Pairing a Play:1 with the new Sonos One

What's the ETA on this fix? A little frustrating telling Alexa to play music and THEN still having to just got to the app to control the volume on the other speakers. Sorta defeats the purpose.

Nobody has even said it was coming, never mind when. The last communication on the issue was this tweet from the Sonos CEO:

Please add my support to this feature. The ability to pair a Sonos with a Sonos One would be great. I can't see any reason not to enable this as a feature.

Adding my agreement to this topic for CEO Patrick Spence. I just read your tweat, and as someone who delightedly bought three Ones to pair in three of my rooms with the Sonos surround set ups without realizing that they cannot be swapped for one of my Play 1’s on a pair... Of course we would expect these to be able to pair with a Play 1 despite the slight difference in appearance! It is ridiculous to think anyone would want two Alexa devices in one room. It isn’t needed and as some who has had my Echos too close to each other, it confuses Alexa.
I am glad Sonos is integrating with Alexa, but Sono’s really needs to give those of us with existing Play 1 systems the ability to pair new Ones with our Play 1s. I was starting with 3 but I was going to pair with all of my Play 1’s in all my rooms. What, does Patrick Spence expect someone like me who has them in 8 rooms to throw out all of my Play 1’s and replace them all with One’s. That is insane. Give those if use with existing systems (mine all bought last year) the choice as to whether we care about the slight visual difference and the choice as to whether we would like to pair with our existing Play 1’s.
I already have Echos in all of my rooms, so the 3 One’s I just bought are going to be returned until they can pair with a Play 1.

Hi... I did not read all 5 pages... But i was able to pair a Sonos One with a Play:1 with the iOS App SonoSequencr and all i tried after that worked for me. Alexa turns down the volume on both when talking, adjust the volume on both works and also using the official Sonos App to control that "strange" Steropair works. It is not my intention to promote the app. I just want to say that it is technically working (right now). Maybe with a future update this possibility will be canceled. Please be aware that you maybe get your system to a unsupported state with SonoSequencr because i do not make any limitations inside the app but this gives you a lot of more options what to do with your Sonos devices...

Marcus,

Did you pair (make them stereo speakers) or group (make them play the same streams)?

Same question as Bruce. I would think if it's true stereo, but not Sonos supportted, you'd see 2 separate groups playing in sync, one group for left channel, one group for right channel.

Hi, it is a real stereopair. One speaker is no more visible in the Sonos App after pairing. Its like you pair two Play:1. It is shown as L+R in Sonos room settings.

Interesting. What's the Sonos API call you're using for this? I wonder if it would work for ANY two speakers.

I just use the regular commands for creating a stereo pair. I think it could work with a Play:5 gen1 and gen2 also but i´m not sure what happens if you try to pair a Play:5 and a Play:1.

I'm willing to part with the $1.99 to give this a try... not sure I'd use the app for much else, but what the heck.
