I have a Sonos One and I am getting Alexa to talk to me but when it comes time to paying something from an App or from Spotify it says device is online. I have disabled all the relevant skills and reenabled them but nothing plays. Alexa talks to me and is responsive, tells me all about the app and the cost etc but then nothing actually plays and she says device is offline. I see it online when i play music from my Spotify app. Its just not working with Alexa. Help please

Thank you Simon B. Do i need to log out of Amazon on all my devices, TVs etc? That would be quite an undertaking. Or perhaps just my main computer?
OMG Simon it works! Whew I did that without having to log out of all TVs etc. Just on my iphone. THANK YOU for taking the time to help me.

I was able to get my Sonos One to work after doing the above steps using the Sonos app on my phone. However the Echo display will not control the music or speakers in my Sonos system. Do I need to follow the above steps on my wife’s phone also or do something to the Echo?
Hi
Let us know what you have in mind with the advice above.

I don’t think so. The Echo Display is under the wife’s Amazon account, Sonos is mine. I’m the music freak not her :)

Sorry if I am missing something but why / how would the display on an Echo device be able to control Sonos speakers?
John B. I’m referring to being able to control Sonos with my Echo with Alexa.
