My Speaker skill to control Sonos via Alexa

I just installed the skill set called MySpeaker and it works pretty well controlling my Sonos System. Anyone else using it ?

      Thank you Flybigrc! Glad to see you are pleased with it. I'm just sorry I didn't do this sooner (ie last year), I had no idea Sonos would take so long on their version.

      You search for it in the Alexa skills area.

      It works great. However I never got the genre selection to work with Spotify. If I want it to play rock or country nothing happens or it finds a song with those word in the title.

      Looking forward to trying this out. So this is a server and must be running on a PC at all times?

      Thanks for the Tip! Easy to set up and worked right away. The need of having the windows PC run is a downside. A Synology package would be great. Or a windows phone app (for those still having one of those). Well, I'll continue learning how to pronounce danish room names in English 😃

        My settings are US. But make sure you are searching for "My speaker" (with a space), first.

        Sorry, it is only available for US Amazon accounts, and the Alexa infrastructure lacks the required music features in the UK.
