Google Assistant & Sonos

I have the Google assistant app loaded and it recognizes the Sonos One speaker and the microphone is activated but The Google assistant does not respond to commands.  Is it possible the Sonos is defective or is it just user error?

I have 2 x Sonos Ones Gen 2 configured in stereo. Sound quality is excellent. Response to Google Assistant commands however is terrible. I have other Google Assistant devices around my home which respond to commands first time everytime. Is there a known problem here which is being investigated? Maybe a software update in the very near future? Help please as is almost unusable.

I am constantly getting the “I can’t reach the internet right now” from Google Assistant (GA) running on both my Sonos One speakers.  GA on my phone has no such issues and neither do three Google Home Minis in my home.  The speakers themselves have Wifi connections because I can use the Sonos app to play musing on them with no issues.   Suggestions?   This is quite annoying.   I bought two One’s in December 2017 only because of the promis of GA availability in the near future, then had to put up with the constant delays from Sonos to the point where I had forgotten all about this.  A few weeks ago I realized that GA for Sonos is finally out and installed it, only to get these issues.  Have no interest in Alexa, Amazon already knows way too much about me to give them yet more information.

I keep getting the message “looks like there aren’t any other speakers connected on your home network so I can’t broadcast your message.” I am able to group and play on my play one speakers with the the sonos app and I can also use Spotify direct control so I know they are on the network. I am also able to see the speakers in the google home app. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? From the home app I try to broadcast and it says broadcasting now but nothing is broadcasted. TIA -Tom

Lyckas inte att ansluta tjänsten med Google Assistant. Få felmeddelande när Sonos ska länka till GA.  Hur kan man lösa detta?    

Jag har försökt jättelänge nu men det funkar inte! Jag har försökt koppla Google Assistant i flera timmar nu men det fungerar inte, vad gör jag fel? Jag har försökt allt enligt tidigare trådar om problem med samma sak.

Hi I have a Beam hooked up to a Sony android TV and am using Google Assistant throughout the house (2 Ones in other rooms). I can turn the TV on and off, as well as changing the volume, but cannot get anything more advanced controls to work, such as playing Netflix via voice control through Google Assistant. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how do you need to set it up? I have another (non-smart) TV with a Chromecast, which you can control via Google Assistant so had hoped Android TV would be the same as Chromecast. Thanks in advance

Hi, I’m a newbie and have a Google Nest hub, but need better sound quality. I would prefer to change the default speaker in the hub to a Sonos but with which Sonos is this possible, only with the portable with bluetooth? A friend of mine had an old Sonos speaker but I didn't see it in the menu of the hub to automatically stream all music to it.   Thanks Vince

I installed at used the Assistant without any problems and working fine. After sine time it stop working. No respons or connection at all. The light in the microphone on the speaker is off.tried to reinstall via the Sonos app and same isssue - works for a while and Them stops again. any ideas?

Hi, I would like to talk to Google Assistant like I do on my Google home mini. For example, to meditate I use Headspace. But the "talk to headspace” command does not work. Is there a way I could tackle this?

If I ask Google home to play a specific genre of music on Sonos, it always says that Google Play Music isn't connected to Sonos,  which is true, though Pandora, Amazon music,iHeart radio, etc are. If I tell Google to turn on Sonos, it plays whatever genre of music on whatever service was last listened to. I don't seem to be able to specify which service to use. Is there a way of specifying a default music service for Google to use on Sonos? Is there a way if specifying which service to use?

I would like to be able to turn on music on my sonos speakers using Google Assistant. However, it can only play from Pandora. I can’t figure out how to play from the Sonos Music Library, or a Sonos Playlist.    Is there a way to do this?

When I try to play NTS Radio using my voice, it always uses TuneIn. I’d prefer to use the NTS Radio app.

Is this normal? If so this is awful. It's exactly why I've never been able to use them for surround sound with the beam and alexa. My room is very long, now I have to shout all the way across when I'm at the other end of the room.

I can’t play music on any music service or do broadcast or anything like that. It says ‘sorry this mode isn’t available in the family room’ i have two sonos ones paired with a playbase

I can issue play/volume commands on Google Assistant to a specific speaker (e.g. "Play x station on Pandora in Kitchen"). However how do I command to play in Kitchen, Dining Room, and Bedroom (as an example)? Is there a command for 'everywhere'? or 'all speakers'? (e.g. "Play x station on Pandora in Everywhere")

Have two One(sec gen) paired. For my convenience changed speaker default from left to right. As far as the system is concerned the left speaker is the default I am nterested in possible consequences

If i wanted to switch back to Alexa or vis a versa , Alexa to Google on my Sonos one app, what is the correct and easiest way to do this? must I reinstall the voice service again? thanks

I just purchased a number of Sonos products (Move, Playbar, Boost, Symfonisk) and replaced one of my Google Home Mini's in my kitchen with the Sonos Move. When I try to give the Google Assistant Command "Play ABC 12 on Youtube TV" or "Play ESPN on Youtube TV" the Google Assistant replies with, "I'm Sorry, I can't find ABC 12 on youtube tv, or that channel is currently not available". If I give the same command to my google home mini, or my google nest hub, it works fine. There are other google voice commands (such as turn off a light, or play pandora radio) that seem to work fine on the Sonos Move. I contacted Google and they said that it is a Sonos issue as the commands work fine with other products (home mini, google app, nest hub), just not the Sonos Move.

Hi Can I use a Google Home Hub (the device with the screen) to control Spotify and Sonos? I would like to place the Google Hub in my Kitchen and link it to my Kitchen Sonos system. I would then like to say “Hey Google, play the Arctic Monkeys” and have the Google Hub display album artwork etc but have the Sonos speakers play the audio (and not the Google Hub). Is this possible? I have searched all over and can’t find an answer and might have to resort to buying one and trying it and then returning it if this is not possible!

Will we be able to play music from Amazon Music Unlimited to our Sonos speakers using Google Assistant in the future? I realize an Echo device would be the obvious choice here, but I'm hoping to be able to do this with my Android phone.

The voice service used to work very well before using my phone and then just stopped working. I went and bought a google home mini to see if that would work but same result. I have reset everything but still no result. I have a google play subscription I say " OK Google, play classical music in the living room". response is "alright, classical music from google play playing on living room, sorry I'm not sure how to help you yet" and "sorry I cant help with that yet". I have also tried to play in the kitchen (I have Sonos play 1 in the kitchen as well), but the same response. I have tried to unlink the service from my phone and use my tablet instead , but same responses. Google home app shows the speaker connected through sonos in the living room and kitchen. I have contacted the tech support but have had no luck yet

Apologies if this isn't the correct method to make a request. Would it be possible to request Hong Kong be added to the list of future places that support Google Assistant on Sonos products? Thanks!

I set up Google Assistant in my two sonos one (gen 2) and i try to use sleep timer and it not work.When I have spotify playing, if I say "Sleep Timer for 10 minutes", Google Assistant responds "Sleep timers can only be set when media is playing".Is there any way to get this to work?

Goodday, I have multiple Sonos speakers in my living room, but if i change the volume by GA voice it only changes the volume on the one that is 'listing'. This is really annoying and removes the use of voice commands for sonos. It's quicker with the app then changing the volume for every individual speaker by voice... Did i miss something? These would be perfect: 'Volume to 30 percent' 'Group volume to 30 percent' 'All Groups/Speakers volume to 30 percent' Thanks
