Do it. Please.
Hi All,
One great feature that would be interested to place in the roadmap, is the ability to get an audio device both in groups and standalone.
Coming from my personal usage, during my working time, Iâm listening in my office room on a specific pair of speakers, and after work I listen my music in multiroom including the living room, with many combinations of grouped speakers or standalone.
What is cumbersome is that I have to group and ungroup my set of speakers all the timeâŚ
That takes time and such experience is bad, you loose sometimes the synchro settings if you do that which is very annoying. If you donât want to group / ungroup you can play with sound level, setting some at zero, but if someone move a speaker by shutting it off, it stops all the music.
Very bad experience !!!
So I suggest the ability to create many groups of different kinds, keeping itâs own configuration, so the user can move from one to another or to a standalone speaker.
That would be so great !
Thanks for feedback about that
Best regards

Yes, the zone manager will be very very useful
+1 - Yes - Need to be able to create groups like âEverywhereâ âUpstairsâ etc.

+1 posts donât count - please vote using the Vote button at the top of this thread⌠Thanks.
+1 here. if Roon is not able/willing to implement this, we should at least be told. And then we can go try to get this feature elsewhere⌠simple.
Big +1. I want to configure rooms with multiple speakers/devices that are always grouped together, and then be able to assemble multi-room zones out of those. Having to reassemble the single room groups every time is such a bummer. Please add this, Roon!

+1 for both group zone and individual speakers
+1 the ability to have devices in several groups or to play them individually would be a great feature
I eventually got around to implementing a Home Assistant hack that does a bargain basement implementation of this. Itâs obviously not as good as Roon doing this properly - and you need to be running Home Assistant to use it.
The idea is that you set-up a new endpoint - which ideally doesnât play anywhere. If you have a ROCK youâll likely have HDMI endpoints not connected to anything.
When Home Assistant see this endpoint start playing - it will automatically group it with other endpoints. When it stops it will ungroup everything.
You can see the details here:

+1, saved groups and having the ability to have a speaker in multiple saved groups or select it individually would be an incredible feature.
why nooone from Roon cant provide, within 8 years time frame, any detail on this?
assume there is no update at all?
Anyone any hack how to achieve that? thanks!
Well, actually 9. There were two other threads previous to this one requesting Zone Management. This is the one which stuck, you can still read the others if you want. Look at the second post in this thread.
@Rugby read all of them, no results / outcome / progress ⌠just nothing.
I didnât mean to suggest that there was any movement, only that it had been requested long before this thread started.
My guess is that there is a fundamental issue that is not easily overcome. But, without an official statement no one outside of Roon knows.
There are a couple of issues like this that have been hanging around almost since Roon launched, like a locked Party Profile, or security settings. My first and only party which I let friends/family play with a tablet running Roon resulted in deleted music, because they didnât realize that deleting something from the Roon program actually removed the music files as well.
well i cant image such a fundamental issue, and if there is - why Roon doesnt officially respond to that? Its really âlovelyâ to listen audio (same input signal) in multiple rooms with delay per each room⌠as i cant use groups and group/ungroup on daily basis ⌠just insane.
This link seems to me like lack of any argumentation âŚ
Not to mention that Airfoil by Rogue Amoeba has been allowing multizone set saving for years.
Ok guysâŚfor $15 a month, I expect a premium player. The patent thing isnât a valid excuse - itâs been shot down for two years now now. Having to constantly regroup to play is stupid. My streamdeck canât pause them all at once so thatâs useless.
The entire point here is âmulti-room controlâ. I should be able to have multiple saved groups with overlapping speakers.
