Smart home integrations

Hello, I’m running various Sonos zones throughout my home via Sonos Amps (9 of them) which power speakers in different rooms.  Since installation, I’ve always played music just fine via Airplay connection to the speakers throughout the home.  The issue I’m experiencing is that I’d like to add the Sonos Amps to Apple HomeKit so that I can run automations to play music at certain times, and also direct Siri to play from a Homepod or Phone to one of the Amps.  As I go through the process in Apple Home to add an accessory, all of the amps show as options to integrate, but the process continuously fails.  I’ve rebooted all amps.  I’ve rebooted my router and other smart home hubs. All amps show as an accessory ready to be integrated into Apple Home.

Please integrate Sonos with Samsung SmartThings locally. 

Afternoon all. Appealing to experienced hands as always as I’ve had no success to date with this onePreviously I purchased a 1st gen Hue Sync to add to a Panasonic GZ2000 running with a Sonos Arc, Pair of Sonos One’s and a Sonos Sub. The TV also had a Roku stick, A Nivida Sheild and an Apple TV box. But I could never get it to work and returned it. This was maybe three or four years back.Now I’m in the fortunate position of being able to set up a new room, again with a new flagship Panasonic, a Sonos ARC Ultra, a pair of Era 300’s and a new sub and would again like to try at adding add a Hue Sync. Most likely we will add the same Roku, Nividia, Freesat and Freeview boxes. Not sure how many HDMI’s are on the Panasonic …. I think 4 … its the Z95B.Possible to get any set up guidance from those having success here please? Or any limitations? Or is it even possible? I know there was a 2nd gen Sync launched a while ago but can’t see any real data on what sets t

Hey Sonos, hear me out... (this will never work but, let's try it anyway). To regain trust from your customers after the App redesign, you could decide to open up your systems to OpenHome and allow users to add their custom voice assistant with home assistant.This would be huge, there is a big community of makers and your devices are great and will easily be adopted as main voice assistant devices.If you compare the quality of a Sonos Era or One SL to the voice assistant preview from home assistant... it's like night and day.Let us add a custom voice assistant via API to our devices, people don't care much anymore about Google Home or Alexa. Let us have privacy and customization.Sincerely, one happy customer that would love this feature.

Hi. I have a Netatmo Smart Video Doorbell and had it connected to my Sonos speaker. I got a message via the speaker every time someone rang the door. But it stopped working. I have tried resetting/rebootingthe doorbell and taken it off Apple Home and reinstalling. I can now see it in Home (and it alters me on my phone when someone arrives, but I can’t find the doorbell when I try to automate a connect with Sonos via Home’s “New Automation” and “An Accessory is Controlled” option. Which other help instructions said would connect up the Netatmo with Sonos. Does anyone have advice on how to make this connect?

Hello,I’m planning to build my new home cinema (bar + sub + satellites), but I’m using siri to control my home, so one prerequisite for me is to have siri integration. I see you are creating you own vocal assistant but to be honest I am far from understanding this, what we want is one powerful assistant for everything, not yet another limited assistant from each vendor.. Hopefully this doesn’t conflicts with any potential Siri integration ?Especially since Apple plant to use generative AI now for Siri and make more intelligent, I would like so much to be able to use Siri from my home cinema.  I saw denon added it to their denon home system, do you plan doing it aswell ? Else I think I’ll need to go with denon, but I wanted to compare first and maybe wait a bit of something was planned from other brands. Thanks

Adding my voice to the mix (excuse the puns) because it’s incredibly important to me and a large portion of Sonos’ customer base.Supporting the integration of Home Assistant Voice - just wake-word integration like the existing Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, would make this the ultimate multi-room audio setup for smart home users. Sonos would become the number one pick for all smart home users, providing options for cloud or local voice control of smart home integrations, plus high quality consumer sound systems. It’s your market to corner!Please, Sonos, consider working with the team at Nabu Casa to provide support for local voice control of Home Assistant using your smart speakers! 

Hi everyone, mods please move if this belongs in another section.I recently solved an issue that I think may help others who are using Harmony remotes with Sonos.The problem is that when Sonos devices are included in a Harmony activity, the remote often hangs on “Connecting…” for 10–15 minutes, and sometimes doesn’t connect at all. This happens both on initial startup and when switching between activities. Harmony has to handshake with all devices each time, and since Sonos speakers don’t have power states and no longer respond properly, Harmony just keeps waiting for a reply that never comes.As many of you know, Logitech no longer supports or updates Harmony, while Sonos software continues to evolve. Over time this has made the integration unreliable, to the point where it can prevent Harmony from starting up or switching activities smoothly.Workaround: Remove Sonos devices from your Harmony activities.

Hi,my top question is on how do I add my Symfonisks (that I already added to my Sonos app) to the IKEA Home Smart app? I already forgot how I managed add the one I have there and can not find how to replicate my victory. I find that the IKEA app is way more responsive than the Sonos app for some reason and I hope to add another Symfonisk remote to Symfonisk in my other room.I also would love to know if there are any good resources that perhaps you used to migrate your system from Windows to Linux, I my ultimate goal would be to have my thin client to run Linux store all the FLACs I bought and use jellyfin for movies and stuff.Thanks for any tips :)

Hej,I bought two IKEA Symfonisk lamps for my home. I use Apple Homekit. I have an IKEA gateway. The lights added to HomeKit without a problem, and even the remote controls for the lights. However, I can't add the speakers to Apple Homekit :( Why?What's the solution? --ve

I have a Sonos system integrated with Control4. One Sonos ARC in the living room and a Sonos Amp in the dining room.When operating thru Control4 app, if I select to watch something in the living room (where there’s a Sonos ARC), that works fine, but then I am not able to group the dining room. The room just don’t appear as available to be grouped. Looks like the Control4 cannot see the path between the zones, when I am in the “Watch” activity.When I select to “Listen” something in the living room, the grouping thru Control4 works fine.I have tried several connections in the driver (between the TV and the Sonos), all of them (digital, analogic, home theater input), and never was able to group the dining room when using the “watch” activity. 

I have Sonos Setup at our new Retail place we are working on. There are total 10 speakers (combination of Era 300 + Sonos 5 + Sub + Beam). I have been researching on how to setup for Fire Alarm automation - When Fire Alarm goes off Speakers should mute or stop. We tested killing the internet which does not pass the test as it takes sometime for buffered music to stop. I have been reading about Home Assistant setup but nothing very clear.  Wondering if someone has the setup and can advise how did they achieve it?

Any news on Sonos adopting the Matter standard?

Hi, I have a few play:1 and a beam along with Spotify subscription. Can anyone recommend an open source home automation (and code?) to automatically play my Sonos with Spotify in the morning, then off in the evening?Bonus would be to eventually have it turn off if my phone or zoom rings, or when I leave the house. I also have an old echo dot I could hook up if necessary, but not sure I’m cool with Amazon listening to everything.Or, an automatic one tap solution. 

Now that Amazon is discontinuing its privacy setting (as of March 28, 2025) and will be sending all commands to its cloud servers, are there any plans to bring Apple HomeKit / Siri to voice enabled speakers?  I have multiple echo devices that I’ll be unplugging before this goes live. But I also have two voice enabled Sonos speakers (Arc Ultra & Era 100). I don’t want to migrate to Google, because they’re likely to follow Amazon’s lead on the privacy front. I enjoy the convenience of controlling lights & music by voice, but not having everything sent to Amazon servers.  

Hello,A few days ago, I noticed that my Sonos speakers were "unresponsive" in the Home app when I was away from home.After trying several things (rebooting, removing and re-adding the speaker in HomeKit) without success, I reset all the speakers to factory settings. It took some time, but it worked.But this morning, I updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 18.2.1, and the problem came back! My Sonos speakers are once again unresponsive in the Home app. Please note that I am not at home, so I can't check if it works when I'm on the same network. In any case, do you know a way to fix the issue without resetting the speakers again?Thanks for help.

I’m running Google Home, with both Nest Mini (2nd Gen) and Nest Hub (2nd Gen) devices, and a Sonos system comprised Sonos Ones and Sonos Fives.I have added “Works with Google” to the Google Home for Sonos, and set my Sonos speakers as the default speaker for each of my Google Home devices. This worked perfectly to allow me to play music from Spotify and control it using voice commands to Google.In the last few months, it’s stopped working.If I ask a Nest Mini (2nd Gen) device to play music, it works as expected, playing on Sonos as it always has.If I ask a Next Hub (2nd Gen) device to play music, Google responds and says it’s playing on Sonos, but nothing actually plays. If I start music playing on Sonos from my phone and then ask a Nest Hub what’s playing, it can tell me - so it’s as if Google can get information from Sonos, but not give it commands.I’ve tried Sonos support and didn’t resolve the issue. It had me factory reset the speakers, remove

I am writing an arduino IDE Esp8266 sketch to monitor the play status of a Sonos speaker and trigger an outlet. With SOAP responses, I can easily monitor the avTransport service using the getTransportInfo to get the currentTransportState.  But, if the speaker is grouped, that output is always “playing.” My idea is to identify the group coordinator IP and then use that device’s currentTransportState when the speaker is grouped. My issue is that when I group the speaker, the ZoneGroup Coordinator is defaulting to the same device every time… even when that device is not a part of the playing group. I assume it must have the lowest or first UUID, or something.  is there another way that I can monitor the play/pause status of a grouped speaker that is not the coordinator?  I know I’m missing something.  specs:I am using the S1 app with a variety of zp90, zp120, and play3. It’s an older system.  all thoughts and suggestions are ap

Hello Sonos Team,I recently found out that Denon has integrated Siri into their smart speakers if you already have a HomePod or HomePod mini at home. You can see the details here: Denon SupportI think this is a great feature and would love to see the same integration on Sonos speakers. It would be incredibly useful for those of us who are invested in the Apple ecosystem. Please consider adding this to your roadmap.Thanks!

How can I connect my google doorbell 2nd gen wired to a google speaker so it works as an indoor chime?

I have 4 Sonos Ports in my set up, all Ethernet wired to my network. I use my phone to play music to them, usually uttering “Siri play some music in the Backyard” (Backyard is the name of a port, in the room “Backyard” of my Apple Home set up). I also have tried picking a port in the output selector. In both of these scenarios, I see about 25% of the time, that Siri will say “OK” or the route is changed successfully in the picker, but then nothing is rendered on the speakers, even though the Apple Music playhead is moving as if nothing is wrong. I have checked my amp, my network, etc. and everything is fine.Interestingly, to recover, all I need is to turn off that route in the picker, and then selected it again, and immediately music is rendered. This leads me to believe it is an iOS issue, but I cant confirm. Has anyone else experienced this? It has been going on ever since I’ve had the ports, ~2 years or so.Since it isn’t 100% repeatable, it is slow to debug.

Hi,I am programming an Extron control processor with touch screen in order to control my Sonos Connect. Most of the functions are easy to implement, but I would like to learn more about queues, next in queue and how to make that visible on the touch screen.I am using Extron IPCP Pro250 processor with Sono_42_3829_v1_1_2 driver obtained from the Extron Device Driver Library. Thanks JJ

I contacted Sonos a couple of weeks ago and they said they had a work around for this issue.  This issue was not been resolved. I have had techicians out to deal with my Control4 and they could not figure it out why it is not working having done what Sonos told them to do.Any one else still having this issue?  Resolutions?  I have been told to remove Sonos from Control 4 but this would also eliminate Sportify.
