I have a Gen 1 Play:5, been working great on the S1 Sonos App.  I also have several other Sonos products on the Sonos App, two seperate systems.

I need to re-add the Play:5 to multiple iPhones and iPads. 

I have successfully factory reset the Play:5 and added to one iPhone, BUT, when I attempt to add it to other iPhone and iPad devices the S1 Sonos App cannot find the Play:5.  It continues to find the other Sonos devices and wants to connect to those.

Any tricks I have missed in getting the Play:5 added to my other iPhones and iPads.  

Again, I have the Play:5 successfully added to one iPhone, just cannot get S1 Sonos App on the other devices to find the Play:5.

Oh, let me add that I’m on a Unify network.  I know there are quirks with Sonos and Unify, or at least there were...

Not sure I understand. There’s no “adding” the device to multiple controllers, there’s just having multiple controllers added to a single Sonos system. 

Once the PLAY:5 is set up on your Sonos “household”, you’d just add a controller to each additional device (up to 32) and when prompted, have them “join existing system” to connect. Then they’d all control the PLAY:5 (and if multiple users, could “fight” over who controls the music, but that’s a whole ‘nother issue)

Unify makes things more challenging as they’ve got (if memory serves) a bunch of different subnets for each “puck”.  But there’s a ton of threads about how to set up Unify networks, if you just do a search.

Thanks Bruce,

I’ll followup with the Sonos config 1st.  I went thru that process a year ago, probably just have to make sure that's all configured for Sonos.

Apologies for the terminology.
