Dance music started playing from Sonos last night when we were in bed, at full volume. Checked Alexa commands and it doesn't seem to be Alexa!

What can I do to prevent Sonos waking the family again!!

    Yes. But he was asleep in the other room!

    Well, next time it happens, submit a diagnostic and post the reference number here. Sonos can tell you what caused the play command to execute.

    jgatie is right though - there have been a large number of people that have complained about Sonos starting on their own and found it was their cat. I don't know what it is that draws them to Sonos units!

    My guess is the warmth of the top of the unit.

    Do you have a pet cat that could have hopped up on to something that controls the app and accidentally triggered it? Keyboard on a computer or something?

    Even just the buttons on top of a speaker can be triggered by a pet... and there's a white light there too to draw them towards it... then the music comes blasting through and they disappear from the scene of the crime! 🙂
