Gen 1 speakers that we run on the Sonos 1 app on our phones, as well as on my laptop. My husband bought a Roam, not realizing it’s not compatible with the rest of our system. What’s the easiest way to initialize the Roam and use it simply as a bluetooth speaker that we can pair with other audio from our phones, independently of requiring the Sonos 2 app? Hoping I make sense and thanks in advance!

Power down all of the S1 units and close the S1 controller. Now you can install the S2 controller and the ROAM. After ROAM is installed, I recommend disabling automatic updates in the S2 controller. Now you can restart the S1 system and they’ll coexist.

+24“Gen 1 speakers” is ambiguous. Most speakers can work(*) on S2, the only exception is the Play:5 Gen 1.
(*) Work as well as the v80 app permits, of course.
