Phase 1 of my Sonos system set up with three rooms so far, and it is great!
Have 2 Play:5s in Family room, Play 3 in Dining and Play 1 in Kitchen. Music collection is smooth now I have moved it off the Mac which was always going to sleep onto a NAS. Control with a CR200 plus various Andoid and iThings. Will be adding 4 more zones in living room, bedrooms and deck and more Sonos Controllers soon which leads me to my question:
How can I set the various controllers up so we can avoid "Dueling Controller Syndrome" and all out Family Wars?? Daughter #3 thinks the world is perfect only with Justin Bieber 24/7, #2 is a sadist tormenting us all with Skrillex at max volume and #1 has ADD and only listens to the first 10 seconds of anything before hitting Skip! It seems each controller can control the entire house, or am I missing something? It would be nice if Dad had the only phone that could access the complete system and the kid's phones only worked in their own bedroom and I would use the CR200s in the family room, living room etc as it stays there anyway.
Five people + 8 zones + All The Music On Earth = Recipe for conflict
Any ideas to assign restrictions?
