I recently bought a 2nd gen play 3 which is set up on the s2 app. I just today bought a 1st gen play 1 and play 3. They came with the little bridge item too. Is there a way i can connect all 3 of these items together and how. I’m struggling to even add the two 1st gen items to the s2 app setup I have with the 2nd gen play 3 right now!! Many thanks for any help

Have you reset the newly acquired items before trying to add them to your system? Don’t bother with the Bridge. Then once they’re all on your network you can use the Group feature to play sync’d music to all three speakers. 

No I haven’t. How do I do that? Thank you

I’ve got the 3 speakers set up now thanks. The two play 3 speakers are playing. But the play one is not playing music from it although the other two are.

Are the Play:3s in a stereo pair or are they showing in separate rooms in the app?

Are you able to select the Play:1 and play music to it?

To group speakers/rooms together, click on the symbol to the right of the volume bar on the Now Playing screen.

To help others: what was the fix?

All I had to do was reset the speakers I had bought second hand …. Then the app recognises the “new” speakers …. Pair all new speakers …. Check setup and add all the speakers as a group to play altogether
