Smart home integrations

Hi,My setup is as follows:1 x Sonos One in “Bathroom”1 x Sonos One in “Bedroom”1 x Sonos One in “Nursery Room”1 x Sonos One in the “Office”1 x Sonos ARC, Sonos SUB (3rd Gen) and 2 x Sonos SL in the “Living Room”, where I have my TV, which also has an Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen) plugged in to it. All rooms have Philips Hue lights as well. The name of the rooms are set up as stated in the quotation marks. Up until now, I have used Google Assistant to send voice commands and it has been working OK, with the exception of not being able to control my Apple TV with it, obviously. I just got a HomePod Mini as a present, which I have placed in the Living Room, same place and want to be able to use it as a voice command interface, to for example, “Hey Siri, play music in Living Room” or “Hey Siri, play music in Bathroom”. What happens is, Siri plays music on the HomePod Mini instead of the actua

I hope someone can help.I am looking at purchasing a new set of Sonos one for my rear speakers. Due to my current home set up i use both goggle and Alexa voice assistance.my question isCan I set these speakers up as rears and activate one speaker with Google and the other with Alexa or can you only have one voice assistant in the whole setup therefore meaning I could buy a one and a one SL and use these instead

Hi everyone, I’m considering buying a Sonos One, but before I want to be sure that I would be able to use it without any issues. I would like to control it using the cast feature of Google. I saw on the internet that I can embed the Sonos One in the Google Home app, will it mean that the cast feature will work ? Here is a screenshot of the cast feature. I’m not talking about using the Chromecast (with android TV and the HDMI Port), but only the cast feature to use deezer without the sonos app. Cast from deezerI hope you can help me with my question, and I hope that some of you found a way to use the cast feature !Thanks in advance,  

Hi Guys. Firstly, I tried to get this problem answered by Apple, but get nothing but the runaround from their support. While this appears to be a Home App issue, maybe one of the more technical people can help as it is also Sonos-related. I have a mix of HomePod Minis and Sonos Airplay-2 speakers scattered throughout the house. Some rooms only have HomePods, some rooms have only Sonos and some contain both. I want the ability to create a group that I can reference as a single entity and contains only the devices I select - for example, when I play music in a room that contains both Sonos and HomePod Mini, I only want the Sonos to play. Hence the need to be able to chose and pick which speakers are in the 'group'. (The HomePod’s are primarily deployed to provide intercom functionality, speakers in places where a Sonos speaker would be overkill, such as the two garages, and provide voice commands for other Homekit accessories.) I believe the H

I have a Sonos Amp connected to a turntable. Sonos One in kitchen. Primary purpose of getting the system was for the ability to listen to records in both spaces. The nice thing is, busy cooking and record ends, quick voice command to go to Spotify playlist.However, I can't seem to find a voice command to change it back to the line in for source when I want to go back to play a record. Is the only way to change via the app? HUGE flaw in the system if so and should be a developer priority. Quick search shows topics looking for this for over four years.  May even consider returning and building a traditional multiroom system instead.

Do any existing Sonos products support the 802.15.4 protocol also used by Zigbee compatible products?If that were true then Sonos through a firmware update could make those products compatible with the Matter project leveraging Thread.

Can I use Google mini to control my Sonos PLAY 1 speaker?  I’ve followed all instructions, downloaded the apps, etc but can’t seem to figure it out.  Is there a special command after Ok/Hey Google to have it turn on my Sonos speaker so that it plays the local radio station it’s set on?

Hello  as the title says, I’ve added my arc to HomeKit, have restarted everything, but it’s showing as not playing no matter what I do. Any ideas? 

We have just recently revamped our home network, per belowMain-LAN (192.168.100.0/24): Main Windows computers where I have sonos app installed. My iphone also connect to this LANIOT (192.168.107.0/24): For all of our smart things: Locks, Lights, AppleTV and Sonos OneI have read a few thread about how to configure the firewall to allow Sonos to be discovered.However, with the EdgeRouter 6P, I am quite new to the firewall rules but the basicsCould someone point me to the right direction?Thank you very much

I use my Sonos system in my smart home and it would be very useful to be able to know whether the Sonos Move is currently lying on its charging base or somewhere else.Sadly, I couldn’t find a way to do so through the API or something.Was someone able to do such a thing ?Thank you :)

I’ve loaded my library into the My Cloud Home (MCH), I’ve got MCH as a music service in the Sonos app.  Everything appears to be fine, but I can only play one or two songs before I get “Unable to play '[song title]” - the connection to My Cloud Home was lost" The MCH is plugged into my router, as is my Boost.  Sonos works fine playing from my computer, Spotify, Sonos Radio, etc etc….just won’t play reliably from My Cloud Home.  I’ve searched the net, and this site, and it’s not an uncommon problem, but I can’t see where anyone solved it.  Any ideas?

I have a VPN set up in my home so I can remote in and. . . well, it's not really important what I'm using it for. Has anyone had any success connecting to their home VPN with a Sonos speaker? I would love to be able to buy one for my office and have it connect to my music library at home. Searching old posts did not see any queries about the matter before. Thanks.

I’ve tried multiple times to connect my Sonos system to Apple Home on both my ipad and iphone and it always fails. Home is able to detect my Sonos system (Arc, Sub and surrounds) but when I select it, the Home app continually gives the error "Unable to  add accessory. Home couldn't connect to this accessory" I've tried resetting all my Sonos products and after that's complete, the error persists. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm able to Airplay to my Sonos system from an Apple device but I can't add to home to enable Siri. Google Assistant is hopeless in NZ and I've found Alexa is error prone. Siri just works so I'd like to connect to Apple Home. 

I suspect this may have been discussed, but I will bring it up again as its something CI Dealers discuss on the regular, and a category which has been criminally neglected.Sonos really needs a 1U height, 17” wide 4 zone port with rack ears. It can easily retail for $1800, and Installers would use them every day of the week rather than stacking Ports with multiple ethernet cables, wall warts, etc.Stacking multiple Ports in a rack is a mess, even when you have a rack face. They look great in a Living room, or on a traditional hifi rack, but its ultimately a consumer level product, and an Installer friendly option is severely lacking.NAD has a great one for BluOS, and it just looks like a blank rack face. Same with Heos.Best part is, no retail cost savings are required. This would sell for $1800 all day long.

Hii currently have two Sonos Sl ones as a stereo pair at the end of a long room. I wanted to add a voice control speaker at the other end. Initially I just wanted it completely separate to the two other speakers (ie just as a stand alone speaker for radio while in the kitchen). however now I’m wondering if I could link all three together to play the same thing. would a Sonos Sl one smart speaker do this for me? Ie would I be able to ask that speaker to play a radio station and hear it across all three speakers in the same room. (I don’t mind unpairing the stereo element of the other two if that’s what needs to happen?) anyadvice welcome on how best to do this. thanks 

I really cannot believe, how much we as sonos speaker owner’s spend to get mediocre service, at best. The inflexibility of this company will be its demise. There are a number of companies that make comparable products for half the price and with far more functionality then these speakers, so why would we continue to pay so much for a gloried stupid speaker?  I cannot even connect these stupid lead weights to my TV… is not that what any good home theater system should offer as a minimum? Does anyone else feel the same way? Any Suggestions without having to invest another dime into these speakers?

On the web it says yes, but the application tells me that it is not available in my country, do I do something wrong?

Hi,Today I bought an Ikea symfonisk. However, when I add it to Homekit, it shows up and I can name it and set the room and so on, but when I play music (tested with Spotify in Symfonisk and AirPlay) the ”icon” in Homekit says that nothing is played, and when I press to open Ikea symfonisk in Homekit it also shows that nothing is played. Also tested automations, e.g. Pause music when a lamp activates. But nothing happens. What is wrong?Ikea symfonisk is connected with wifi

Has the low volume for alexa/google voice been fixed in beam gen 2  beam gen 1 has been no good for 12 months +

Can someone please explain me  I want to understand that is it possible to control Sonos speakers with 3r party Automation App for example : Control 4 , Crestron or Saavan .Is it possible to control from all these. apps ?? And which is  the. most successful brand for automation with Sonos Products ??  

Hi all! I’m having trouble getting my new Arc setup registered into the HomeKit ecosystem. I have three other One SL’s throughout my home, all of which had no problem being discovered & added within HomeKit. I just setup the Arc, Sub & SL’s within the Sonos app, all was pretty seemless and grouping them as ‘one’ was much easier than I expected. Now that I have that completed within the Sonos app, it’s ready to be added to HomeKit just as my other One’s were, but it won’t discover when searching. Any ideas/fix? Part two to that question, will I only have to discover/add the Arc to HomeKit since the sub/SL’s are all binded together as ‘one’ within the Sonos app?  Off topic. Is TruePlay really the secret sauce to bringing this setup to life? Coming from a similar Vizio soundbar/surround setup, I don’t want to say I’m necessarily disappointed but I’d say I was a bit underwhelmed. The bar sounded a bit narrow, which is opposite of pretty much all reviews professional

I tried out https://speakerscenes.com/, just to see what the offering was. I’d now like to de-authorize this app (since it accesses my Sonos setup through the API). However, I don’t see any settings in my Sonos app, the Sonos website, or this third-party app. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi, we have a Ring doorbell, Sonos Arc and Alexa. We have had this set up since April no problem. There is a routine in place to tell the Arc if the doorbell is pressed to announce “someone is at the door”This has just suddenly stopped working. I have tried deleting the routine and trying again but nothing. Everything has been powered down etcThe doorbell is configured to ring on one of the Alexa Shows (as it always has been) but that is not set up to say someone is at the door but it is….Any ideas?Seems to have occurred have a SONOS update but that could be a coincidence 

Hello,Is it possible for Move to automatically group with my Playbase connected to tv using any home assistant or sensors of any kind or on routine activation? I am watching tv then go to the kitchen where Move stands. I want it to automatically group with Playbase so I can hear the tv. When I leave the kitchen I would like it to ungroup itself. Is it possible in any, proven and trustworthy way?
