Voice control and smart home

Hi, I used a Echo Dot to have Alexa integration on a Sonos Port connected to a Onkyo “Works with Sonos” receiver (but this last part is working well). I grouped Echo Dot and Sonos Port in the same group in the Alexa app, and set the Sonos Port as default speaker. In Italy Audible service is not available among Sonos services (just incredibile… but this is the situation). However, you can indeed use Audibile through Alexa. I noticed the following: if I give the Alexa command through a Sonos One I have in my system (in another room), book reading comes thru my amplified speakers (“Alexa read the book in the kitchen”) if I use the Alexa app and select the group said above, book reading come thru my amplified speakers if I give the Alexa command through the Echo Dot (in the same group as Sonos Port, with Sonos Port as default speaker) Alexa won’t execute Audible through Sonos Port, but through the Echo Dot. This does not make sense to me. Note: using the Echo Dot with supported services li

Hi I'm currently experiencing a problem using Alexa on two different Sonos speakers (a One and a Move) and was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. The issue I am having is when I play a song on my daughter's speaker, it starts fine and continues to play until I go into my son's room and ask Alexa to play a song on his speaker. This causes the first song in my daughter's room to stop and the song in my son's room will continue to play.  The set up I have is two Amazon accounts using the household sharing option within the Alexa app, two separate Spotify accounts with one each assigned to the Amazon accounts mentioned and the accounts have been set up separately on each speaker (the speakers will say which Spotify account it is streaming from before it plays a track) If anyone can answer my question or find me a solution I'd be grateful as this problem is rendering my multi room set up useless in regards to using Alexa because both my kids want their own speakers in their

I had a Sonos Connect in my system and it worked with my Alexa Echo very well….. recently I upgraded to the new SONOS port….. Now whenever I select Pandora and a station Alexa turns on the Port and I get my music in my office but within 2 minutes it stops playing….. I can turn it on with my phone app and it will play for hours. I can ask Alexa to play Tuned in radio and a local station and it will play for hours but as soon as switch and I have Alexa play Pandora in my office it will play for less than one song and stop playing…. I have no idea why and I have no problems with anything from the App or Tuned in radio. Only Pandora…. 

Can you control lighting with Philips Hue bulbs using alexa on sonos move?

Trying to integrate my 4 sonos speakers with my alexa app and its just not working. I search for devices as instructed and my nest heating is appearing as are my hue bulbs but no sign of sonos. I have updated both the sonos and alexa apps. Anyone any thoughts?

So, all of the sudden my single Sonos One Gen2 cant broadcast because it says there are no other Google Home devices on the network. No network changes have been made. There is a Sonos One Gen2 pair as surrounds in my living room that can broadcast without issue as well as a Beam in the bedroom. I've tried resetting the single Sonos One. I've tried resetting the controller. I've tried removing and re-adding Google Assistant. Nothing works. Any ideas? EDIT: I see the "Somos" spelling error but I typed this on my phone and can't edit the title. 😂

Hi,  I have a sonos one gen 2, and Spotify premium account. Whenever I ask Alexa to: "Play [song] by [artist]" it always says "Playing [artist] radio". I've tried unlinking, and relinking accounts and services/skills in Alexa and Sonos but still no luck. I also get Spotify ads (not third party) so I guess it thinks I have the free Spotify? I'm stumped. 

When triggering a routine within Alexa she announces that "audio device in routine is not supported on this device", and then carries out whats in the routine. How do I get rid of this "announcment"?

Has anyone got a method for grouping and ungrouping Sonos rooms using Google Assistant? I've tried IFTTT etc but can't find a way.

Hi, recently, I have tried to use the German Radio Paradise Alexa Skill on my Sonos One. It acknowledges my command and responds with “Playing Radio Paradise”. Unfortunately, it then does not play the station properly, All I can hear is a crackling noise every few seconds. I tried already deactivating/ activating the skill und rebooting the Sonos One with no improvement. The skill works fine on my Amazon Echo device in the same network. Any ideas? Best regards Chris

Noticed microphone light off on Sonos One.  Tried to turn it on by hand, no luck.  Unable to communicate verbally with Alexa.  Looks like everything else checks out besides mic.  Is there something I am missing?  Is there a test function to determine if and why mic is not working?  Light is definitely off too.   I am able to stream music to the speaker via bluetooth.  I am unable to voice command any services or skills.  Checked with Amazon support regarding any possible issues with my account (Alexa), they said everything looks good with my account, Alexa, and wi-fi connection.  Assuming now that it is either a software/app/setting or a hardware problem.     Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 

My Sonos one microphone is not working. I have multiple Sonos devices in the house and they are all working.What I’ve done:Rebooted Reset to factory settings and re-added Turned off Sonos Skill in Alexa, then turned it back on.I still cannot get it to work. Any advice?

I have installed the beam, enabled the alexa skill and the beam is there as speakers on the alexa app, but when I try to add alexa as a voice assistant in the sonos app it says "there was a problem adding alexa". Any suggestions?    One of the main reasons I bought this was because its smart as it came with alexa so it's a bit annoying to just have a dumb Bluetooth sound bar staring at me

Hi, help please.  Last week I purchased a Sonos 1 and although I have succeeded in getting Alexa working I am having one problem. I listen to BBC Radio 2 a lot and although I can get this Sonos 1 to play BBC Radion 2 using the app whenever I ask “Alexa play BBC Radio 2 in Bedroom” instead of playing BBC Radio 2 I finish up listening to BBC Radion 2 Cymru!  How can I get this speaker to play BBC Radio 2 using Alexa?

I have three Sonos devices in my current setup, all connected to Google Assistant (GA). Two are Google One: gen 2's and I'm seeing some interesting behavior on one called "Master Bath." To be clear: GA works most of the time on each of them In each case, GA is fully responsive through the target speaker, but says the device itself is "not available right now." "Master Bath" is a unique name on the network Master Bath is visible to the Google Home app and to the Sonos app when this happens There is no outage currently reported at https://status.sonos.com/ Several times, I have started music (e.g. Ok, Google, play Led Zeppelin or stream MSNBC, etc.). Then, when I say, "Ok, Google, stop," it replies, "It looks like Master Bath is not available right now." Other times, it has been quiet (I stop the playing through the Sonos app in order to get it to stop), and I say, "Ok, Google, play Jack White," and it might also reply "It looks like Master Bath is not available right now." And

I'm new here so I apologize for everything in advance. I'd like make my "family room" which consists of 2 play 5's (2 gen), playbar and sub, the default music player for Alexa (echo plus).  However, when I try to set it as the preferred speaker it has the message "incompatible speakers". If I tell Alexa to play music thru family room it works perfectly- would just like to not have to say where each time. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks    

Hi, what's the reason why Alexa isn't working in Belgium? I'm ok with using Alexa in English until there's support for Dutch. I would say the limitation is the language setting, not the country/location. Just enable Alexa for English in Belgium and I'll settle with that until Dutch is supported. I can read there's a workaround by actually registering the products in UK/US ... so this is kind of pushing people to register products in the wrong way to have features enabled. Can't follow the logic in this.

Alexa repeats the station but nothing happens. Same command to my google home brings desired result?

Hi!   I frequently come home and a family member or nanny has started playing something wonderful on our echo, probably because it's easiest to say what to play and no one remembers to append, “in the <room name>" to have it play on our Sonos.   I would love to tell Alexa to transfer music or transfer “what's playing” to the <room name>, but that command doesn't seem to be understood.    Is there a way to transfer what's playing via the Alexa app or a different voice command?   Also, is there a way to set a default playback device other than the echo on an echo?   Thanks! Jared

The preferred speaker function in the Alexa app no longer works after the latest Sonos update. It has always worked perfectly. I have disabled and reabled the Sonos function in the Alexa app and that didn’t work.

I haven’t setup any assistants.  Is Sonos listening and sending my bedroom talk to a transcription service?

I have a Sonos Beam and a Ring doorbell. I have installed the Alexa skill so that when the bell rings, an announcement comes over an echo device I have but not the Beam. I am guessing that the Beam does not support that particular skill, or am I being unduly pessimistic?

Hi all,   Im pretty new to the Sonos family. When I use Google Home and say “Play music Metallica on Sonos” my living room sonos speaker turns on and playing that. But I have more speakers in the house. How do I get Google Home to play on all speakers or a set of group as default, such as all speakers in the ground floor. I tried things like “Play music Metallica on Sonos all speakers” etc but no luck. Is this even possible?

I have some google home speakers and when i say "ok Google, play (song name)"  it plays this song and automatically plays its Radio. This is not happening at Sonos Beam. I ask a music, it only plays this music and stop. How can i enable autoplay? (autoplay is enabled at spotify)

I set up the Sonos One two weeks ago and it connected fine to our existing Sonos system. Alexa voice was also working well. The Sonos One was unplugged for several days, and when I started it back up, Alexa did not respond, It appears that the voice services in the Sonos and Alexa apps on my Android phone are active. The system plays music just fine via the Sonos app. Any ideas on what might be wrong? Thank you in advance... SDK
