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 can disable the device from within the Alexa iOS app, but this didn't appear to do anything.
- Whilst I could of course remove the Alexa integration on the speaker(s), this is a very cumbersome process if I'd be doing this a number of times a day
Is there anything I'm missing? If not can I request Sonos consider having an additional toggle in the Sonos app to manage the microphone?
Many thanks in advance.
