Save your Sonos groups and volumes — restore them in one click

Regroup everything for a party, then put your home back the way it was. A scene remembers which rooms play together and how loud each speaker is.

How it works

  1. Group your rooms and set each speaker's volume the way you like it.
  2. Open ★ Scenes at the top of the room sidebar and choose Save current layout. Give it a name, such as "Evening" or "Party".
  3. Later, however your speakers are grouped, press Apply next to the scene. Doppelgänger takes the scene's rooms out of their groups, builds the saved groups again and sets every speaker's volume.

What a scene remembers

  • Which rooms are grouped together, and which play on their own
  • The volume of every speaker in the scene
  • Your whole home at once, not just one group

Click a scene in the list to see its groups and saved volumes.

A default for every day

The first scene you save becomes your default, marked with a star. Make it your everyday arrangement, and after a party one click puts your home back. From a scene's ⋯ menu you can set another scene as default, rename it or delete it.

When a speaker is off

If a speaker in the scene is switched off or can't be reached, Doppelgänger skips it and builds the rest. If the speaker that led a group is missing, another speaker of that group takes over. Speakers you added after saving the scene are left as they are. If a room couldn't be restored, Doppelgänger names it so you know where to look.

Questions

Does applying a scene start music?

No. A scene groups your speakers and sets their volume; it doesn't choose what plays. Start your music once the rooms are grouped.

Can I use my scenes in the Sonos app?

No. Sonos's own apps group rooms, but they don't save groups and volumes as scenes. Doppelgänger keeps your scenes on your Mac, so the Sonos app doesn't show them.

What do I need?

A Mac with Apple silicon and a Sonos S2 system on the same network. Scenes are free to try for 14 days with every other feature; after that they need a licence, €29.95 once. Scenes you saved during the trial are kept.
