Amazon Alexa and Sonos

Hi - I was very excited to hear about Sonos and Amazon integrating so I updated the Sonos app on my Samsung S7, then went into Alexa. Downloaded the skill and went into "enable", signed into the Sonos account, gave it access permission, signed in to Sonos on Amazon...and then it sends me back to the initial "link account" screen and I'm back to square one. Alexa's smart device search finds no smart devices, certainly no speakers. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong? Or is it an Android thing? I believe this should work with any Sonos speakers, mine are about a year old, will this make a difference? Thanks.

I mistakenly entered my wife's Amazon Alexa account in Sonos and want to change it to my account. I have tried for a couple hours to figure out how to delete the Amazon Alexa account in SONOS but I am still stuck. Please help!

Does my Sonos One have the drop in feature that my Echo Dot has? Can't seem to find it, yet its readily visible for the dot

Very disappointed so far, will only play one song from an album with amazon music when you ask through Alexa, then other times there is no playback at all, even if it states it is playing

After successful setup, I would like to play a song on the Sonos device in kitchen by e.g. Madonna: Me: 'Alexa, play madonna in the kitchen' Alexa: 'I can't find any songs by Madonna' But there are off course songs by Madonna on Spotify. It works by asking: Me: 'Alexa, play madonna' Playing starts through Echo Dot What is wrong? Any advice? It looks like Alexa is looking in a different database/ music subscription if I ask Alexa to play through Sonos?

Anyone else noticed that Alexa on the Sonos One responds to Blake’s 7 as well as Alexa? Very cool.....

I have an Amazon Echo and Sonos One in the same house. When I speak to the Sonos, for example play something on Pandora, it plays on the Echo even with the Echo way on the other side of the house with the mic disabled,

I currently own two Sonos 5 speakers and use an Amazon Echo Show to stream Amazon Music Unlimited via either or both speakers. No problems there. I'd like to add two smaller Sonos 1 speakers (with the built-in Amazon Echo functionality) to other rooms of my home. I think I'd prefer the Sonos 1s (rather than the Sonos 1 Play) so I can use voice commands at a distance from my Echo Show. But I'm open to suggestions (i.e. Is there a reason why I should I just get Sonos 1 Play speakers). If anyone has added Sonos 1s to an existing Alexa-driven system, what are the implications with regard to the Amazon Unlimited Subscription? Will I have to upgrade to the more expensive family plan to use what are essentially multiple Echo devices to stream Amazon Music? Or if I am only streaming Amazon Music via a single device at a time will I be OK with my current plan (just the simple non-family Unlimited Plan)?

Hi, I set up my bedroom Play1 tonight with an Echo Dot and followed all the directions. Currently, if I ask Alexa to play something specific, Sonos just kicks on and plays the current queue. If I clear the queue and try again, Alexa tells me that the Bedroom is not responding. I have also set up Amazon Music as the default service in Alexa and added it to my Sonos account. Am I missing something?

Just set up my sonos one, put in amazon prime details etc. Now when I browse music and select a track (that I know is available on prime) it asks if I want to upgrade to music unlimited and won’t play the tract. Have I done something wrong??

I have just bought a sonos one - When I want alexa to control that device - It references it as the Sonos - Kitchen - i want the device to be found as just Kitchen - is this possible? Finally I had a Sonos Play 1 in the kitchen and the Alexa doesn't forget that - Is there anyway to deregister that device so Alexa doesn't see it or try and find that? Ideally i want to just say Alex play music in my kitchen (through Sonos one) instead of Alexa play music in my Sonos Kitchen. I think this naming convention occurs because I had a device called Kitchen previously when I cannot forget in the Alexa app Any Help would be appreciated

I have one Sonos One working just fine with Alexa. I added another Sonos One and it plays fine but Alexa does not respond at all. I have no other Alexa devices and no devices have the same same (they are all named by the Sonos APP anyway). I have diasble the skill, forgot devices, renabled skill and re discoverd devices, but the second SonosOne still does not work??

This looks and sounds OK, but it simply does NOT work like a polished, finished product. My Sonos One arrived today, and it reacts like it is several versions behind the Amazon devices I have. Room recognition is buggy; then I started to come across issues like Flash Briefings do not play; I cannot rename it from Alexa (all my other Alexa devices respond to "Computer"), some announcements cut out halfway through, I cannot make/receive calls or Drop Ins - it says "calling with Alexa is..." (and cuts out), cannot play Apple Music, etc. It seems half finished. The I read this (https://en.community.sonos.com/amazon-alexa-and-sonos-229102/alexa-and-flash-briefing-6792528) - - "There are some features that are only going to be on Amazon Echo devices for now" :@ My Playbar, Sub, Play 1s, 3 and 5s work seamlessly, and did out of the box. This is the standard I expect - Sonos products are premium devices. As it stands, a Dot attached

The majority of the advertising for the new Sonos with Alexa integration revolves around being able to tell Alexa to play music in the kitchen, the bedroom, everywhere, etc. but it seems that the Sonos app is overriding Alexa. It will say "Playing Ben Folds on Living Room" but then nothing happens. Is there a way to set this up differently? Am I doing something wrong? All of my devices are recognized within the Alexa app and the Sonos app.

I've followed all the instructions to connect Sonos to my Alexa. However, no matter what I ask Alexa to play she just plays the last song I played which is annoying and pointless. If I say "Alexa, play Take That in the Lounge" - Echo Dot says ok but just plays the last song I had played on my Sonos. Any ideas?

Email received today with promotional offer on Echo dot for existing Sonos customers. However, this does not seem to be valid for customers in the UK. Is there another code to use? or is this offer exclusively for Sonos customers in the US?

I have installed the Sonos 1 - when comunicating with the Sonos 1 from the Alexa App I get a "oops something went wrong message" - I assume this is why after changing the region and time settings in the app this is not updating the Sonos 1 - If I ask Alexa the time it is 8 hours out. Anyone know how to resolve this. Everthing else appears to work - I can select music on the app and it commuicates directly with the Sonos 1 and plays the request. (Obviously you wouldnt normally do this, that's the point of Alexa (voice control) but just wanted to prove the app was talking to the speaker in some form, even though it will not update the time and region settings. Hope someone has a solution.

HI all.. New to the forum and was wondering if anybody knows if i connect a bluetooth music device to the sonos one and use alexa to stream it to that device ? In brief, my sound system in the lounge is bluetooth, the sonos one is in the kitchen, so id like to be able to say to alexa "play this track in the lounge" and then it stream to the bluetooth device in the lounge.. Thanks all

Hi there! So I'm thinking about getting a 2nd Sonos One to create a stereo pair. And of course configure Alexa integration. Can someone comment on what happens with the Alexa integration with respect to how the microphones will work in that situation? Would the microphone and voice playback take precedence on one speaker? Or would the microphone need to be disabled on one of the speakers?

New sonos 1 available in mexico When????

My new Sonos 1 insists on working 7 hours behind UK time - I have updated the app on phone to use UK GMT/set time for internet and timing shows was local time on iPhone but One/Alexa has USA time. How do I get Sonos 1 Alexa on local time?

Will we be able to play music through the Sonos One and my existing Play 1's and Playbar I have seen a review somewhere saying they canno be paired

First of all, I love the new Alexa skills for SONOS. What I would like to have is the ability for SONOS to output 100% of Alexa's output; not just music. My SONOS setup includes a playbar, 2 one's and a sub. For example, if I say, "Hey Alexa, what time is it?", I'd like her response to come through SONOS system and not her speaker. Any suggestions?

Seems Sonos/ Alexa integration is just in the corner..... https://www.cnet.com/news/sonos-lays-out-terms-for-voice-control-ahead-of-alexa-skill/
