Recently bought a Move 2 as addition to my Era 300 to use together in my main living room with the option to take the Move 2 outside to flexibly broaden the area’s covered. Following 2 features are missing - any workarounds to this?
- using the physical volume buttons on either device I would like to impact the other device as well (currently only 1 device impacted but they are in the same room - I want both simultaneously)
- it’s possible to set individual volume levels per speaker which is nice as it allows to perfectly balance out based on position how strong each volume needs to be. However - for the automations (e.g. playing radio to wake up) this option is sadly not available.
Any workarounds, fixes, things I am missing?

When Sonos products are grouped together the ‘hardware’ volume controls ‘by design’ operate independently on each speaker. To have both use the over-arching ‘group volume’ you can use the Sonos App, or voice control (Alexa or SVC)… there are options using other Apps too.

No, an alarm sets the ‘grouped’ rooms to the same chosen volume - you can only currently do this with separate alarms, or with third party Apps, like Soro for iOS, but that iOS Shortcut-Plugin App has a bit of a learning curve to achieve the desired outcome. You could of course contact Sonos via this LINK and put this forward as a feature request.
