Sonos and Alexa Routines.

I am pleased to see the Alexa integration now supporting routines on Sonos devices. I have an Alexa “Good Morning” routine that plays my Flash News Briefing and when complete turns on the Radio and Lights in the Bathroom. If this routine is triggered on an Echo Dot it works well, if the routine is triggered on the Sonos device it plays the Flash News Briefing but does not turn on the Radio or the Lights. When the Sonos device plays the Flash News Briefing I never get the “this completes your Flash News Briefing” message that I get from the Echo device.

Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions… spent way too much time on this already :)

Hi @csmckay1972, Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the community. Sorry to know about what’s happening with the Alexa on Sonos routines in your system. I want to ask if This started happening after Alexa is now supporting routines on Sonos devices or does it happen before that update? Does it happen on all of your devices or just some? I’ll ask you to submit a diagnostic report to investigate further what could be causing this issue.

Thanks for the response Simon… this only started happening after Alexa is now supporting routines on Sonos devices. The issue only happens when I play the Flash News Briefing on my Sonos device.
