Google Assistant drops from Sonos One

Every couple months, I find Google Assistant is no longer working on my Sonos One pair. The fix is simple enough, but it’s definitely annoying. 
 

To fix, I have to first remove Google Assistant from the Sonos app then re-add it. 
 

This is a bug that should get fixed.

Thank you for your reply. Actually, I did have a phone call with support about this issue a few months ago. Along with their help, I reinstalled the system from scratch and got Google Assistant working again. Next time it dropped, I took the simpler route of simply uninstalling Google Assistant, then re-added it. It works for a couple of months and then I need to go through the same process again. I don’t know if it’s a bug in the speaker or if others have experienced the same issue.

Hi @MakyoM, thank you for your immediate response and for updating us. I see that this is not the first time that you will be reporting this concern to our phone support team.

Update on this issue. I recently had the Sonos system stop responding through Google Assistant. At this point I’m used to the procedure: remove Google assistant in the Sonos app, close the app, reopen the app, add Google assistant. Then everything works fine for a while. If that’s my only problem, I can deal with it just fine.
