Pairing a Play:1 with the new Sonos One

Agreed, and that's what I did with Trueplay. I just wondered if that was one of the reasons people were so stubbornly ignoring the solution that's right in front of them.

No I think it’s just stubbornness.

In the years I've been here, I have found there is a significant portion of users who are far more prone to complaining about a problem than they are to solving a problem. Case in point, the person who complained about Sonos promising to deliver Spotify for Alexa "by" a certain date instead of "on" a certain date, as if delivering it early (which it was) is a bad thing.

Again - for those who wish to pair a Play:1 with a Sonos One for stereo or surrounds - SonoSequencr will do it.

SonoSequencr, SonoSequencr, SonoSequencr. Say it with me now: Sono . . . Sequencr!

It's even got its own link:

^^^^There it is!! SonoSequencr!!^^^^

SonoSequencr, SonoSequencr, SonoSequencr !!
And then you can pair a Play:1 and a Sonos One ?! Really ?! Why did no one mention this before ? 🙂

Can I only use Sonosequencr once for paired my player 1 and one. Subsequently I will be able to use the Sonos app to play my music in stereo? Or do I have to go through the SonoSequenc applications thereafter to make my music play?

If this is the first case, I do not understand the problem XD

you only need to use it once to make the pair. after that the pair will 'stick' unless you unpair them again via the sonos app (or using sonosequenr) !

This is all so disappointing - when I bought my original 1 I had a long convo on the purchase support site about it being possible to control with Alexa and was told this was definitely coming. Also spoke about getting a second 1 later to create a stereo in the room - told this would always be possible. Now, I’m ‘ready’ to do the stereo (having been REALLYdisappointed by the Alexa being within rather than just ‘linked’, I now find the very thing I liked about the Sonos system - add at any time, easily expandable one device at a time - is not possible. Not good enough Sony.

The original 1 has Alexa ... what were you expecting it to do otherwise.

Sonos still expands speaker by speaker just as it always has. If your beef is you want to pair a Play:1 with a Sonos One as a stereo pair .... then pay the extra $2 and do it.

Its hard to have sympathy here - - it is a NON ISSUE.

The Play:1 and Sonos One will stereo pair. Heck a Play:5 and a Play:3 will then pair for that matter. You just have to use a 3rd party app to make the connection (just once and done). There is not a problem here. It probably takes the exact same amount of time to do it with Sonosequencr as it would if you could actually do it in the native app.

Chris - are you saying that I can make a stereo pair of an original Play1 and a new 1 (with Alexa)? The queries and responses here are saying not. I see now that it’s still possible to purchase original play1s - so am unsure what you mean about an additional cost (as it’s less expensive). I have an Alexa speaker elsewhere in my home and would like, ideally, to be able to play same tracks/radio station, as same time, through a Sonos stereo system in one room and the Alexa in the next room.

Buy a Play 1 for $226 on special at JB HIFI and an Echo Dot from Amazon on line also on special for $52
