None of my Ones are working with Alexa today. They can stream using the Sonos app. Other Echo devices are working with Alexa. Anyone else having this?

      Same problem here. There will no doubt be lots of new alexa being set up so probably overoading this systems temporarily and will be back up and running soon. No biggy!

      How can that be the case. Would that not affect all devices connecting or would that would be specific to an area or region. Not specific to Sonos. I have just checked and all my web services are running OK. An internet search would have brought up many more instances rather than just some Sonos devices.
      Alexa ist part of AWS, also is the 'Sonos Cloud'.

      Hi

      There was an Amazon Alexa outage that affected most of Europe but should be resolved now. If you are still experiencing the problem, I suggest that you Disable then Enable the Sonos Skill in the Alexa App.

      If the problem persists please follow these steps:

      This may be down to duplicate IP Addresses. Can you please power down the following devices for 5 secs, allowing each to complete its boot cycle before proceeding to the next device:

      - Router
      - Any Network wired switch
      - Any wired Sonos devices
      - All other Sonos devices
      - All other attached network devices

      If this fixes the problem, I suggest you open the Settings page on your Router and reserve IP addresses for your Sonos devices - I personally use the range 192.168.0.240 and above for my Sonos devices.
      Remember: Sometimes Red Wine helps :)
