Setup Google Assistant, Guide-video not matching app, not working

When trying to follow the Google Assistant setup guid and the small gif showing how th app should look, the “Add Google Assistant” button is not present in the app while it shows in the clip. When following the, I don't get past the guide page in the app telling me to install the app, login in and adding my Sonos and my Music services.My Sonos devices has been added in the Google Assistant app, and the music service as well without any issues. The Google App just reports that it cannot find my units. Does an updated point-by-point guide exist that actually matches the Sonos app(and maybe even also the Google Assistant app?

Brand new Sonos Roam won't play radio stations via google assistant

Hi all, hoping for some help. Just set up a Roam and authorised the google assistant etc. However, when I try to use the voice function to play a radio station, I.e. Radio 2, TALKsport I get the message “sorry I can’t find what you asked for”. Probably an easy fix so hoping this can be sorted fairly quickly. Thanks

Google Assistant new bug with "personal results"

Two days ago my long-standing Google Assistant “Good morning” routine on the Sonos One started telling me that it couldn’t do “that” unless personal results was enabled in Google Assistant for this speaker. I tested and found that it’s referring to the “tell me my reminders” command in the routine. The Google Home app doesn’t offer the “personal results” setting for Sonos speakers, but there is an “enable personal results” setting under Google Assistant settings in the Sonos app, and it was correctly set to enable. But apparently it has stopped working. I checked another non-Sonos speaker that has Google Assistant, and it’s also affected by the same new bug - it has the “personal results” setting enabled, and it no longer works. The “personal results” setting continues to work correctly for Google Home speakers. Google has obviously made a change that kills personal results for all non-Google speakers, either deliberately or as an accidental bug.

Set One as default music speaker option not available in Google home

I want my Sonos One to be the default music speaker when I say a command like “play rock music” or when it’s already playing “play the next song” without having to mention which speaker. I don't have the option in the home app that's mentioned in other threads.

Sonos can't find Hue Bridge anymore with Google Assistant

Since a couple of days, my Sonos Beam (Gen2) and/or Move keep saying they can’t ‘reach Philips Hue’, when I use voice commands via the Google Assistant. This used to work fine previously. The problem seems to be related to ‘scenes’, because a more simple command as ‘Turn of all the light’ still works. Maybe something went wrong with the most recent software update from last week, or so?Thanks in advance for all the input!Michel

Deliberate fraudulent marketing by Sonos.

It is UNACCEPTABLE that you are marketing Sonos Roam speakers with GOOGLE VOICE ASSISTANT and ALEXA when you do not support it in Poland. The Roam should not be sold in this market as you are misleading customers with your translated user guide, indicating it can work. Only to figure out, by digging deeper on the website that it does not.Can I ask you Sonos, why you are selling the Roam in Poland, when you are fully aware that the only product that should be on sale is the Roam SL?As for the laziness of not adding voice support with English is beyond me. Next of, except for the fraudulent behavior against your own customers, this practice is exceptionally fraudulent against your competitors. They are not advertising their products with features they do not deliver.As a company you have lost all integrity as it is quite clear you do this deliberately. Fortunately I am in a position to advice quite many people on consumer products, needless to say, your brand will forever stay in the bla

Google assistant on Sonos one needs to know device to play on

All ot the sudden.  One of my Sonos one devices no longer plays music when I ask it to on the Google Assistant. It says I must tell it what device to play it on. It never did this before and it's obviously kind of stupid since it is obviously the device I want to play it on. I thought the fix would be to pair the Sonos one as its own speaker but I can't find that option in Google home. I can for other rooms where I have legacy Sonos devices paired with Google home devices. But when it's all integrated in one thing I can't seem to figure out how to make it default to playing on itself anymore?

First there is confirmation of the command to play the song through Apple Music but then it states that this is not supported.this Sames a pretty basic action, why is this not working?

Using Sonos as Doorbell Chime with Google Nest Doorbell or Similar

The web is awash with all sorts of answers to similar questions, some with answers two or three years old which might as well be written on papyrus for all their relevancy to today.So let me ask my own.Here’s what I have now:1 Google Nest Wifi Router 1 Sonos 1 speaker 1 crummy old wired doorbell chimeWith these I can play music through my IPhone on the speaker via Nest WiFi, to which the speaker is connected. I can, sometimes, hear the crummy doorbell ring.Now I want to add an electronic doorbell/camera to this mix.I am looking at the Google Nest Wired doorbell.  Wired, so I don’t have to mess with batteries.  I could care less if the existing chime worked. I could even disconnect the chime itself, since it isn’t always loud enough. I want the signal from the bell to connect to the Nest Router and from there to the Sonos speaker and chime over the speaker. I see a lot of content saying you can get the doorbell to ring through a Google speaker but I don’t want to buy another speaker jus

Cannot add Google Assistant to Sonos

I’ve been trying to add the ability to control my Sonos system with Google Assistant. In the Sono2 app, I go to “Service & Voice”, then select “+ Add a third-party smart device to control Sonos”. I then get the option of either Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. When I choose Google Assistant, I get the following screen: It doesn’t let me add any functionality in the app itself. I have followed this instructions on Google Assistant but it doesn’t work. I spent a long time on the phone with Sonos Technical Support but they couldn’t solve this. Anyone get past this issue? Thank you

Although the wife is unable to order music by voice, other things do.

We have a number of Sonos speakers, three of which use Google voice search. We each have our own Spotify user profiles and Google Assistant accounts, including my wife. For both of us, Google complies with commands to do things like switch on lights, and if we ask it "Who am I," it knows each of us by name. But for me, it only functions when I request music. It indicates that it doesn't understand for my wife. Using her Spotify app, she can effectively send music to Sonos, but voice commands are ineffective.

Wife can't request music by voice, but other things work by voice

We have several Sonos speakers, 3 of which have voice, using Google. My wife and I each have Google Assistant and our own Spotify user profiles. For both of us, Google obeys commands for things such as turning on lights, and it recognizes each of us by name if we ask “Who am I”. However, it only works for me when asking for music. For my wife, it says it doesn’t understand. She successfully sends music to Sonos using her Spotify app, but using voice doesn’t work.Any suggestions?

Play on a Sonos Groups from a Google Assistant

I don’t think this is possible, but all the answers I find are from 3 years ago (which is depressing because it feels like an updated feature is never going to come). I don’t want to group any google speakers with my Sonos speakers. I just want to know if there is a way to say “Hey google play “song” on “my Sonos group”. “My Sonos Group” is one of several groupings I’ve built in the Sonos app. I know there is no way to group within the Home app itself, but is there no command that Google Assistant can’t send to Sonos to just play an already set up group?
