Siri says "I can't play that in the kitchen"

I picked up a Sonos One today after learning of the Airplay 2 support. Everything is working great with older speakers.

I'm trying to use Siri on my phone to launch music. It is setup in the Kitchen. However, after adding the new Sonos One to Homekit, and requesting music in the "kitchen" or "everywhere", Siri responds "Sorry, I couldn't play that in the kitchen"

I am running iOS 12 beta 3.

Not sure, but as a guess, I'd suggest it's the beta iOS that's the issue. Sonos doesn't support beta builds of other companies. I've also seen issues with beta issues of MacOS.

are you trying to play from Apple music, directly from your phone or from another streaming service? You probably know this, so apologies if you do, but siri won't open streaming from any 3rd party apps. Hopefully in ios 12 maybe?

Yeah, I'm using Apple music. I can launch apple music no problem on the device through Siri.
when I say "play x in the kitchen" (where I have the speaker bound in Home), I get that message "Sorry, I couldn't play that in the kitchen".

if i say "play x in the bedroom" (where I do not have a speaker set up), the response is "Sorry, I couldn't find a speaker in the bedroom".

So that leads me to understand that the speaker is being found in the kitchen, but Siri just won't play music for me there.

It very well could be a bug in ios12 beta 3.

I'm assuming this is working for other people.

Hi there! Exact same problem here with ios12 beta 3 and two sonos speakers added in the Home app. It says it can't start the music on the speaker....did you find a solution?
