Alarms don't seem to be set through Google Assistant.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. "Hey Google, set an alarm for xxx"
  2. Google responds that alarm is set
  3. "Hey Google, what alarms do I have set?"
  4. Google responds that no alarms have been set

    Sonos, please fix this now! It's fake marketing that you can use Google Assistant on your speakers, solve the problem!

    I just started noticing this recently on my Beam after upgrading to “S2”, whatever that means… I’ve only ever used my google assistant feature for alarms, not the sonos alarms. It might have been present before the upgrade, but definitely noticed it recently.

    In my case, the alarm goes off at the correct time, it just reports the incorrect time when I query it or cancel it.

    My guess is they had a bug around time zone management, and someone on Sonos’ software team had a bright (by bright, I mean not so bright) hack to use UTC and then secretly snooze the alarm to create the proper time zone offset. Sonos - this has been an issue for 4 years based on this thread - fix it already!
