Thanks Sonos for making this super confusing!

im going to ask my specific question since there is so much info out there on different situations and I can’t be clear as to what the right answer is unless I create my own.

Is this possible: I would like to add an aftermarket older version Jen one play five speakers to play in my kitchen, same music new room. Already upgraded my current system to the new app app S2. I am seeing conflicting info on the Internet as to whether or not I can now play my new system with the old system.it seems as though I can, but I need to downgrade my app to the S1. I am hearing that this is not possible please confirm and let me know what is possible.

current system

living room =2x One SL (stereo pair)

want to add
2x play 5 gen1

Once it is running the S2 app (now called the Sonos app) the One SL cannot be downgraded to S1.

Ok so thanks you guys are saying different things. One guy says I can not down grade app after it is upgraded and you are sending me a link that say how to downgrade app. So can you please just answer the question.

can I play same music in 2 rooms

room1 (current) room =SONOS One SL (Sonos app)

If you read the links they are not talking about downgrading but setting up a separate system for Gen 1 products that will only work on S1 controller. Separate means separate you will have two distinct systems_S1 and S2.

LOL

THANKS

I did read the article and I don’t think you read my question. And in the articles you sent, it did say how to downgrade apps, which the other guy said I can not do.

so forgive me for being uncertain as it seems there is a lot of conflicting info regard this. And I’m trying to get a straight answer.
