Voice control and smart home

I have set up a simple 2 step routing to turn on two smart plugs simultaneously through Alexa. This works 100% find on a dot but I get an audio recording of "Audio actions in routines are currently not supported on this device" every time I run it from my Sonos One. How do I make this irritation go away!

When I turn off my Sony X900H using Alexa, the TV goes off but the green mute status light comes on the Arc and stays on. Anyone else having this issue? Any Advice? Thanks.

Hi, My Sonos One used to work with Alexa but I changed to Google to try that before trying to switch back.  Now Alexa won’t work.  I’ve tried reinstalling both apps and re-registering speaker etc but nothing seems to work.  I’ve read some similar problems with ‘Beam’ but following steps still didn’t work For me.  The only reason I got this was to use for voice services so if it doesn’t do the job it’s a deal-breaker.    Has anyone any further suggestions before I return the Sonos for a refund? thanks David

Hiya. Has anyone experienced issues with Google Home dropping Sonos devices? When I open google home it does not list all my Sonos speakers. what is odd is if I unlink Sonos and reconnect to Google home it lists a different subset of my Sonos speakers - or has connected to some it wasn't previously connected to and dropped previously connected ones! So it can see them it just is not consistent.Ihave a similar issue with Assistant in that it won't connect to all available (those that can work with assistant) - if I tap on voice settings in the Sonos app it shows the other devices as untucked but when I select them and it launches Google Assistant it says it can't find any devices.

What do i need to do so sonos searches idagioi added idagio because search of classical music with apple is so bad (Even worse with sonos).  But sonos doesn’t seem to search in idagio at all.if that doesn’t work the whole thing is useless to mejpc

I want to use my Spotify Premium subscription on my new Sonos Move.  I can do so no problem via Google Assistant, but I’d like to be able to use Alexa instead.  When I set up Alexa as the Voice Assistant, it works with everything else eg telling a joke, the weather.  But when I ask Alexa to play music, I hear:First enable the skill for your Sonos Move in the Alexa App.  Then ask me to discover devices.I have spent literally hours and hours restarting, making sure Spotify is enabled as a skill etc etc - I have selected Spotify as the default music app.  If I ask Alexa to discover devices, she says There are no new devices to discover.I can play Spotify with no problem on the Sonos Move if I control it via the Spotify app on my iPad or phone.  Incidentally, if I ask Alexa to play eg BBC Radio Two, she says Here’s Radio Two and plays the BBC Sounds jingle … then nothing.  Nada.  Silence!  So Alexa is essentially good for nothing musical.  She seems utterly incapable of playing music via v

I have a Google mini and a Sonos play:3 in the same room. Since the play:3 does not have voice, I have to ask the Google mini to play the music. If I just say: "hey google, play some music" the music plays on the mini which is definitely not what anyone wants... I have to say the room where the speaker is but not only that, if I setup both speaker in the same room the mini still gets the job. You can set default media playback device for the Google mini but no Sonos speakers can be selected. Is that it? Is that what we waiting so long for? Cause if that's so, I'm getting rid of all of this and just getting Chromecast enabled speakers. Please let me know I did something stupid and this can be fixed.

I am trying to set up Google Assistant as my voice assistant on my Sonos One.  During the setup process in the Sonos app, I am prompted to download the Google app...but the Play Store gives me an error when I try to install the Google app.  My phone has the Android Go operating system installed...and Android Go devices contain the “Google Go” app rather than the “Google” app.Is anyone aware of a solution or workaround to this problem?  I just bought my Android Go phone for the sole purpose of setting to set up my Sonos One, so I don’t want to buy a second additional phone.  I also have an older android tablet that has the Google app installed, but it won’t let me install the Sonos app...whereas my phone lets me install the Sonos app, but not the Google app.

All, hit a problem today controlling Sonos through the Alexa App and Echo Dot… was all working fine until today when it just stopped. I have tried loads of things that were recommended on multiple threads with no joy….. so I decided to start from scratch. I set up all my Sonos again, from fresh… all these are working now and function correctly through the Sonos App… well I say working… teh Sonos App will only connect when I am in teh same room as my Play 5 (first speaker to be set up)…. it used to only work when I was next to my router… SKQQ router with a SKQ main receiver and 2 mini boxes. I then go onto Alexa App and try to enable the Sonos Skill…. it takes we to api.sonos.com and asks me to sign into my sonos account. I do this and then I get a message to ‘Register my speakers’… go to Sonos app - More>settings>account settings. My speakers are all shown in ‘systems’…   I hit ‘I’ve fixed this’ but it takes me straight back to sonos signin on api.sonos.com…. and then just loops

It’s been 5 weeks since I was able to successfully connect to Airplay on my Play:5’s and three Play:1’s...all upstairs...all on the same wifi network. This worked until it didn’t. I’ve: Factory-reset all of the offending speakers, choosing different names than they were before. Completely reset my Orbi router and satellite and built the network up from scratch, including over 50 smarthome devices. Restarted every device on the network. Moved the devices that DON’T work downstairs to sit next to the devices that DO work. Moved the non-working speakers to every area of the house with a power outlet in an attempt to get a “better(?)” wifi connection. I have purchased two Boosts (one for the downstairs, the other for upstairs). It didn’t make Airplay work and even made network connectivity worse than before. (I have since disconnected both of those and continue to regret that purchase.) None of this brought me any joy even as Airplay continues to function perfectly on those speakers

I bought a new Beam on Jan 5th. I connected it to my 12 month old Samsung Smart TV (Series 7) using the supplied ARC lead and it began working fine. Then, a few days later the TV wouldn’t switch on and I could only resolve the problem by disconnecting the power to the TV and after waiting a few moments reconnecting it. Since then this has been happening every few days.  I’ve checked that the remote works OK.  I thought the power supply to the TV might be the issue so I have now connected the TV directly to a wall socket instead of using an extension cable.   Samsung’s support asked me to check to see if the TVs standby light was on, off or flashing. At first I couldn’t find any standby light (it’s very feint and downwards projecting onto non-reflective surface) but when I did I noticed that when the TV was switched off it was flashing intermittently.  I disconnected the Beam and the light stopped flashing. When I reconnected the Beam it came on for a few moments but then resumed flashi

Hey guys! I just purchased my Sonos Port yesterday with the intention of using it in conjunction with my Alexa Devises and creating a whole-home audio system. I have an Echo Dot that I wanted to use in the living room to control the Sonos Port, and Alexa speakers throughout the house. I enabled the skill for Sonos in the Alexa App. I made the Sonos Port as the “Preferred Speaker” in the room in the Alexa app, but when I go to change the echo dot speaker to use the “Preferred Speaker” (The Sonos) it doesn’t work. It still plays on the Echo Dot speaker. I tried it on my other Alexa devises and it does the same thing. On top of this I cant add the Sonos Port to a group through the Alexa app to accomplish the whole home audio I’m looking for. According to Sonos it should be able to work.  The whole reason for getting the Sonos was not only to play my online library though my surround sound, but to have whole home audio in the house. I have an Alexa Amp that gave me the whole home audio set

My Sonos Beam and Move products don’t recognize my routines that I have set up in the google up. Can anyone help me fix this?

Alexa integration was working great with my old Play 5’s. Got a new pair of Sonos 5’s, set them up, they are working fine with S2 controller. I can play music from both Spotify and the Alexa app on the iPad and drive the 5’s. But if I try to play music using voice commands to my Amazon Echo, I get an error “sorry, on kitchen is offline” (Not sure why the message includes “on”). I’ve tried ideas from the forum, including disabling and reeanabling the skill, logging out of apps, deleting and adding the devices in the Alexa App, rebooting absolutely everything, none of that works. Especially odd that playing music from the Alexa App/iPad works, but voice commands to the Echo don’t. Any new ideas? I’ve spent over an hour fiddling with these new speakers and am thoroughly stuck. On the Services & Voice tab of the S2 controller, there are sections “Voice” and “Music & Content”. Under “Music & Content” I see Spotify and other services. The “Voice” section is empty except for “add

I’ve gotten my daughter a sonos one so that she can play her own music (she doesn’t have a mobile of her own yet so speaking to the speaker felt like a good solution). However any music started from google assistant takes over my music in the rest of the house. Has anyone configured their system to allow for two speakers connected to google assistant that can play different songs on different speakers  simultaneously? I use Spotify family subscription and separate accounts. Can anyone point me to the solution?

Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant do work in South America on other devices. But Sonos app have them blocked. Why is that?  If you by Alexa Dot, Google home or other smart speaker they do work on Ecuador. Only Sonos have them blocked on their app.  ​​​​​If I new this I would have bought the Sonos One (SL) version instead.   ​​​

Hi,   Is it possible to group speakers through Google Assistant? For example saying “Hi Google, play x in the kitchen and the living room”. It doesn’t seem to work for me.

I have set up a Sonos surround system (Playbase + 2 Sonos Ones) with Google Assistant.  I would like the Google Assistant to respond out of the RIGHT Sonos One surround, but at this time I believe it is not possible. I have tested and tried every combination of setting up the speakers without success.  When the Sonos Ones are not paired as surrounds to the Playbase, it is simple to add GA to either of them.  When they are paired as surrounds, the assistant can only present in one of them--which is understandable as the system recognizes the three speakers as one unit.  The default speaker Google Assistant is added to is the LEFT Sonos surround.  There does not appear to be a way to change this. I originally thought it may be defaulting to a certain speaker due to a naming preference--like it a naming appearing first alphabetially.  This is not the case--I tried every combination of unpairing and renaming the devices and testing.  I thought perhaps it was a case of a preference for cert

There have been a few posts on this, but I wanted to add another one. Please integrate with Google Podcasts!

Please find here under the description of the issue I have with the incorrect behavior of the app Mymedia for Alexa used in an Amazon Echo 8 configured with a default Sonos system:Description here under is based on an Echo 8 with my Sonos Port but is also valid with any of my Sonos equipments ( I have a PLAYBAR + bass + 2 Sonos 1, a Sonos 5, and a Sonos 3)First of all a quick sum up of my configuration:I use the last version of mymedia inside a docker of my Synology NASThe version is currently 1.3.133.0All my music is also in the NAS and except a very few exceptions uses the m4a formatI have a Amazon echo 8 configured to use a SONOS PORT as the default speaker system. I also have a Amazon Firestick 4 K configured to use the HDMI in pasthrough toward the TV set linked to a SONOS PLAYBAR via optical.Both systems Echo/Port and Firestick/TV/PLAYBAR don’t work “Don’t work” means that when I ask to play an album, I have the first track only of the album, the picture of the album only a few s

My Arc and Beam randomly make a sound or tome similar to the Alexa attention tone.   But when they do it there is no reason.  There is a quiet house.  And then [TONE]. ….   What’s causing this?   I could understand if people are talking and it mis-hears an “Alexa”It drives my wife crazy.   Or maybe it isn't Alexa...maybe it just makes its own noise?

Here’s the issue I’m having: I pair my Sonos Beam to my Amazon Alexa account. Everything is working great for a day or two. Then, Alexa stops responding to me after a few days. However, if I manually hold down the mute/mic button on the Beam, Alexa still works.I used to think it might be an authentication issue with my Alexa app. But I’m signed in and shows my Sonos is online. It’s also weird that I can still manually use Alexa by pressing a button on my Sonos.For whatever reason, voice just stops working with Beam. Exact same issue with Google Assistant. It just stops working.Anyone else experiencing similar voice issues? What’s the fix?

Here’s a strange one! I have a pair of Sonos Play 3 speakers linked to an Alexa-controlled Amazon Dot. The system has worked perfectly for 2 years. This week I upgraded my Amazon Music account to HD. Since then the system will play any music I choose but when I ask for any Beatles music I get silence. I have tested the Dot by isolating it and it will play Beatles just fine but as soon as I link it back to the Sonos speakers I get silence and Alexa says ‘Sorry there is a problem.’ I have contacted Amazon Customer Services and after re-setting and re-starting the Dot they can find nothing wrong with it. Any ideas? Thank you.

My Sonos One microphone touch control is not working, if anyone has an idea what might be wrong then tell me please.
