Google Assistant & Sonos

Google Assistant timers on Beam are created and count down correctly but make no completion sound. Google Assistant alarms on the same Beam sound normally. Issue persists after removing and re-adding Google Assistant. Is there a bug? It was working fine until a few weeks ago, I haven’t touched any settings. 

I have had Google Assistant installed on my Sonos One speaks for years now. But for no reason whatso ever it stopped working (just another Sonos feature).  Every time I said “Hey Google”, the speaker would take many seconds to reply then told me “there has been a glitch, try again in a few seconds” but it just wouldn’t work. I followed the instructions to uninstall the feature from the speaker and then reinstall - but it just will not work. I don’t know if it is because the Google Assist app has evolved leaving Sonos behind or what but it get blocked every time when, in the Sonos app I add assistant → Add Google Assistant → Open Google Assistant app…. and then it just hangs. I’ve checked my Google Assistant app but I’m pretty sure it has been updated since the last time I installed the speakers.  So I just can not get past this point.  I use the assistant a lot as I have smart devices all over the house.  If I can’t get this to work, I will have to get rid of the Sonos speakers and buy

Hello Sonos Support,I am experiencing a persistent issue with a Sonos One where onboard voice assistants no longer treat the speaker as the local playback device.The speaker can play music when it is explicitly named, for example:“Play [music/radio] on Living Room”However, when speaking directly to the Sonos One and saying:“Play [music/radio]”the command does not play locally unless I include the speaker name.This previously worked normally. I could speak to the Sonos One and simply say “play [music/radio]” and it would play on that same speaker.The issue affects both Google Assistant and Alexa, so it does not appear to be isolated to one assistant provider.Current behaviour:The Sonos One responds to voice commands. Smart-home commands work, including lights and thermostat control. Music/radio playback works if I explicitly name the speaker. Music/radio playback does not resolve to the local Sonos One when I simply say “play [music/radio]”. Google Home can see the Sonos speaker as a li

Out of the blue last month my Sonos one stopped playing music on YouTube music. I’ve tried unlinking and de authorising and nothing seems to work I swapped to Alexa and had no issues other than Alexa doesn’t let you use YouTube music and since that’s the service I use. effectively I’m left with a paperweight as it stands 

I have a Sonos One. At the end of January Google Assistant stopped being able to play tracks on Spotify (it would work with other commands). There was at least one other forum post about a similar issue and there was even a Status post at https://status.sonos.com/ for the issue. I opened a support case and it was recommended that I watch the status post.However, a couple of weeks ago the status post disappeared (I can no longer see it, but the link was https://status.sonos.com/incidents/5g9b95ggcymg) and yet it still doesn’t work. I have tried many variations on removing and resetting connections and still nothing.Surely I am not the only one who still has this issue?! Thanks!

Hallo,Ik gebruik de google assistent al jaren zonder probelem op mijn sonos beam maar sinds kort praat die half Engels en Nederlands door elkaar heb de assistent van de speaker verwijder en opnieuw toegevoegd hopend dat het opgelost zou zijn maar nu kan die helemaal geen commando's uitvoeren ik kan wel vragen "wat is de tijd" dan krijg ik in het Nederlands antwoord als ik vraag doe de lampen uit dan krijg ik in het Engels antwoord of als ik synchroniseer apparaten zeg dan krijg ik in het Engel dat alles opnieuw gesynchroniseerd is maar niks werkt meer iemand een idee Op alle systemen staat alleen Nederlands als taal geen 2e taal locatie staat ook op Nederland alle systemen ook geüpdatet 

Hello,I own a Sonos Beam. Over the past few days I’ve noticed that Google Assistant responds to “Hey Google”, but it ignores voice commands and nothing happens. I’ve tried several commands, for example:“Hey Google… lower the volume”,“… turn off the TV”,“… play song X”. None of the commands are executed. I therefore tried removing Google Assistant and adding it again. Everything works fine until I’m redirected to login.ws.sonos.com. When I click “OK”, I’m sent to a page that doesn’t exist (404). Since I can’t proceed in the process, I’m currently unable to add Google Assistant back to my Sonos device. How should I proceed? Could you please fix the link so I can complete the connection? I’ve attached screenshots showing what I see step by step before I’m redirected to the non-existent page 

Buonasera,Da oggi,nonostante abbia scollegato e ricollegato l'account come da istruzioni,sonos non spegne/accende più le luci  ,e altri comandi domotici e inoltre non riproduce più i miei brani vocalmente.Ho letto le vostre.istruzioni perché è un problema segnalato ultimamente...mi aiutate per favore a risolverlo?Ho anche un n'est mini collegato e lui funziona.Grazie mille 

Google Assistant no longer controls the volume on my Sonos One. Typical dialog:Q: OK Google. What’s the volume?A: The volume is set at 75%Q: OK Google, set volume 50%A: Got it(no change)Q: OK Google. What’s the volume?A: The volume is set at 75%Q: OK Google. Lower the volume.A: OKQ: OK Google. What’s the volume?A: The volume is set at 75%

For years i have used my Google Assistant automation routine “Hey Google, Local news” to play my local new radio station. I use a routine because every once in a while Google stops recognizing  the station name and needs a different name to work. I just change the routine so I can keep on saying “Local news” as usual.But a new bug cropped up today. Google Assistant running on my Google Home speakers still plays the correct station from the Play Radio Station command in the routine, but Sonos instead tries to play a Spotify playlist instead of a radio station. Something is newly being lost in translation between Google and Sonos.I have fixed it for the moment by changing the routine command to say specifically to play the station from Tune In.

Until recently this was working just fine.  So if I said ‘Hey google, turn on the lights’, it would ONLY turn on the lights in the same room as the Sonos speaker who heard the request. But now it turns on ALL the lights in the house!!! If I say ‘Hey Google, turn on lounge lights’ this does work - but room awareness was working before!I’ve looked at other posts but nothing suggested works for me.  Is this a Sonos or Google issue? BackgroundI moved broadband suppliers last week, and their hub wouldn't let me use the same wifi password, which of course resulted in the Sonos devices going offline.  Using the app I updated new network on one of my devices (which worked fine) but mistakenly didn't click do this for other devices so they were removed from my sonos setup.  For each of them I had to factory reset & re-add to the network - which means re-adding Google assistant support again. But afterwards all working ok. Checked / Tried so far….Confirmed each Sonos device has a room name a

I am trying to follow the instructions here to add a Google Nest Mini in a room which has an old Play 1 for voice control.I can’t for the life of me add it in the Sonos app. Basically I get to the stage where I go into my Sonos app, General Settings add voice assistant. One of the devices on my system is an Arc, which has the ability to install / have Google Assistant. So when I select Settings->General Settigns->Voice Assistants->Add a voice assistant->Google Assistant it comes up with a prompt ‘select a room to add Google Assistant’ and presents me with the room with the Arc in.There is no option to add my Nest Mini. I must be missing something but for the life of my I’ve got no idea what I need to do.

Hi there,  I have a Sonos move 1 and i've been using it with much joy. But since a week or so I've had troubles with playing music with google assistant on my move. I have re-synced my sonos with the assistant in the Sonos app AND i've reconnected the Sonos app in my Google Home. (Done this twice now)Everytime I ask it to play it says:'’Sorry, I can't do that on this device'’ When playing music from the Sonos app I can in fact skip songs, lower volume or stop the music.  I've called support and they told me they can't help me, because I've done the steps they would do.  Does someone know how to make it work again. 

After the recent Sonos system update all voice enabled devices have failed to install or load Google Assistant.  Sonos support is blaming Google due to Gemini and Google is blaming Sonos for a very poor app link integration. Shockingly Amazon Alexa and Sonos Voice work fine but for users who have all of their home automation on Google Assistant/Google Home they are screwed again. Please resolve this issue!

Hey everyone I recently upgraded my mini to Gemini and Sonos has been playing completely different song when I play it through google miniMy set up is Sonos 1 + google mini + Gemini.I will ask mini " Hey google play A song" and Google mini will respond with " Playing A song on this sonos" but what is playing on sonos is completely different song that i asked. I have tried rebooting mini and sonos . I have removed and readdded YT music and nothing works . It happens  on ALL my sonos controlled by google mini. This ONLY happens after i upgraded to Geminiis anyone having the same issue or find any solution ?Thanks 

recently beginning of 2026, my sonos beam is getting "i can't connect to internet right now" error prompt voice when we try to use the google assistant.we tried to reinstall the voice assistant mutiple times, still having issue. sometimes, it worked for a while and then same error message again.after some research, people were talking gemini and sonos voice control conflicts in the same network. we remove gemini from my android phone, but the error still exist.any advice?

I am a dedicated Sonos user with a significant investment in your ecosystem, including the new Arc Ultra, Sub, and several Era 100s. While the hardware remains industry-leading, the software experience is currently fragmented for those of us in the Google ecosystem.Currently, I am forced to place Google Nest speakers right next to my Sonos speakers because the Era and Ultra lines lack Google integration. I have no interest in Alexa or Sonos Voice Control; I want the power of the best AI ecosystem available today.My message to the leadership team: Please set aside the corporate friction and technical pride. Integrate Google (and the new Gemini capabilities) into your latest hardware. Don’t force your loyal customers to choose between great sound and a great AI assistant.

Since some time it's not possible anymore to play music by asking Google Assistant. When asking "Hey Google, play Radio 583", the answer is "I' m sorry but it isn't not possible on this device.I hope someone can help us.Regards, Florence 

I have sonos one in the kitchen and can set up google assistant.  I have move 2 and era100 but I cannot.  What is the deal?  This needs to be resolved!

Hi, Google assistant worked fine till now. I tried to re connect it, it will not connect. Tried restart, unlink and link again Sonos via "works with Google". Here's a screenshot.  

On my Sonos app (of course I use the last version), I don’t see “Google Assistant” for my Roam 2 in the menu “add assistant”. Alexa is listed, but not Google. Is it no more possible to use it ?(I also have a Sonos Beam, and Google is still listed on the assistant menu…)So with a Roam 2, no more Google ? Thank you. 

Please help as I am going crazy trying to sort this.Due to other issues, I had to factory restore my Sonos One but am now finding it impossible to re add Google Voice Assistant, I have relinked the account (I only have one, so no issues there) tried adding Alexa as an experimet, which does add, but does not react to voice comands, says system not online, but it definitely is,  just want to get Google back up and running, have tried everything with no luck. All I have is the message "This may take a minute. If it is taking too long, try again" and the icon just spinning away, I have no idea what to try next.Any help would be much appreciated. Kind regards Darren. 

When i say hey google play some music or a specific music, it says “Playing song name on sonos from spotify” but then it does nothing? It works completely fine from google assistant on my phone and from my google tv. But when i tell my google nest hub 2 it just says “Playing song name on sonos from spotify” without actually doing it?

Can I set up Google assistant on a Roam 2? Or must I use Alexa???
