Google Nest Team: Update regarding recent changes to speaker groups for Nest speakers, displays, and Chromecast

cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/2157354 (![email protected])

  • Change made to allow devices to belong to only one speaker group at a time is being reversed.
  • Legal decision invalidated two patents Sonos claimed were infringed, prompting this reversal.
  • Devices will again be able to belong to multiple speaker groups without error.
  • Update rolling out immediately on Android and soon on iOS.

Fantastic. This was a flagrant abuse of the patent process.

I hate to be the one to suck corpo dick here, but part of me hopes Google sues Sonos into oblivion for damages over this, then buys up the remaining scraps of their team, and sunsets their project.

Great! Now all you gotta do is get speaker groups to consistently work!
