Hi. I am having an issue. Two Sonos One v2 speakers grouped as Living Room. When I use this integration and select the Living room speak only the left speaker does the TTS rather than both as per the normal sonos integration

@cstrand89 moved your comment here. The Sonos audio clip API only allows you to target one specific speaker at a time, not a group. You can try to target multiple media_player entities in the same service call, but they will not necessarily be perfectly synchronized as it will try to send the same request to each speaker in parallel.

If you have speakers in a stereo pair or home theater setup, those will be considered one "speaker" and will play simultaneously.

Hi. They are set up in a stereo pair but the voice only gets played on one of the speakers so it is not played on both.

Ha, you're right. I had tested against a stereo pair but I had always been sitting to the side and didn't notice sound was only coming out of the nearest speaker. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to solve this since the cloud API only provides information for the "primary" speaker of the pair (the left one). We don't even have a way to target the right (non-left) one at this time.

@cstrand89 I added support for playback on bonded speakers in the 0.1.0 release.
