Pairing a Play:1 with the new Sonos One

I have purchased both in the last week. I now realise they cannot be played in stereo as they are not alike. Although they are alike. Size and look suggested that the Sonos One basically is a Play 1 with Alexa on top. Why would you want 2 Alexa devices in the same room to access stereo. It makes no sense? It also makes my purchase totally redundant.

You can use the app called SonoSequencr to pair a One with a 1. Works perfectly.

No chance of this working to add a Sonos One (along with a Play:1) into a 5.1 setup?

Not yet but i just made a quick test and i was able to configure a Sonos One and a Play:1 as surround speakers to my Playbar. I just think about how to make this available in my app...

Hi Markus - any further progress on this yet ?

Sorry not yet finished... Still working on that.

Come on Sonos! if MarcusP can make it happen, you can do it too. Show your customers you care.

I also thought (wrongly) that these two devices would support stereo pairing, It is a shame as the stereo sounds fantastic through two play ones....

I was wondering: does Sonos officially has a statement on this issue?

Boo-urns. This is crap. Why would you need 2 microphone speakers in the same room? I expect that eventually, Sonos will re-launch all of their products with microphones in them, but I'm not going to re-buy all my speakers. I'm hoping that they come out with some kind of microphone you can plug in to all existing speakers, and maybe while they're at it they can throw in a line in and bluetooth chip to really make things work best.
At any rate, I don't expect to get much out of the "smart" speakers until Google Assistant is available and can do more than start, stop or adjust volume.

"The Sonos One will only pair with another Sonos One, for the purposes of creating a stereo pair or a surround sound setup. You can use a Sonos One in a household with any and all Sonos players. The Sonos One can issue commands to them all, and control what's playing. But if you're looking to made a stereo pair or surround sound setup, you'll need two Sonos Ones.

I'll make sure to pass on to the team that you're interested in seeing this at some point in the future, but there aren't any plans to share at this time that this might happen."


Join me to the list of people who would like to pair Sonos One with a Play 1. Apparently they aren’t to much different.
Best

I don't see why anyone would want to 'pair' a Play:1 with the Sonos One. They look totally different. This for me would be a no (perhaps many others as well). If wanting to add the new feature, just get an Amazon Dot. That would be a lot less expensive.

They do not look totally different they have exactly the same form and dimensions. They are slightly different.
They should pair together. Period.

Looks can be deceiving. They are completely different hardware-wise, except for two components - the base and the power cord attachment. Bottom line, they are two different models, and Sonos has never allowed the pairing of two different models. Nothing new here, and if they did allow pairing, it would be an anomaly.
