Setting up a turn off music routine via Google assistant on sonos

I have successfully set up routines to turn off lights etc when I leave the house via the Google assistant on my sonos one but I cannot seem to find a way to add turn OFF the music as part of the routine. Currently I activate the routine which turns off the lights and have to give a separate command to turn off the music. Is it possible to integrate both commands as a routine?

Hi @CliveGu, welcome to the Sonos community. Thank you for reaching out to us and letting us know about your concern. Let me help you with this. 

First, I'd like to ask some questions to isolate the issue so we can create a path towards resolution.

  1. When you ask Google Assistant about the weather did she give you the correct information?
  2. What is the make and model of your smart home device?
  3. Do you have other Sonos devices with Google Assistance installed? If so, how does Google Assistant work on those devices?
  4. Have you tried rebooting your network and Sonos devices? How did Google Assistant work after?

To see if this clears up the issue, run through our Google Assistant troubleshooting guide.

If the recommended steps do not resolve your issue, please contact Sonos Customer Care for further assistance. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

What is it with the Sonos Staff replies, are these Bots or something?

    Did this ever get sorted?

    I'm also trying to set up the command to turn off all Sonos music via the Google Home app when I give the instruction that I'm leaving the house. The Sonos speakers appear in the app, but are not listed when trying to setting up devices to respond to commands. All my other smart home devices are listed.
