Just got a Sonos One from UK but app says Voice Services not yet available in India; also Alexa added Sonos skill but unable to detect device. Is there a timeline when Sonos likely to enable voice for India?

As of last evening, the Sonos skill isn't added, where do you see it in the app?

On the Alexa app I followed the path to skills and searched for Sonos One and the skill got added straight away - sadly cant detect device post that.
Thanks - seems like there re others in similar situation of Alexa-Sonos integration. Was considering using a Dot to integrate but seems like that too has challenges from what I see.
Hoping for solution from Sonos & Amazon soon

That is strange; I can find no such skill in my Alexa app downloaded from the Indian Google Play store.
But regardless, we have to wait for our turn.

I added a Sonoff skill to my Sonos One - it worked fine. I tried to set up music - it failed. I asked Amazon support to change my location to India. I added Saavn. Now no Indian skill works because it says "language error".

Hi All,

I brought a Sonos One from the US for use in India. Shall I return it....I understand from this thread that the product doesn't work in India and there is no plans to support it in 2018.

Got play 5 from US, till now no skill launched in India, neither amazon music is listed in sonos, so got prime membership for alexa and saavn for sonos, thought to have best of two worlds but landed in 4 worlds.

Don't expect positive outcome from them any sooner. They are incompetent and jumped into voice wagon just to trick people and make money. I was under assumption that they will be able to implement one country per. But the sheer incompetence underestimated.

Looks like now their plan is to implement one House per month.

Got from US hence unable to sell it or return it, meanwhile they are walking to the bank all the way laughing.

I have Sonos 5 from USA. I have echo dot plugged in through auxiliary. Now you use echo dot as wireless speaker and order your music, but pass output to Sonos through aux. It just works fine.

Yes, that is correct; the problem is most people have the Sonos One or the Play 1 that do not have the necessary jacks for this excellent solution.

I have a SONOS One as well and it does not work in India. Alexa can not find SONOS skill. I have written to Amazon and Sonos support multiple times and they just play the blame game and accuse each other of not enabling the skill.

I'd suggest everyone to write to both Sonos and Amazon and demand that the skill is enabled.
