How to join two or more Sonos (group) together with scene

[pjjameso]

I would like to be able to join two sonos units together via a scene.  One sonos would always be the master and the other unit the slave.  Is this possible? I currently have groups created in the sonos app accomplishing this and would like to be able to execute the same via a scene which would be executed by Alexa.

What would you do with it in a scene?

I would like a scene where if I tell alexa to turn on 'entertainment' it would group the family room and living room sonos speakers together. Off would ungroup them. Would work like party mode. Sonos has group functionality but the nodeserver currently doesnt seem to support it.

Group functionality via the nodeserver would allow for this functionality.

The other Sonos plugin (ST-Sonos) has this functionality.  I've used this in programs, not scenes, and it mostly worked (I currently don't use this function), though occasionally it wouldn't ungroup successfully IIRC.  I see there's a 7 day free trial that you could test it with.
