Pairing a Play:1 with the new Sonos One

Sonosequencer. Confirmed to pair them.

Also a disappointed customer here:(

Undisappoint yourself. Pair with sonosequencer. It is a perfectly fine work around

It works great... I've used it to create a Sonos One/Play:1 stereo pair in my bedroom. The small price of the SonoSequencr app is worth it to get around this unfortunate limitation Sonos seems to not want to remove.

Such a shame that i cant pair a play 1 with a Sonos 1. Sonos just missed out on £400 from me for this reason.

Ummm. Wasn’t the point of answers that you can

I'm getting confused. Sonos on twitter on this issue: "Sonos products only pair with like devices, e.g. Sonos One + Sonos One. You cannot pair a Sonos One with a PLAY:1" (14 october) . So, it can't be done.

But on december 28 Sonos wrote: "We did look into implementing but after much testing we found that it wasn't giving the experience we are looking to give with our products so we have not implemented the stereo pair feature between the PLAY:1 and Sonos One." So, it can be done but they didn't like the experience (whatever that means).

In the meantime the app sonosequencer can make it happen. I tried, it works, it sounds great. Still pairing in a 5.1 setup is not avaible. Please Sonos, put both options in your app. And if you can't figure it out how, ask Marcus Pleintinger to do it for you or offer him a job.

I’ve just got the Sonosequencr app but can’t see how you can pair a One with a Play:One; the Sterio Pair section says that it will only pair speakers that are designed to be paired

Choose the ‘create stereo pair’ command and, despite the explanation, you can choose any 2 unmatched speakers you like !

After reading these comments, it is such a shame that you cannot "stereo pair" a SONOS one and a PLAY1 together. Meaning you are required to buy 2 x SONOS ones.
I currently own 2 x PLAY1 & have them paired together as a left and right speaker in my kitchen.
i was hoping to buy a SONOS one in the kitchen as the left speaker and use my play-1 as the right speaker. - I obviously cant. which is disappointing.

is a stereo pair of speakers classed as a group? or is a group only when 2 independent speakers play, but under a named group?
i currently have a stero left & right pair of SONOS PLAY1s in my kitchen and they are under a group called "kitchen"

I also read on sonos 1: "Volume commands will only affect the player the command is directed to. If the player is grouped, the group volume will not be adjusted. "

Does this mean that if i bought 2 x sonos 1s & they are linked as a "stereo pair" under "kitchen", will it turn both of them down? (assuming you can stereo pair 2 x sonos 1's). or will it only turn down the 1 that picked up the command?

or does this mean that if you have 2 independent SONOS ones's that are grouped together in 1 room (not in stereo), it will only turn 1 speaker down.

i dont really understand why you would want 2 SONOS ones, both with the command function in 1 room, and why you cant link a SONOS 1 & PLAY1.
