I just started using Sonos Voice Assistant and I’m loving the ability to group rooms by voice. I have Groups set up like ‘Upstairs’ and ‘Downstairs’ which include multiple rooms.
Can Sonos Voice Assistant recognize Group names? It doesn’t appear so, but I’m hoping others might confirm.
The user guide references grouping/ungrouping rooms, as well as adding a room to currently playing group. But what I don’t see is that we’re able to activate a group itself via voice. Where one command for a Group activates multiple rooms.
For example, when I say “add in DOWNSTAIRS” (which is a Group of rooms that I’ve created) I want it to activate the living room, kitchen, and sitting rooms all at once.
Please follow the link in my post and in the last row of the Playing Music table:
Play in another room or on a saved group
"Play some jazz in the kitchen"
"Play Tame Impala downstairs"
In your example asking “Play Jazz in downstairs” will play in all rooms added to that Group
