Arc and Google Assistant

Hi, having just set up the Arc and a Gen 3 Sub, I thought I would add Google Assistant.

Unfortunately, when I get to the point, where it asks you to login to my Sonos account, it just say that my email address or password is incorrect!

I checked and double checked my Sonos account details, and I am inputting the correct details.

I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Google Assistant, but it still says my account details are incorrect.

Now what?

TIA

I was having the same problem with my Arc. Google Assistant couldn't find it. What worked for me was to unlink Sonos from Google Home and then relink it. It was able to find my Arc after that. Hope that helps.

So I had installed the assistant app prior to adding voice. Was just showing that I get some indication of the arc being added but no voice assistant. 
 

everytime I get the s2 to try and add google assistant it keeps bringing me to the App Store page for the assistant app; regardless of the fact I’ve already got it installed. 
 

I think this link within the s2 app has got to be broken and might be why the process isn’t completing. 
 

anyone else have similar problems with being forced to the App Store?

any chance the Assistant app isn’t up to date? as i noted, i’m not an iOS user so can’t test myself. this does look to be an issue that would warrant a support call.

It’s Version 1.8.9604 of the google assistant iOS app, being the update that was released last week.

Well, it looks like a call to Sonos, as although I have google assistant setup on my phone, its still a no go. I have no trouble with using Alexa though, instead of.

I have the same problem. 
 

Amazon Alexa was able to find my Sonos arc right away, so no issue here with network. Google Assist keeps looking for device and finds nothing, and ask me to try again later :/ 

Using S2 app: 12.1

Arc: 1.27.1.8-1.1 series A100 

google assist: 1.9.7803

iOS: 13.7

iphone 11 Pro

 

my feeling is this is a google problem, not sonos?
