Amazon Alexa and Sonos

hi. i am using sonos one. is there a way to play radio (from tunein) and turn on hue lights...in one-single alexa voice command ? every morning, i will turn on my radio and switch on my kitchen lighting. by doing these, i need to tell alexa to 1) alexa switch on my kitchen lights. 2) alexa play radio. is there a lazier method to link both commands up? haha. i understand that i cant add sonos one audio to "routine"...

I can turn it on and adjust the volume, but can’t turn it off. Everything else works great! There are no options for additional CEC control for the TV.

Amazon recently released the ability to create custom Alexa skills through https://blueprints.amazon.com/ . When I try them on my Sonos One, Alexa says "Audio actions are currently not supported on this device." This may be something that requires a Sonos firmware update to enable. Anybody else experiencing this?

Why is there no way to change the volume of Alexa independent of the music volume. At the moment it’s stupidly loud and if you’re using it in your bedroom at night, when it’s quiet, Alexa is just far too loud when there’s absolutely no reason for it to be. At the moment the Alexa set up is pretty poor. Yes, you’re adding to it and tweaking things all of the time but a lot of the issues should have been resolved before you started selling the units. Not overly impressed after buying two of the Sonos Ones the other day to replace my Echo units.

I bought Sonos one a week ago. I enabled some Alexa skills like Spa Music, Zen Sounds, Ambient Music, Meditation Music. None of the skills work. Alexa replies "I am unable to access the skill Zen sounds" or something similar. Do you know when these features will be supported in Sonos One?

Recently bought two Sonos Ones and set them up fine with Alexa working. One of them has now changed to English (US) and the other has remained as UK. Both are set as wake up word as English (UK) but One is not recognise commands. Any ideas of how to fix?

Hello, I recently purchased a few Sonos Ones (first time Sonos user). I have been playing around with the Alexa integration and I find it pretty useful.... and so have our little kids. The kids love nothing more than shouting at Alexa first thing in the morning and getting random music to play at full volume. Same can happen when we are listening to something they find it hilarious to change the music / talk to Alexa. All of which leads me to the topic title... From what I can see there appears to be no way to temporarily disable voice control; - Turning the microphone off using the button on the speaker isn't helpful (in this scenario) because it can simply be touched to be re-enabled again - The microphone button on the speaker is not disabled when I have turned off the touch control buttons in the app (which I find a bit weird given there is almost no point in turning the touch controls off if anyone can simply override everything with Alexa). - I have tried seeing if I

Ive bought a beam and i want to use Alexa on it. Changed the acount ftom Netherlands country to USA and to english(on the sonos.com/account) but my app stays in Dutch and in the app it says still not available. I also have downloaded the alexa app. Anyone have a step by step howto?

I just added a sonos one and sound bar to my home environment, but I can’t seem to group them with my existing echos such that they all play the same music simultaneously. Is there a fix for this or just not part of the compatibility?

so i got sonos one all set up and alexa was plying music and now when you tell her to play a song she aknowleges the song and says shes playing it but it never plays. any ideas..

Hi, How do you stop Alexa dipping the sound in other rooms? If I'm in the living room listening to music and someone in the kitchen asks Alexa a question, it makes the volume dip in the living room.

I have removed the Alexa and Amazon App an re-isntalled it with the account/email asscoiated with the Sonos account. When I attempt to add voice services to the newly added Sonos One it ALWAYS associates the wrong email/account when linking to Sonos. As a result, the proper physical location is never associated with the speaker, not can it be setup properly in Alexa (never saves). I have followed the guidance on factory resetting and I am still in the same place. Very disappointed in how buggy this software is since I bought the One and it won't associate with the proper account or properly play back music from TuneIn or Amazon (no play back). Voice control is crucial and this is just a boat anchor at this point. Any guidance I can get besides the exisitng articles you guys have already published?

Hi! Is it possible to get Alexa to Sonos Beam in Sweden? If yes, how can I install it?

Is the Sonos One supposed to be able to set reminders? The Echo can. Alexa told me it cannot set a reminder on this device.

So on Dec 17th Apple Music will be available on Amazon Echo devices. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/baig/2018/11/30/alexa-welcomes-apple-music-amazon-echo/2151574002/ The question is; does this make Apple Music immediately available to those of us who use an Echo connected to Sonos. On Dec 17th will I be able to ask my Echo to play apple music on my Sonos ? Or will Sonos also need to "do something" to make this work ?

Hi, Good to know Alexa routines can now interact with preferred speakers in sonos groups, great work Sonos. However rather than using Music in the Alexa routine to play music via Sonos I’d like to control the volume (and other things) - however Sonos isn’t available as a device in Alexa routines, is this being planned? For now I’ve got a Yonomi routine which Alexa can call in its routine (via the Yonomi scene) however as Yonomi Sonos integration requires a local device running the Yonomi app it’s a bit flakey. Any suggestions on how to make this work better? Stringify doesn’t work in the UK to do this, and I don’t think IFTTT can be triggered from an Alexa routine? Thanks!

No matter what I do to install Alexa, Play 1 will not show online. It is not discoverable. I disconnected my Sonos account from Alexa and then rejoined it to see if that solution would work. Not. But it is showing in my devices. Ran diagnostic 1764600812 Pics attached.

After almost a year of being in the Sonos ecosystem without MRM support I finally stumbled across this: https://developer.amazon.com/blogs/alexa/post/a9acaabd-d5a0-4fdf-b74a-c20cfe4d4ef9/deliver-whole-home-audio-with-alexa-multi-room-music-and-device-targeting While this post makes the blame sharing between amazon and Sonos relatively equal, at the end of the day, after purchasing the Alexa ‘flagship’ models, it’s been quite the long slog. So! In the interest of putting all of that behind us, the question is raised of when MRM will be supported?

Alexa in Malaysia

Recently the volume on my Sonos One is very low and will not adjust. The only way I can get the volume to work correctly is to unplug unit and plug it back in. I have had the unit for almost a year with no issues--this started a couple weeks ago.

I have a new Sonos One that I am adding to home with 2 Echo devices. In the Alexa app I am trying to setup an Audio Group for multi-room music. However, the Sonos One does not show up as an available Echo device to add to the group. What is the trick for getting this to work? Thanks.

Trying out the alexa app with an echo Dot today. Is there, or will there ever be a way to simply have all Echo audio playing through my Sonos speaker? At the moment you have to specifically tell Alexa the speaker to use, i.e. Alexa play the Beatles on *speaker name*. I would prefer if I could have all audio by default going through my sonos, without having to state the room on every command. Maybe I am missing an obvious setting for this?

hi all i'm trying to add a Sonos One to my existing system, for 2 reasons: 1) first and foremost, to add a device that is compatible with alexa (all my other existing devices are not), and 2) to add an additional speaker to my system (why not?). The problem is that when i added the sonos one and tried to add it to an existing room, all other rooms other than the one i wanted to add it to appeared as choices. The existing room (my living room) has two existing play 3s (paired together i think), a subwoofer and a playbar. does any of this preclude me adding the new speaker alongside these devices? (and is therefore a reason why this room did not appear?). i know that i can group rooms so the advice of 'just call it x and then group it with your living room' is (partly) valid. But this workaround causes some additional problems - for example, when i use alexa to play a song in the living room, i then have to manually group it with the room the sonos one has been allocated to each

Its been over 7 months where people have been asking for a fix. How about not ducking sonos players that arent in the same room as the alexa being asked? Is it really that hard that you guys can't do an IF THEN code in the software? The solution of telling people to disable the skill is the same thing as saying yeah go buy a different speaker other than sonos. PLEASE FIX THIS!

If your Sonos speakers are not currently in a group, and you initiate a song/playlist on one speaker thru Alexa, and want to add another Sonos speaker, how do you do it? I want to stream the same music to all my Sonos devices even if I add them "on-line" one by one. (I know you can do this if you group them ahead of time in the Sonos app, but.....)
