Question
Sonos One is Buggy and Beta - not a good experience
This looks and sounds OK, but it simply does NOT work like a polished, finished product.
My Sonos One arrived today, and it reacts like it is several versions behind the Amazon devices I have. Room recognition is buggy; then I started to come across issues like Flash Briefings do not play; I cannot rename it from Alexa (all my other Alexa devices respond to "Computer"), some announcements cut out halfway through, I cannot make/receive calls or Drop Ins - it says "calling with Alexa is..." (and cuts out), cannot play Apple Music, etc. It seems half finished.
The I read this (https://en.community.sonos.com/amazon-alexa-and-sonos-229102/alexa-and-flash-briefing-6792528) - -
"There are some features that are only going to be on Amazon Echo devices for now" :@
My Playbar, Sub, Play 1s, 3 and 5s work seamlessly, and did out of the box. This is the standard I expect - Sonos products are premium devices. As it stands, a Dot attached to a Play:5 works better than a One, which is a REALLY bad look for Sonos (considering Amazon audio solutions are getting better and better, and now do a "version" of whole home audio).
What is going on to make it easier to control Sonos from an Amazon device, than Sonos's own integrated version?
Will these issues be resolved, or should I send it back?
