how to make my Echo Show play the same song as sonos

Is it possible to make my Echo Show play the same song as my Sonos speaker? I already set it up so that the Echo Show can play songs on Sonos with voice control.

how to group speakers for alarm (Yonomi has sunsetted)

Yonomi has now sunsetted. I was using that app to group all of my speakers in the middle of the night prior to my morning alarm going off. My alarm is a radio station and I want to hear it in the whole house as I get ready in the morning. I have looked at IFTTT and it doesn’t look like that is possible. I have also looked at Apple shortcuts but that isn’t possible. I have Apple products only, no android. I have Alexa as well as Google at home. Any suggestions??? It is just maddening that Sonos hasn’t made this possible yet!!!

Sonos esta a punto de desapareser

Yo compre sonos para escuchar musica solo eso, entienden, y si no estas suscrito a Sonos music no puedes escuchar música en  Apple Music ,  Voy a hacer basura estos altavoces , y cuando apple tenga los suyos los compro , eso es lo que quieren, son una basura, no vuelvo a comprar en Sonos, por cierto invertí en sonos 10000 dólares y perdí 70 por cierto y ahora esto, menos mal que no seguir perdiendo, por que vendí las acciones , pero me quede con la mierda los altavoces.

using sonos as a door chime through Homekit with Logitech Circle view doorbell

I’m about to install Logitech Circle View Doorbell and Camera. I’d like to utilize one or more of my Sonos One Speakers through AirPlay on Apple HomeKit. Is this possible?  I’d like to avoid buying Apple’s Home Hub.

How can I override the request for airplay code from iPhone podcast app?

I’ve scoured the community for an answer to this and all i see is the recommendation to check my smart tv and disable passwords (none are enabled) or to factory reset which i prefer not to do. Is there someplace in the sonos app or on iPhone settings i can control this? I don’t even see Airplay on my settings list in my iPhone 12. Thanks!

2 amps with identical setup, 1 airplay works, 1 doesnt.

Hello! I have 5 Sonos that are AirPlay enabled, including 2 amps.  for these two amps, they are setup identically, they are stacked on top of each other,  both hard wired direct to the network.  1 amp (and all my other Airplay speakers) work.  But 1 amp gives the same error on any device (“unable to connect to “the pool”) ive power cycled, restarted the network, checked for updates,   Turned WiFi on and off on that amp,   Tried a half dozen iOS devices,     Nothing I do will make the Sonos work.   for this broken amp, no other symptoms, all music services work from the Sonos ap, but not from airplay or apple HomeKit.  it did work at one point when I installed the amps initially, but not anymore.   any tips? Thanks !

Sonos should take over Universal Remote market!

I have a Harmony remote.  It controls all 'smart' gear and Sonos, but it's not fun to use. I think Sonos should enter and take over this market.  There are no competitors that are significant. Please consider it!

Using a Sonos speaker to control CastleOS

I'm configuring my home network and want to add speakers to different rooms. I'm considering using CastleOS as my controller software because I currently have a Ring doorbell and Nest thermostat and am interested in the Sonos speaker options.I know I can control the Sonos speakers by talking to them, and I can control the speakers through CastleOS, but can I control CastleOS (or another controller software like Home Assistant) by talking to the speakers, or are the onboard mics only capable of controlling the speakers?I'm looking for alternatives to buying a few Kinects to add voice commands to my home's CastleOS setup, and these Sonos speakers appear to be ideal in giving me multi-room voice recognition while also filling the sound system role, but only if they also let me give CastleOS commands, such as turning light switches on/off or setting the temperature.Thank You In Advance,

Sonos ARC preventing Ring and Arlo Cameras from showing on Samsung TV

My Samsung frame TV’s can pop up a video alert on my TV when my Ring Pro Doorbell or Arlo Security cameras detect motion.  I received a motion notification on-screen along with the triggered camera’s video stream.  This works perfectly until I connect a Sonos ARC sound bar.  When I use the sound bar I get the motion notification on screen but no video from the camera appears.  If I go through the menus and trigger the cameras I can see the video on the TV but it will not display the video stream when using the Sonos ARC sound bars.  It does work if I use a Samsung sound bar.  Any ideas how to rectify this issue.  I’d hate to throw out 3 Sonos ARC sound bars due to this issue.

Airplay no longer working - homekit upgrade?

Recently upgraded homekit with the new architecture (iOS 16.2). I can no longer Airplay to several speakers, all of which are hardwired or on Sonosnet. The only two speakers I can Airplay to are a Move and a Roam.  I tried removing and re-adding a speaker in homekit but I can’t re-add it.  Also tried power cycling Sonos units, all the homekit hubs, and the router. Same thing. “Airplay - unable to connect”.  Any ideas? I’ll try factory resetting a speaker tomorrow…

Echo show / Sonos One integration

Hi, I have 2x Sonos One in the kitchen. I am looking to buy a Ring Doorbell and add an Echo Show 5 to the kitchen which would replace an echo dot that is used as a bluetooth input only wired into a Sonos Connect. The only use I see for the Echo Show is to display the Ring Doorbell camera (and to act as the bluetooth input currently fulfilled by the Echo Dot it will replace). I understand that I need to ask Alexa to display the door camera, i.e. the show does not automatically display the camera when the doorbell is rung. As per the Echo Dot the show would have the microphone turned off. Can I ask Alexa to display the doorbell camera on the show via the Sonos Ones? Thank you

IFTTT Sonos Volume Control

I see at IFTTT.com that there is a Recipe to play a Favorite on certain days, certain time in a certain room at a certain volume. It works but I cannot change the Title of it so I’ve got several ALL with the same Title (for different Favorites). I tried to create my own recipe (so I can customize the Title) but I do not find the Volume ingredient. Any insight on getting advanced options? Thanks

google home is interacting with Sonos

In my lounge I have a playbar linked to my TV (by optical) with two play:3 as surround sound speakers. The TV also has a google chromecast. I have strange effects happening which might relate to the impending google home integration release but I am not part of that beta as yet ..... If I ask google home to play music from spotify to my chromecast it play the music on the playbar and the play:3 speakers remain silent or almost so (probably is surround sound mode). If I stop google home playing and use Sonos to play music to this 'room' then the play:3 speakers play the music as well as the playbar. If I then stop the Sonos sourced music and then ask Google Home to play music to the chromecast again then the Play:3 speakers play the music at the same volume that Sonos was playing them at. Also if, whilst Google Home music is playing, I group two rooms in my Sonos app (2nd room has another play:3) then the Google sourced music plays in the second room which it would normal

Harmony Elite stopped controlling Sonos Beam Volume

I have had problems controlling the volume of the Sonos Beam with a Harmony remote ever since I purchased the Beam about 6 months ago. The volume control (using the Harmony) seems to work for a period of time and then stops. It may be related to playing music through the Beam then switching back to the TV. Usually I reboot the TV, Beam and Harmony hub and it starts working again. This time it doesn't resolve itself. I can control the beam through the Sonos app. I cannot put the volume up/down/mute using the Harmony remote. I also can't put the volume up/down/mute using the Harmony app on the phone. I have read quite a number of online articles and have tried selecting "TV" again in the Sonos app. That doesn't fix it. I have also tried switching the remote to only using IR for the Sonos beam but when I sync remote and app it resets itself to wifi + mini blasters. I have tried hanging one of the mini blasters in front of the Beam but that also doesn't work. I can't re-program the volume

Symfonisk remote stopped working with speakers

I have a playbar and two play:1’s. A few weeks ago I picked up the Ikea Symfonisk remote and it worked perfectly with my setup. Last night, my internet went out and my symfonisk remote wasn’t working. I went to set it up again and completed the setup succesfully through the ikea smart home app. However, the app still does not recognize my remote as a device. After successfully setting it up, the remote still doesn’t work and does not appear on the list of devices. I’ve tried disconnecting my account from the app, and also re- set up the ikea hub and the problem persists.

Philips Hue and Sonos One w/Alexa... Light Command Not Responding

I have Philips Hue with Smart Bulbs throughout my home. Majority of commands for lights are given through my Sonos One's and Beam. I have a lamp on one of two night stands in bedroom that was not responding to commands. Checked the Alexa app and it showed "Light unresponsive". [b]Quick Fix[/b] was to remove/re-install the bulb. Took all of a minute and everything was back to normal. Commands through Sonos One worked. As I said this is a quick fix and doesn't rule out a defective bulb. It wasn't Wi-Fi as the light on the opposite night stand responded to commands (besides I run in Boost mode for Sonos). Just thought I'd share the experience. [i][b]Cheers![/b][/i]

Play:1 Google Assistant and Apple Music

Hi I use 2no play 1 and a play 5. All in separate rooms and I think they are excellent. Recently, I purchased a nest stat and hello door bell to which I received a free google mini. This opened me to the world of voice assistants as I wasn’t ready yet to upgrade to the One or the Beam. I use Apple Music as my steaming service of choice and understand that the google assistant has just been introduced to Sonos in the uk. I have connected my system to the google home app and my speakers appear within each room. I understand that Apple Music is not yet supported through google home (although it is in the assistant) but other streaming services like Spotify are. However I noticed that you can only set google play or YouTube as the default music service. Now I’m not too fussed about selecting music service through an assistant as I quite like the sonos app and seeing what music to play, I think it would be a nuisance to try and remember every artist or song I wanted to play to try and
