Hi All, I am thinking of getting a pair of Sonos Era 100 SL speakers to use as a semi travel and stereo audio set up in a remote office. I had a couple of questions I cannot seem to find accurate answers for so hopefully members here can point me in the right direction.

Firstly, I have a pair of 5s I run in the bedroom via WiFi and ethernet connection at home so have my Sonos account and streaming service/sonos radio settings for that but can I set up a seperate location in the app and on my laptop app so I can switch from home to office settings within the app?

As for the Era 100 SLs, If I'm going to use the headphone output of the the laptop I know I will need to use a Sonos line-in adaptor to one speaker. Can I confirm the other speaker will then auto-detect the stereo signal without needing a line-in adaptor as well or do I need a split mini headphone cable to L and R channels and 2 line-in adaptors?

Finally, when on the road and connecting via Bluetooth in stereo mode, will the pairing happen automatically or do I need to pair with each use?

I'm currently using a pair of UE wonderboom 2 for the job but the connection reliability is getting worse and I think it's time for a change. Any advice or insight will be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
