Do Alexa Routines work through Sonos One?

I’m experiencing the same issue.

Agreed

No it appears yet another feature of Alexa does not work with the sonos one.

Yes, I've got a routine to work on a Sonos One. It didn't work at first because I'd called it Good night, one of the names suggested by the Alexa app. When I changed it to Night night it worked. Maybe try changing the name of the routine.

Master T, I am totally ok being an early adopter. We all love Sonos products, and bought this to integrate Alexa capabilities into our favourite audio. My question is, is Amazon/Sonos planning on bringing One up to parity with Amazon Alexa devices, or is the plan to always have it as an "audio-focused" version of Alexa, without a lot of features that make Alexa great?

In essence, I am wondering whether I should keep the One, or buy Play 5s and a few Echo dots instead...

If you browse support on Amazon for the various Alexa features, you will note that some (like Alexa Routines) are said to be available on both Amazon hardware and 'Alexa-Enabled Devices,' while some features (like drop-in calling) currently reference only Amazon hardware. My expectation is that Sonos will work towards enabling all relevant features that Amazon will allow them enable, but I don't think the Sonos One can or ever will achieve 100% parity. And one can only guess at Sonos' priorities in terms of which features will be added first based on their comments posted in this forum.

Thanks all. I can live without Routines for now. I would really like Sonos to support the Alexa Groups feature though. I purchased a DOT for one room with a Sonos:5, and have found it a pain that I always have to reference "in kitchen" to get things to play through the Sonos Speaker. What I would prefer is that the DOT never makes sound and it always talks through the Sonos:5 in the Kitchen only.

You also cannot, as yet, add a Sonos One as an 'Alexa-Enabled Device' to an Alexa group either, but that feature was only added to the app a few days ago. Based on the comments sprinkled throughout the forum, I believe we can expect most of these features to become available over time, but being an early adopter sometimes requires as extra dose of patience.

It looks as if currently, only Echos are enabled to be added to groups, even though the title says Alexa-Enabled. Fire TVs, Fire Tablets, nor my phone are available to add to groups.

That was exactly my point. It's a very new feature that appears to be intended to support a variety of 'Alexa-enabled devices' like the Sonos One. But even for such features, I think we can expect delays between Amazon's implementation and the feature becoming available on the One.
