Is there anyway of setting up my home Sonos system ( linking all speakers together ) without clicking on the button on the back of the Sonos one . 
My Sonos one is in a casing / mount that I can’t remove ?

 

Any help would be great please ?

Hi ​@Brendan Nunnery 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

The answers you have received here relate to grouping speakers together, but I think your question might be related to setting-up one speaker in particular. If the Sonos One has been reset (flashing green light), there is no way to add it to a system without using the button at the back - it will have to be removed from the enclosure it is in.

I hope this helps.

You can use the app to group rooms. Or the button on the top of the speaker. The one at the back is for reset, as I recall.

There’s always the FAQ on how to group them.;)

The various controls and  buttons are explained here.

You should never need the back/Join/Factory-Reset button once you have done the initial, out of the box, setup. If you think you do, please call Sonos support first.
