Play:1 discontinued, can I group with a Sonos One or SL?

I understand Sonos is discontinuing the Play 1 model which is a real shame as it is a great little speaker and I never felt the need for the voice activated controls of the Sonos 1. I purchased a couple of Play 1s a couple of years ago with the intention of adding more as and when I could afford. Now I find it they are being discontinued and that even if I buy the Sonos 1, it won’t pair with the Play 1. Is this right and if so, what solution as I want multi room speaker play without having to start again from scratch?

Actually, the Play:1 was discontinued over 9 months ago.  And ‘pairing’ means a semi-permanent bond to make a stereo pair where each one plays a separate left/right channel.  It has never been possible to pair unlike models.  That is different from grouping, which is a temporary linking of 2 or more rooms to play in sync, and any Sonos can be grouped with any other.

I have play 1 units from 2014, but because I have Connect Amp/Connect units in use, and I am not interested in upgrades, I am staying on S1. But if I am not mistaken, the play 1 themselves can be moved to the new S2 controller/environment - evidence of on going support there?

You are not mistaken. Play 1's do S2.
