I have a Play1 on my counter in the master bath and now added and complimented with in ceiling speakers and grouped with a Connect Amp located in the closet. I want to group the volume control on the (easy to reach) Play1 instead of pulling out a smartphone.
+1 for this having just created a big open-plan downstairs with multiple players. Any update or is this even under genuine consideration from Sonos?
I would love this functionality as long as it is an option. I like the way the mute is grouped. It's great when your phone rings but I could also see how folks wouldn't want it grouped for volume hardware buttons.
Please DO NOT DO THIS unless it is an option rather than default behavior. as somebody who regularly runs 8 or more zones in a group it would cause complete chaos if somebody in a given room should decide to change the volume and it disrupted listening in other areas.

agreed. not a great idea for large systems.

Agree, it should just be an option. Just as you can connect the Subwoofer to a pair of Sonos, you should be able to volume-connect more speakers/pairs in one room. I guess I'm not the only one having more speakers in one room than just a pair, who would like to control volume in that particular room with the volume buttons without always starting op the remote app. Hey this is anyway also possible in the app - volume control for all group or seperate. Why not make it the same with physical buttons Sonos? Seems like just a software add on?
Bump. The option to do this would be extremely useful. The mute button actually DOES behave like this already... it mutes the entire group. Having an *option* to lock each zone's respective levels and then allow the hardware buttons to control the entire group would be extremely helpful without always having to launch the app, wait for it to find the sonos system, then slide the volume... a process that takes about 10-15 seconds for such a simple operation.

If it's done, it should mandatory be an option. See the fuss and confusion that was caused by the CHANGED funcion of the Mute-button!
Hi Gerard, 



this is not possible as the hardware buttons only relate to the physical Sonos Player, not it's role in a group.

Yes the mute button is an example of a change is still causing huge problems for a lot of people.
Please notice that all of us whishing for a hardware group volume option are saying OPTION, NOT default as is the case with the mute button change. It would make no or little confusion to add this as an option in group settings. Why not make it? How could this bother anyone? We are different type of users, with different needs. As mentioned, the mute button is ALREADY grouped, why not make volume a hardware group OPTION?

I understand you are asking for this to be an option (which would be fine) but because of Sonos' track record with the mute button I don't think it is possible to restate this too many times. It is for their benefit that it keeps getting repeated.
