I’ve been using zone with four Era 100 in my sun room since last fall. No issue to report, it’s perfect to play ambiance music in a large area. But since the last app update, my zone disappear and all 4 speakers become separate.
Am I the only one ? Is it a known issue ?

I was able to recreate the zone (I’ve done it twice ) but separation happen without reason after random time (could be a day or two)
Generate a diagnostics report with ten minutes of the next occurrence and speak to Sonos support. The report may indicate why the zone is separating.
Yes, it’s about zone not grouping, I now realise it could have been a slow network issue. I’ve seen the problem happening live and waiting a few minutes solve the issue.
It could be link with the new apps needing some fine tuning on the network side( the issue was not happening before the update). I have 22 Sonos speakers, I will probably isolate my IoT devices (not Sonos) on a 2.4Ghz network to avoid conflict and help synch between Sonos devices
Some folks see issues in well working systems after an update/reboot cycle, usually a network refresh will get things working again. Powering down that many Sonos, rebooting the router and powering them back up is a pain in the neck.
In my case, which "shouldn't" impact users with other DHCP servers, I ended up setting reserved DHCP IP addressses for all Sonos, then doing the network refresh to lock them in.
