    Currently, there is a partial outage on Alexa and Google Assistant, please see: https://status.sonos.com/

     

    In case this isn’t the issue, can you open the Sonos App on your mobile device and select Settings>Services>Voice Services>Google and ensure your device is shown as ‘Enabled’?

    Im not sure what the outage means but the Unit works for a few hours or days and then there is no connection and does not react on Voice commands. In the Sonos app it still apears Connected. 
    if i remove the Assistant in the sonos app and then re-install /re-connect the devise it then works for some time before the same issue starts over.

    Did you check the services?

     

    When the Voice control stops, can you still use the Sonos App?

    Not working for me either. It stopped working and then the Assistant disappeared from the Sonos app and it can't be re-added. Google Assistant says There may be s problem, and then nada.

    Check the Google App and perhaps unlink the Sonos device/skill, then try the setup of the assistant again from the Sonos App under “Settings/Services/Voice” and choose the speaker(s) you wish to add the GA too.

    Hope that fixes it for you.
