Sonos Move Alexa Not Playing Music.

Hello -- I have a Sonos Playbar and Sonos Ones in my apartment.

 

Just bought a Sonos Move for to use for the summer at a rental beach house.  I added Alexa in the Sonos app and the Move is showing up in the Alexa app on my phone.  Alexa can tell me the time, set a timer, tell me the weather, etc.

 

I can also play music from the Sonos App and access my iTunes/Pandora/Spotify/etc. 

 

When I ask Alexa to play [Artist] on [iTunes/Pandora/Spotify/etc.] she responds: “to do that, first enable the skill for your sonos move in your Alexa app, then ask me to discover devices.”  I have tried to follow these instructions, to no avail. 

 

Is it possible that Alexa cannot work on two different WiFi networks?

Hi

A Sonos account/system is wi-fi specific and hence location specific. So it is recommended that you have two separate accounts/systems, one for each location.

Now from a Sonos - Alexa integration viewpoint, the relationship between your Sonos and Amazon account must be a 1:1. So you would need to create two separate Amazon accounts, one for each location.
