Created Routine via Alexa but only part works. The ISY lights turn off (action) but the Alexa nevers syas the phrase I added to the routine. It does not show the SONOS One as a speaker and it does not allow me to choose a speaker (it is blank). It also it does not play the phrase from the speaker I speak to. The speaker does work fine otherwise. I can play music, news and weather reports, from it with no issues. Any ideas?

The Sonos One doesn't yet support Alexa Routines.

That is strange because the light turns off fine using the routine.

Sorry, perhaps I had too much Red Wine! I have Routines set up and can trigger them from my Sonos One :P

They work fine most times but sometimes the last action doesn't trigger but I think this is an Alexa issue.

Sorry for any confusion caused, they didn't initially support Routines but do now.

Hi,

I have exactly the same trouble! Alexa executes routines but when it comes to responding for example to announce my flash briefing or say good morning this is what occurs in the app?? (See attached pic)

Any ideas, it seemed to work before Christmas and now doesn’t... there was an update over Christmas did this cause the problem?

Everything else works fine!

That is the exact same issue I am having.

Is this on just the Sonos One or any other Echo device?

I would suggest as a first step to select Alexa App>Skills>Your Skills>Sonos then Disable and then Enable. Please retest.

Edit:

I haven't set-up any Phrase in a Routine, can you select the device that the Phrase is output on?

The Sonos One can initiate any of your Alexa Routines, however, Sonos devices can't at this time be included in the routine itself. That includes the Sonos One. For example, a Routine that turns on the lights and plays your Flash Briefing can be started via the Sonos One, the lights will turn on, but the briefing won't play.

I'll make sure the team knows you're interested in seeing Sonos includes in Alexa Routines in the future.

I utilize Smartthings for routines and gives a lot more flexibility then alexa routines.

Yes please! This would be an obvious feature to include.
