I see there are multiple threads on this but from 8 months ago.
i recently bought my mother a Move 2 and set her up with Sonos voice so she doesn’t have to reach for her phone or iPod to start music.
She doesn’t want Alexa or anything cloud based so the Sonos voice processing on the device etc made it an easier sell.. great I thought.
She is in her 70’s and so wants to listen to bbc radio 4 most of the time but the ruddy thing started playing some random artist when I asked for radio 4, when I asked for bbc radio 4 it told me it couldn’t.
I have read the replies on here and now understand it doesn’t work. 1 such comment was interpreted as a feature request, another was stating it was a bbc sounds incompatibility… given I have added bbc sounds to the Sonos app, so sonos know she has a valid account and the app can merrily play the bbc radio selections with no issue… I don’t understand why this isn’t a thing. Even if I had to add an extra prompt like “play bbc radio 4 from bbc sounds” or similar (given default is Spotify).
Please can you clarify if this is ia feature in progress, or a feature that can’t be implemented without changes bbc side?
I really don’t want to go down the Alexa route, and having a partial access Sonos voice capability seems a bit odd, given the apps can do bbc sounds.
