Hello,
I wanted to start the skill with "Alexa, ask Sleep Sounds for thunderstorms" but plays nothing.

Does not that work on Sonos One?

As of now a lot of third party audio skills do not work. I was told there should be a fix in January, but, I am unsure just what affected skills will be fixed. Here is hoping its most / all of them.

I completey agree with the above. Bought today sonos one, my 6th sonos device. None of the skills work. Will be switching back to my google home. Very disapointing

I have two Sonos One. Want to get one or two more for the bedrooms. Want to replace the fan. This is a little known but sleep sounds/ ambient is an essential feature -- especially for bedroom usage. Jan 17 from Nick Schwab Founder, Invoked Apps LLC
"I feel your pain. To our surprise, Sonos launched their Alexa-enabled speakers without support for long-form audio playback Skills. We've been in touch with the Sonos team and they've assured us that they're working to add support for our Skills (and many others) by the end of Q1.Thanks for your patience as Sonos works to bring their software up-to-date and compatible with more Alexa Skills."

So Sonos... support long-form audio playback! Pleeease... Thanks

Some communication from Sonos would be nice on this. Sonos One is billed as a replacement for an Echo, but without support for key categories of skills, that's a straight up lie.

Without a firm commitment to supporting skills, we've been sold an incomplete product, and I'll likely return it if Sonos doesn't commit to a fix timeline.

Really could use these skills. We bought a One to put in our newborn's room (you know, with ALL that extra cash you have as new parents) specifically for the sleep aid skills and boom...a big fat silence erupts from the One.

I've read in other feeds that these skills work if one tells, say an Echo or a DOT to "play Thunderstorms in ", but if you ask the One to do it, you get an acknowledgement beep and nothing. What the...??

What's the deal Sonos? This thread has been on the go for 2 months now and no news here from you guys. Timeline please? At least acknowledge us with some response??

Same issue with the Sleep Sounds and nj101.5 skill. Both work fine on amazon DOT and ECHO but do not work on my SONOS ONE player. Will there be an update to address the problem?

Sonos Folks - Love your stuff, but would really like an ETA on this.

Bump. Just got myself a Sonos One to replace my Echo Dot + Bose speaker combo, but I desperately need audio apps. Help us Sonos, you’re our only hope.
