Question

Alexa Routine - Volume/Pausing

It seems that the Alexa routines do not support the Sonos yet. Can you add the skill to allows routines to change the volume for a sonos device and pause. Would need both capabilities to allow the TV volume to lowered since pausing does nothing for the playbar.

    You currently can’t add sonos to a routine directly in the Alexa app, but if you happen to have lutron Caseta light switches with the lutron app you can add sonos to a scene in that app. Scenes created in the lutron app can be added to Alexa routines. For example, I have a routine in the Alexa app for arriving home which triggers a scene from lutron that turns my lights on and starts a playlist on my sonos one. I also have routine when I leave that turns my lights off and pauses my sonos one.

    I use Alexa routines in the morning to turn on my lights and coffee maker and when I leave home to turn off everything. I would really like to add Sonos to this: In the morning put my zones in specific groups, adjust the volume and play my favorite radio station. When I leave I would like to be able to pause all Sonos speakers. Would be great if support for Alexa routines would be added soon.
