Pairing a Play:1 with the new Sonos One

I think it is obvious by now that the determining factor as to whether they can be paired is Airplay 2 support. There is absolutely no reason for Sonos to break precedent and allow one to pair two unlike models, only to disable that ability later due to incompatible support of Airplay 2.

Since the thread is not locked, I'm just gonna go ahead and reply.
Now that Airplay 2 is out, people may be wondering if the Sonos One + Sonos Play:1 supports Airplay 2. It does! Just paired my new One and my Play:1 using SonoSequencr (One on the left as it says in the App) and it works almost flawlessly. "Almost" because I experienced a little bit of stuttering for a few seconds occasionally (two times during about 4 or 5 songs), but I think either the music service, my phone or Airplay is to blame.

Hi,

I am going to try the Sonosequencr app to stereo pair a Play:1 and a Sonos One but have one question.

Do I just need to pair it once in the Sonosequncr app and then it is paired for good? Can I then use the paired speakers via the Sonos App or Spotify App as normal or do I need to go through the pairing process each time I want to play something? Or can I only use the paired speaker through the Sonosequencr app?

It works just like a regular stereo pair. It also survived a reboot of the play:1, so I‘m confident it survives a full reboot, as well

I haven't read all 15 pages of this thread, so apologies if this has been answered. I currently have a playbar with two play:1 as surround. I'd be interested in swapping one of the Play:1 for a Play one using the sonosequencer method.

Does anybody know if i'll be able to use features such as airplay 2 for the entire room using this workaround? Alternatively, I was thinking about swapping the playbar for a beam and using the play:1 as surround.

I don't own an iphone. How am I supposed to use the "magic" SonoSequencr app to pair my Sonos One and my Play:1? C'mon sonos, they are the same gear...

Borrow an iPhone. And they are not the same gear. The processor in the One is twice as powerful as the Play:1, there is more memory in the One, and every piece of hardware except the plug assembly are different.

Borrow an iPhone.

anyone with a real solution and not a temporary workaround?

What is temporary about it? Do it once and it stays paired permanently.

mmm so can I access and manage the "couple" via standard android app once paired? What kind of sorcery is this?
