Sonos One Spotify Update

Will there be any other Sonos One updates with the Spotify release on December 21st? Or will it be strictly focused on Spotify? Just curious if any other new Alexa functions will be added.

    New functions can be added all the time, and since Alexa is cloud-based, it doesn't always require an update on your end.

    Spotify was ready early, and we've just announced that Spotify for Alexa on Sonos is now ready to go and currently available.

    We'll keep on adding to and improving Alexa on Sonos, so make sure you give a shout out if there's a particular feature you'd like to see added one day.

    Thanks. Are you able to use the Spotify app to play to your Sonos player? Can you test out the Spotify Connect there real quick?

    If that doesn't work, can you reboot the router, and try again?

    Hey guys, here is my experience until now with a Playbar and an Echo Dot:

    I can now successfully launch playlists, songs and artists from Alexa. Awesome!

    The thing that I found weird is this, previously when I put some music to play on my Playbar from Spotify (thru the app), I could just say "Alexa, next/previous song" or "Alexa, pause/resume" and it did the action on my Playbar.

    After this last update, I need to add the speaker name to the actions otherwise Alexa would not pause/resume/next/previous/volume up/volume down. I have to say "Alexa pause Living Room" and etc...

    Is this intented? Do someone else found this out too?

    Thanks and keep up the updates.. I love my Playbar and hope I can expand my system.

    Despite my misgivings about voice control, I have to admit that it works better than I expected!

    One point: when I ask 'What's playing on Sonos?' back comes the answer 'XXX s playing on Sonos'. If I pause the stream and then ask, back comes the SAME answer - something like 'XXX is paused on SONOS' would be better, especially when the speaker and Alexa are in different rooms.

    Possible?

    Not possible. Alexa is not really querying the real-time state of the Sonos device. Sonos merely pushes the tags of the track to the cloud when a track change occurs. You can see this by playing a track, disconnecting the internet, then reconnect after a track change and ask what is playing. Alexa will answer with the track that was playing before the internet was disconnected.
