Local controls control local volume only when a group lead

I would like the option to have local volume controls adjust only the volume on the local device when that device is a group lead in a speaker group. In my case, I have a WiiM Ultra driving powered speakers and a powered subwoofer in my office. I also have a WiiM Pro connected to my home theater system, one in my garage, a Mini upstairs connected to a powered speaker and a WiiM Sound Lite in my bedroom.

I often start listening to music in my office on the WiiM Ultra. Then I get up to do stuff and want to add the music to the rest of the house. I have an "All Speakers" speaker group I can select to do that. The problem is, if I get back to the office and want to adjust the volume there using the knob on the Ultra or the remote, that adjusts the volume for the whole group. I want to adjust only the volume in the office. The only way I can figure out to do that is using the app, which is quite inconvenient as opposed to just grabbing the remote. Frankly, I also think it is unintuitive. I did not expect my Ultra remote in the office to control the volume for the whole group.

Can you add an option to have local volume controls (knobs, buttons, paired remotes) control only that local device? I think having overall group volume control in the app is useful and would ask to keep that. Perhaps you can keep the existing behavior as default and add an option to have local controls control only the local unit's volume.
