My daughter’s name is Alexa. Same problem here. I have to turn off the microphone which is why I purchased voice activated to begin with. I wish this was more prominently displayed on Sonos page before purchase. I generally researched the wake word could be changed on an alexa device (such as an Echo) but didn’t think to validate this would not hold true on a sonos alexa-enabled device.

Sonos page indicating you cannot change the wake work on a Sonos speaker. I did not see this before purchasing and must have researched changing the wake word on a regular Amazon Alexa type device (such as an Echo): https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3517?language=en_US&utm_medium=sonosone-setup&utm_source=cr-care&utm_content=english-cr-care-sonosone-setup

What commands can I use with Sonos?
