Google Assistant is experiencing temporary issues today, the 20th of August '19. You may find that you are unable to initiate music playback. Upon trying, you will receive the following voice notification: ”I can’t do that here, but you can ask me to play it on one of your other devices”. You can view the status of any ongoing outages via our Status page.

We are currently investigating the issue and we will have it fixed as soon as possible.

We will update this thread once the outage is resolved. Many thanks for your patience and understanding!

Yup same here, noticed this yesterday!

i have to say this whole GA and Spotify integration has been so unreliable I’m actually thinking about switch to YouTube music.

Or is this the conspiracy google push you to their own service?

Hello, all. Many thanks for your patience in this matter. As Jeff confirmed last night (it was night time for me, anyway), the outage has now been resolved and service should have resumed as normal. If you do find that you are still having issues, do not hesitate to let us know. Many thanks.

It works fine again where I am here in Denmark at least - thanks. @Feng I do not share your experience. I have the whole house covered in Google Home minis and SONOS Ones and it hardly ever fails on my when I use GA to fetch music from Spotify. Sometimes 'she' thinks about my requests for up to 5 secs, but rarely fails to fetch the right track or playlist. Have you set up the GA Voice Match? - It did alot for me.

Restarting your router followed by all Sonos components may help.

I'm in Australia and still seem to be having this issue. I have a SONOS One and Google Play Music. I can play music via the SONOS app and Google Assistant is working for the weather etc, so everything seems correct. However, I cannot use Google Assistant to request music. I get a variety of responses such as "Sorry, I can't help with that", "Sorry I don't know how to help with that yet, but am always learning", "Sorry, I'm not sure how to help". I assume the problem is as described above but is not yet fully resolved.

Restarting your router followed by the ONE didn't help? Remove Google Assistant from the room settings in the Sonos app and go through the authorization process again.
