Our family has been using Alexa/Echo since it’s beta trial about 3 years ago and we have about 6 units. So we had to get #sonosone. However, sonosone does not respond to Alexa commands as effectively as Echo. Either we have to get close to it or yell for it to respond.
The unit is sitting on kitchen counter where we had Echo previously. Looking for feedback on how to get our sonosone working as effectively as our old Echo.
Thank you

There's a pretty long thread around here about this issue in which Sonos has said that they're working on the issue.
