Question

Sonos one - Nest voice control

Has anyone had any luck in having Alexa access their Nest thermostat, or any other smart devices? I have the skills added and linked, but Alexa cannot find my nest thermostats, iHome smart plugs, or Arlo Pro cameras. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Nest thermostat and My Sonos One is able to increase/decrease the temp as well as tell me what the current temp is. Have you tried disabling & reenabling the skill? Does Alexa discover the thermostat?

I've had no issues controlling my Hue lights via Sonos One. I haven't yet decided on a smart thermostat yet.

Tomviv, yes, I have tried your suggestion. Maybe I will remove everything thing, and reset the sonos one as well.

For those that are successful controlling your hue lights and thermostat etc with a Sonos One, do you have other alexa devices? If so which ones? I am thinking the sonos will have an issue if say you don't have a echo plus or hub elsewhere in the home....just a guess. Thanks everyone

Sonos One controls my smarthome same as any Alexa device.

You have to have devices setup properly in alexa app.

I just walked into my bathroom and used Sonos One to turn off my bedroom tv (via harmony smartphone ability). Then I asked it to turn on my bedroom light (via hue ability) and asked it the downstairs temperature (via nest ability). All functioned without flaw.

My echo show is linked with my arlo and I can bring up cameras on the show. No real use with my arlo and the echo dots or Sonos One.
