    Hi everyone, thanks for asking! We're hard at work building up the Alexa Skill for Sonos while adding to it. When Alexa support is enabled in a new location, it takes some dedicated engineering work and testing to bring support to Sonos. We are committed to bringing Alexa voice control to Sonos in Ireland but don't have a timeline that we're ready to share just yet. Stay tuned for more.

    All wireless Trevor. I've a standard Amazon & Sonos accounts based in Dublin myself. No vpns or smartdns, I'll double check my setup this evening........

    I've no location set on my Sonos account but that wouldn't stop the Alexa app from returning the search for the Sonos skill. Reading the reviews of the skill just there and many people are having issues with it.


    Ye I dont know what the story is. When the skill originally launched I had it working no problem, albeit with limited use as all Alexa would play was TuneIn. But I had issues just before Christmas where Alexa would say she was playing in Bedroom for example, but nothing was happening. I tried reinstalling the skill but when I went to do that it said the skill was not available in my location. Now it doesnt even show up in the search. Its not the end of the world but I was tempted to buy the Sonos One when they emailed me about it. Glad I didnt as it would be a waste of time here in Ireland at the moment.

    I managed to get everything linked yesterday sonos speakers and echo through Alexa app. The key is on amazon.co.uk you change your location to uk from Ireland under manage devices - settings. Once you do that you should be able to add sonos to your Alexa app. The Key is that you have to change location on a pc or laptop. Changing the location on your mobile or tablet won’t work. Still can’t play my amazon music thru sonos app directly but I can if I go through the Alexa app. I’ll change back once available proper in Ireland til then this works ok! 🙂

    Fair play! This has sorted it. I have no idea how my account ended up as Rep of Ireland as I use a UK address to order off amazon but that seems to have been the problem......

      Hey all, I have received an email this morning (18/6/18 @10am GMT) saying Alexa is now available on my Sonos One! Cannot find any further info online as I write this and can't check until I finish work but here's hoping!
