Reminders?

Is the Sonos One supposed to be able to set reminders? The Echo can. Alexa told me it cannot set a reminder on this device.

Nope you can't. One of many limitations.

The Sonos One isn’t an Echo. If you’re controlling your Sonos One through an Echo set your reminder on the Echo.

Has Sonos announced any plans to bring Alexa Reminders support to the Sonos One speaker? Thanks! Any info shared for when this feature may arrive is helpful!

One neat trick you can do is set an alarm or reminder on a Dot that is hard wired to a Sonos Play5 or Connect Amp and then group that Sonos player with all of your other Sonos players. When the alarm or reminder sounds you will be able to hear it anywhere you are in the house... something Alexa can't currently do on her own even with grouped Echos.

Hi @sonos do you have plans to incorporate reminders to the One. Seems like a cop out to not to have that feature.

Remember, it's entirely possible that the restriction is imposed by Amazon, so that they can differentiate between their own hardware, and Alexa-enabled devices.

I don't know that for certain about this feature, but I wouldn't automatically assume it's an issue with Sonos. Things get sticky when you start dealing with two companies and feature sets.

Amazon may be the one to set restrictions. The problem, especially for new consumers, is the difference between Alexa enabled and the actual Echo products. Neither Amazon nor Sonos has done enough to explain this difference.

Have to say, I'm really disappointed with the features on the Sonos One. Not being able to do something as basic as setting reminders is shocking considering the cost.
It should be made clear to buyers that Sonos One is a wifi based speaker that doesn't support bluetooth and has some limited Alexa capability.
