We have 11 Sonos devices in our home and group 9 of the together virtually every day. However, each morning, the group has dissolved—no group is present. Why does this happen?

Groups should survive a low power state. It’s not going to survive a reboot, so if power is being cut to any/all of the units, the grouping will be lost.

Also, if one or more of the rooms is connected to a TV, a group will be broken up when the TV input is used. You can prevent this from happening by setting “Ungroup on Autoplay” to “Off” under the “TV Autoplay” settings.

Sonos speakers are designed to go to a lower power state when not in use, which may be what’s affecting the group.

Have you tried creating them and saving as a named group rather than a dynamic one?

Haven’t done that. Will need to search how to create a named group.

Thanks.
