Abstract
An example implementation may involve a playback device detecting placement of the playback device onto a device base of a particular media playback system.

Based on such a determination, the playback device may send, to the particular media playback system, a request to join the particular media playback system. The playback device may receive, from the media playback system, one or more messages that enable the playback device to join the particular media playback system, which the playback device may use to join the particular media playback system.
