Hi all,

 

I have been digging into the forums here and on the web in general, and cant find a solution to this.  My Sonos One stopped responding to voice commands today.  I have tried all solutions that I could find, including deregistering & re-registering, unplugging,  rebooting my router, standing on my head while facing east…  well you get the idea.  Can anyone please help???

I really hope this isn’t some underhanded attempt to move us to s2 and force us to spend money

I highly doubt it.  There's far more effective ways of doing that than an outage on one of 3 voice control services.

At this point maybe they should increase all of our upgrade "discounts" from 30% to 75% as a recognition of the outage and inconvenience, and it gets us to S2...

 I had a response from Sonos customer care as I emailed the CEO. They assure me that they are working with Alexa to find a fix and that apparently this has also affected some S2 users. We will see. But the more of us that email them the better.

All. I was just about to write a note saying that Sonos should make it clear on their status page that their is a live issue they are dealing with. They do. Well done Sonos. I can now check back here to see what is going on.

I’m unclear if this problem was caused by the SONOS update alone ? Are S1 systems without the update OK ?  And the fact SONOS keep saying they are working with AMAZON/ALEXA implies ALEXA have changed something at the same time . Which seems to be the case if some S2 systems are also affected.

If this is the case , that’s maybe why it isn’t a simple matter of rolling back the SONOS s/w ?

Although ALEXA works OK on my BT Digital voice phone and other devices.
