Google Assistant and Sonos

Some more background I am using youtube premium account and I use the same account on a harmon cardon citation device with google assistant and my personal phone. Youtube premium support up to 10 devices and so I configured google assistant on the sonos move.  harmon cardon citation device is about 20 feet away from the sonos move and separated by 10 walls. The point being there is no interference. I ask the same questions to google on sonos move and it doesn't know the answers! however the harmon cardon citation device can *google* and get me the answers!  Even small things like “play instrumental jazz music” does not work on sonos move. The error I get back from sonos is “Sorry I can’t find what you asked for”  “Play soft rock music on youtube music” the response I get back from sonos is “Sorry I can’t find what you asked for”  All of this does work on the harmon kardon citation devices!! This is ming boggling to me I verified my youtube account credentials on the app, ensured google

Hej!Har en Google Home mini och diverse Sonos. Jag försöker lägga till Google assistant i Sonos appen men går ej. Jag gör följande : Sonos appen Inställningar → Tjänster → Röst / Lägg till tjänst Google Assistant → lägg till Google assistant  “Ett ögonblick  Det kan ta några minuter."“Google Assistant är redo att användas med Sonos" Men tjänsten dyker aldrig upp i sonos appen under Tjänster / Röst.  Jag kan lägga till Sonos inne från Google assistant /Google Home. Så jag får upp rummen etc. Kan styra Spotify från Google home mini och streama till Sonos.Men kan inte styra Sonos native från Google home mini och tjänsten dyker alltså inte upp under tjänster i Sonos appen. Någon som vet vad som är fel? Tack på förhand!//Fredrik    

I have brought a Sonos One in order to substitute my other smart speaker. After I have installed successfully the device with the Google assistant I have found out that the speaker does not respond to most of the commands    I have checked under my Google Assistant activity and I saw that most of the commands are not understand and are logged as Unknown voice command Is this a known issue? Is this something Sonos is workings on?      

I have a new Sonos One running Google Assistant. Every time I want to play Spotify or any other service I have in the Sonos app, I have to go into the Google Home app, select the Sonos and “reconnect account”. Ok Google commands work without doing this, answers questions, turns lights on and off etc. It’s just playing music or any other service that is in the Sonos app that I need to do this. How do I make the Sonos app stay connected in the Google app? 

I have a variety of Sonos groups set up in the Sonos platform. I can use the Google assistant to control the music in any one room but I’m looking for a way to use Google assistant to control more than one room at a time via the Sonos groups.If you figured out a way to do this, I’d love to hear.

Hi, my wife bought me a set of Sonos Ones to integrate with our Google Home environment to replace some of their speakers with something with better quality. I’m trying to use them in a multiroom setup and placed one in the Living Room and one in the Den (used the room names from Sonos).When I installed Google Assistant it works fine on one, but the other one just says “Sorry, there was a glitch” EVERY SINGLE TIME I TALK TO IT.I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the assistant, assigning the speakers to my wife’s google account, deleting and readding the speaker multiple times, and a bunch of other stuff.Can someone help? This is INFURIATING why a $30 speaker works flawlessly and my $400 set of speakers with advertised Google compatibility flat out doesn’t. 

Until 2 days ago I did not experience this problem. When I ask Google Assistant to play something on Spotify I first get a conformation it will play it. Followed directly by a message that it cannot play because my Spotify Premium account is not configured correctly. It’s not ‘same same’ in the Sonos app as it in in Assistant according to the error message.The thing is… it is as far as I know. On Sonos we have 4 accounts (mine, wife, kids), the last one used is mine. And on Assistant it is mine.I’ve disconnected and reconnected Assistant, Spotify on the Assistant and Spotify on Sonos. But I keep getting this message.I can still voice control the playlist I put on manually with the app. It will pause and resume the music for example.I saw an older topic also mention this, but that it just ‘fixed itself’.

Hi - Facing some clunky command issues with Google Assistant.I have a Beam in the living room and a One in my bedroom, both are set up with Google Assistant. Both devices are also set up with Google Home for simple automation.When directly saying a command to the devices i.e. “Hey Google, I’m home”….they will respond with “Welcome home” and proceed to broadcast the message on the other device “Broadcasting a message, I’m home”.  However, from the Google assistant app on iphone, the broadcasted message will be “Welcome home Alvo” and the other device will broadcast “Chime sound and then Alvo has arrived" I have 3 devices (Fan, TV and Beam) set up in Living Room, it used to work when I say “Turn Off Living Room” i.e. all 3 devices are turned off. Recently the command does not work anymore, I will get the error message “Sorry i'm not sure which living room you'll like to turn off”Questions: For point (1) why the inconsistency? For point 2) How do I get it to turn off the devices in Living

Allow assignment of another device(Sonos one) in the Arc HT setup to be a Google assistant.The arc is located in the living room.Most of the time, I need to use the Google assistant in my Sonos one which were configured as surround in the HT setup.Pls assist with feature upgrade to support assigning a diff speaker for Google assistant.Thx.

Hi. My new Sonos Move will not connect to Google assistant. I use S2 and have iOS 14.3. Can someone please support to resolve the issue. Thank you so much. Br,Ravi

I have a Symfonisk from Ikea, i read that it supports google assistant. I was under the impression that it basically was a google home device, but starting to realize that’s not the case and you still need a google another device with google assistant/home to be able to control it with voice. First i thought that’s kind of misleading, because that’s not how i interpret anything that says it supports google assistant to work. Now what i can’t figure out is after i add the google assistant in the app, i don’t see google assistant in that section of the app, although below it i see my spotify which i added in the music services. It just has the + add a voice assistant there. However, i do see the device in my google home app. Is this normal?   

will start playing music fine with google assiatant but then will not reapond to anynother commands ie stop, skip  volune up whats goung on 

When i ask my Sonos to Play music in the room it works fine. But when i ask IT to play in a different room it says that the room/speaker is not available.What to do?

Hi’ I seem to be having an issue to get my sono speakers back the way they where, I’m trying to control the volume with google home to have all the speaker turn the volume up all together and also down. for what ever reason it will only control one speaker at a time. Any help to resolve this would be appreciated. I did try different settings but seen to be at lose on how to set this. I can control the volume of all the speaker at one time with the app but not with Google it did work at one time but has stop.Thanks in advancelou

Dear community,I have updated two speaker names in the Sonos app. I want to use them as surrounds together with a Beam. However the names in the Google home app have not been automatically updated. Do you know how to push the Sonos names to google app or force an update?Thanks, Robert 

I have added my sonos speaker to my google home group and it will cast music to all speakers. However the sonos sound is ahead of the other speakers in the group (annoyingly so). I have tried using the sync slider in the app but it does not make a difference. How can I fix this? 

I feel like I've tried every fix that's recommended, but no luck. When trying to add Google assistant to my Sonos App, the process seems to work perfectly, but after the process is complete, it does not work and it doesn't show up under Voice Services in my Sonos App. Even after it says it was successful. Additionally, the Sonos Playbase does show up in the Google Home app, just not in the Sonos App. Bottom line, Google Assistant doesn't work. Everytime it says it's successful, but never shows up under Voice services (in Sonos App) when I click "Done" from my Android phone. How do I fix this?   Ps. I've tried changing room names, removing music services, starting from scratch, etc.

Hi there just set up google assistant on my sonos 5.1 and two other sonos ones. Setup was smooth, but after installation, it gives the following reply whenever I ask Hey google to play music/ spotify etc. My google music services is the same spotify account as my sonos default. same for the sonos device setting. I can skip track, pause, stop music once I've launched spotify from my phone etc. Hope someone can help 🙂

I have successfully set up routines to turn off lights etc when I leave the house via the Google assistant on my sonos one but I cannot seem to find a way to add turn OFF the music as part of the routine. Currently I activate the routine which turns off the lights and have to give a separate command to turn off the music. Is it possible to integrate both commands as a routine? 

I have 15 Sonos products, Amazon Echo dot and Google nest mini. I have a total of 66 smart home devices from radiator valves to light bulbs and power sockets to speakers.I have found Alexa increasingly annoying and becoming more and more picky about how you achieve things. She will respond to “Alexa set the dining room lights to 50%” by saying “please try again using % for brightness and degress for temperature” which just frustrates the hell out of us.We have found google nest mini to be a LOT more accommodating in how you ask it to do things. “Hey google, can you set the lights to be brighter” for example.Now I recently purchased 4x Sonos One and 1x Beam. The plan was to move wholesale to Google Assistant for a more ‘humanised’ interface. I installed the Beam, added a couple of Play:1s as rears (previously operating as a stereo pair in my kitchen) and enabled Google assistant, ran trueplay…. everything was going really well. The beam responded well and everything seemed to work as ho

We all know how all encompassing big tech can be. I was one of the few people that invested in a Nest camera before Nest was acquired by Google. Once Google acquired the company, Nest became a little compromised in terms of what they offer. If Sonos bailed out because of the big tech squeeze, Sonos will never be the same under Google. Whilst the Google Home Hub sells well, it’s nowhere near as quality a product as Sonos products. Any Sonos legacy products are easily superior that any of Google’s newer products (Google does not really have special interest in speakers, they have special interest in a bigger slice of the market -whatever it takes. I recently switched to the Ring Doorbell because they are genuinely about home security rather than also trying to harvest users’ personal info in effort to sell you more products (soon there’ll be a Google refrigerator, Google car, shaver, etcetera, it’s mind numbing). Sonos has a moral duty to not cede their innovation spot to the G. What say

Hi!I am trying to link my Sonos system to my google home. But every time when I am using the google home app, push configure a new unit search for sonos and then link the app just say that the account is link and I am back to the beginning with no speakers.Can somebody help me?

Hi, I have set up Google Assistant on my new Sonos Beam, which works OK. However GA will not play Spotify on Sonos. I have set up Google Assistant in the Sonos app, and logged in with the same Spotify premium account on both the Sonos app and the Google Home app. I’ve even signed out and in again on both apps to be absolutely sure. But when I ask Google assistant to play Spotify on Beam, it claims that I have not signed in with the same premium account on both apps. I use an Galaxy S10+ for setup. Any ideas?

Hello All,I am trying to play white noise on my Google assistant through Sonos continuously throughout the night.  No matter what I do, it only plays for one hour and stops, waking us up.  On Google Home, you can say “Ok Google, Play White music for 10 hours” and it will do so.  On Sonos, you can say the same thing, but it will stop after one hour.  Makes no sense?  I have Sonos in every room and gave up my Google Home so hoping I don’t need to bring it back!Thanks
