Having trouble adding the google assistant to arc. No issues adding to move or one. the google assistant app just says “no device found” when i try to add to my arc...
 

All devices on same wifi set up.


Have already tried factory reset, unlinking and relinking sonos account to google assistant. Super frustrating as I want to use my ones as surrounds with the arc but not lose the google assistant. 

 

any tips?

What happens when you add Google Assistant to the Arc through the Sonos app?

Sorry, i may not have been so clear. I am trying to add through the sonos app and when the sonos app switches to the google assistant I receive the message “No devices found”

Try going to Settings > App Preferences > and tap Reset App and close and re-open the Sonos app. Also try removing your Ones as surrounds from your Arc and remove Google Assistant from your Ones before adding Google Assistant to the Arc.

Well, I was able to finally add it. Not sure I did anything differently. However now the Google assistant will often chime now on the arc when i say “ok google”, but fails to answer a question or perform commands. And after a while of being non responsive then says “sorry I’m having trouble”. Arc is connected to Wi-Fi, and my television via eArc. 
 

seems unlikely to be the router, as other Sonos products have no problem with the Google voice assistant. Any thoughts or tips?

There are many users who have your router who have experienced connection issues since the latest router firmware update. Some have fixed their problems by reverting back to the previous firmware. Read through this thread: 

 

Thanks so much! Following the guidance in that thread fixed it for me. 

Had lot of problem witth this, did clear my data and cash for Google home and sonos, then opened Google home and linked sonons again. This finally sovled my problem! 

 

Prior to this I had changed this settings. After clearing the data an cash this solved my problem.
