New to Sonos. Gone through searches on this subject. Tried many. I own 2 play ones. Located in kitchen and family room. Sound and play great with sonos app. Can use voice command with Alexa to play in both rooms and can manually switch each on and off with Sonos app. Unfortunately the devices are not discoverable in Alexa so I can’t voice command room choices.

Sonos One

Just to clarify; you have 2 Sonos Ones (With Alexa)? (Play:1's are the older kit without Alexa - confusing I know!)

A few things to check, please retest after each step:

1/ Have you Enabled the Sonos skill in the Alexa app, if not please do so? (If yes, please Disable then Re-enable)
2/ If you open the Alexa App>Settings are your Sonos One's shown as 'On-Line'? (If not select the Off Line device and the option to switch to 'On-Line' should be available.)
3/ If problem persists please follow the steps I've listed in the answer to this post: https://en.community.sonos.com/amazon-alexa-and-sonos-229102/sonos-one-not-responding-to-alexa-comands-6793239

Yes sonos ones with Alexa and have enabled and disabled the Alexa app a few times. I open the Alexa App and the sonos ones don’t even show up. I’ll now go look at your thread. Thx
