Re-purpose Play: One speakers?

I just got a pair of Play SL speakers so I can have Airplay 2 functionality. (Yay!) I’m annoyed, however that my perfectly good Play: 1 speakers are effectively “bricked” now. Any suggestions on how to re-purpose these speakers?. For example: can I use them as monitor speakers or computer speaker via the Ethernet port? Should I just sell them on eBay?

As suggested above, use this as your S1/S2 compatibility resource.

@PKBenson The only thing that changed (caused by Apple) was that you could not play music stored in your iPhone directly to the speakers. Controlling your speakers has always needed the Sonos app. Some music services (like Spotify) can also control the speakers directly without the need to use Airplay.

As pointed out, you could use the Play 1’s as surrounds for the Playbar. Then they are not separately visible in the app and would heighten the enjoyment of your system.

Just a mention: you are not using a Sonos Bridge, are you? Because that’s the only cause I can think of your system would not have been be S2-capable.
