Yonomi Inconsistency

I am using Yonomi with Alexa to perform Sonos commands and I find it to be very inconsistent. For example, I have a Yonomi routine called “Jazz” that plays jazz radio on Pandora on Sonos. Half the time I say “Alexa, turn on jazz” and it works great. Then a second later I try it again and it doesn’t work. Doesn’t show a notification, doesn’t do anything. I even have an old iPhone running Yonomi in Guided Access and it’s still inconsistent. Any advice?

    It maybe worth mentioning here that Yonomi needs to be open and running on a device connected to the local network for its routines to be run via Alexa. Some people make the mistake of closing the app or switching off its 'running in background' processes, to then find their related Alexa instructions are not working. So make sure the App is running and that the mobile device is connected to the LAN... I would also advise turning off WiFi-Assist on an iOS device to ensure the device is using the local WiFi and not a 3G/4G connection.

    Got it! Yonomi made it clear that the app has to be running in the background for everything to work, i usually have it running both on my phone and ipad, i tried a few more command and so far so good!??Stay well!
