Is Spanish being considered for Sonos Voice Control?

I want to stop using Amazon Alexa and Sonos Voice Control approach should work perfectly for me… except I’m a Spanish speaker and I have to awkwardly speak English to my speakers. Is Spanish being considered as a new language for Sonos Voice Control?

Sonos Voice Control and Miss Honey

Whenever I say “Hey Sonos, play Miss Honey by Eats Everything” it completely blanks me like nah gurrrl, not today. The only song it ever behaves like this when I ask for 😂

Sonos Voice Control Alarm playing only in one speaker on Era 100 stereo pair

Hi I have a stereo pair of Era 100s setup in a room. I have activated Sonos Voice Control on the right speaker.When I issue an alarm command “Hey Sonos set alarm for 5 minutes”, the right speaker responds confirming the command, however when the alarm chime sounds after 5 minutes it only plays in the left speaker and I can only turn it off at the left speaker.Any suggestion on how to get the alarm to play in both speakers? And so I don’t have to walk over to the left speaker to turn it off and can do it on the right speaker.

Sonos Voice Control Group Leveling

Recently started using Sonos Voice Control and tried using the command to level out the volume for all speakers. Sonos voice assistant shot back with a confirmation, even going so far as to say, “Setting the volume for all speakers to 20%,” but when I checked the app for confirmation I was getting different volume levels across the board. Anyone else having a similar experience? Tried doing a quick search but the only solution I found was the one I previously employed which required me to go into the app, slide the group volume down all the way, let go for half a second, and drag the slider back up.Any insights would be appreciated.

Feature Request: Sonos Voice Play Different Spotify Streams in Different Rooms

Well the day I’ve waited years for finally came today - Sonos Voice finally works with Spotify and I can use my voice to get the same multi-room music experience as I can in the Sonos app.Unfortunately, my dream of playing different music from our Spotify family account in different rooms is still unrealized.Even though Sonos Voice now works with Spotify, it appears to play directly from the Spotify app rather than through the Sonos app, making it impossible to play different music in different rooms via Sonos Voice.In short, we still need to go through the app to play different music in different rooms. 😭Could this feature be added at some point in the future?I dream of the day my young kids don’t have to fight over who gets to play from Spotify.

Sonos voice control adding a device

I have 4 different Sonos speakers in my home.  I just added voice control to 3 of them but the 4th device does not appear on the menu and did not give me opportunity to add voice control to it.  Any advice?

Sonos Voice Control and multiple Spotify accounts

So after learning today that Sonos Voice Control can finally control Spotify I quickly ditched Google Assistant.  We’ve got 4 Spotify accounts registered with Sonos and I can’t figure out a way to get it to play from a specific Spotify account. Has anyone else been able to get this working?

Sonos Apple Music Custom station based on song tailoring

I manually created a station based on a song in the Sonos app Apple Music section  If I say, Hey Sonos, I don’t like this song It replaces what is playing with something else  If I say  Hey Sonos, like this song  It says I will play more songs like this on Apple Music  Is that specifically tailored songs altering the playlist of the station based on that song  Or more generally

Sonos voice control with Deezer (as only service) will not play Deezer playlists.

As topic says, using voice control on Sonos ROAM will not play a playlist that is saved on Deezer.The command instead seem to be searching for the playlist name as a search term, and then playing those songs.Example:Hey Sonos, play ‘My Favourites’ [and various variations inclusive of service name etc] The playlist is saved in Deezer as My Favourites, and still successfully add to the list via voice command to add a song to ‘My Favourites’This featue has been the most used and why I used Sonos, as it use to work.Any suggestions? Anyone else having same issue? I found a near matching topic here [closed] I did update to latest firmware.

Intercom feature request

Hey! Since many of your products have both speaker and microphone in the same device, would it be impossible to contact two (or more of these) in a “call” with each other?  Apparently Sonos isn’t able to use Amazon Alexa drop in feature (because of missing blinking LEDs or something?), but could you perhaps make it’s own intercom feature for multiroom homes with multiple speakers? Just use Sonos Voice Control instead of Alexa/Google Assistant to enable this feature so you wouldn’t be affected by other companies like Amazon? I know I’m not alone wanting badly this feature without use of any additional echo devices. Sincerely yours,Aksulotli

Feature request: Sonos Voice turn off status lights

Just got a Beam gen2 and have been loving it. Though it would be nice to be able to say “Hey Sonos, turn off status lights” to turn off speaker lights during a movie. The option to turn off the status light is several touches and swipes to get to. It would be much more convenient way to access with Sonos Voice.

Sonos Voice Control Won't Recognize Station KNX News 97.1

I can't get SVC to recognize KNX News 97.1 from Audacy.com on my Sonos Move. I've added it to my Sonos Favorites, my stations list and added the URL with a unique name via Tunein in the Sonos App. I've also tried renaming it in the Sonos app and calling it by the unique name. I'm able to play it on my Sonos Move using the app, but want to play it via Voice Control. I've tried calling it by "97.1" and other variations of the station's call letters. I tried logging out of Sonos, re-adding voice control, re-adding Audacy under Service Accounts, re-adding the Sonos skill in the Alexa app (for my Sonos 5), resetting my router, updating Sonos and cycling power.

Custom commands for Sonos Voice Control [developer API?]

I was wondering if there are any plans to expose some kind of developer API or custom commands for Sonos Voice Control?What I have in mind is invoking a webhook with a command recognized by Sonos. I’d love to use Sonos in my home automation system e.g. by saying Hey Sonos, turn off the lights.As developer I don’t actually need Sonos to integrate with any of the home automation systems. What I would be happy to have is Sonos system to call a defined webhook with recognized words or broadcasting this with MQTT or any other common protocol.In ecosystems like Google Assistant or Alexa these are vastly more complicated, but having this kind of easy-access API would open Sonos to home automation community and similar enthusiasts.

Sonos Playlist via Synology NAS

Hi all, Just become a proud owner of a Sonos Era 100. Loving it so far and the app works very well. However, one issue I’m having, I’ve added my Synology NAS drive as a music library, I’ve then (through the app) created a Sonos Playlist with songs from this library. I can playback via the app itself, but the Era 100 will not accept a voice command to play the playlist, keeps saying that music service is unavailable. Any suggestions to fix would be welcome, I could keep a tablet next to Sonus to playback as all songs/playlists etc do work via the app but I’d prefer to use voice control if I can. Thanks in advance. Jamie

Sonos voice assistant only loading 100 songs from Amazon Playlist

My default music service is Amazon Music and when I ask the Sonos voice assistant to play or shuffle a playlist with 200+ songs and then look at the queue in the app, there are only 100 songs in queue. If I start the playlist through the Sonos app and check the queue I see the full list (200+ songs).  Is there some setting I am missing?

How to play music from my Apple Music Library by voice control

Hi, I have Apple Music and my own curated library of albums in my Apple Music Library (ie with tracks I don’t like removed). I can get the Sonos app to play albums on Apple Music via voice control, but I can’t find a way to get voice control to play albums from my Apple Music Library. Can anyone help?

Sonos Voice Control doesn't stay enabled?

So I just got an Arc, along with the Sub and surrounds. This is first week I’m using it.  I’m amazed I don’t see this more often on these threads, am I the only one whose Sonos Voice Control goes in and out? I have gone through three straight conversations with customer service the last three days about this, and no resolution. They get close but no cigar and tweaked a bunch of settings. I assume the microphone light should always be on so it can always hear your wake up command, but often it turns off, even when it’s playing music. They’ve tried everything. I’ll give it another day and then plan to get it replaced. Overall I think the system is really cool, but this is starting to get annoying.
