Voice control and smart home

Moderator Note: Google Assistant is now available for use with Sonos. Read here for more information. It's May 2019, no Google Assistant nor update from Sonos Execs on Sonos one. This feels like a failed Kickstarter project.

Sonos One acts on all commands except swtitch/turn off. Very annoying. Please help

This is rather annoying. Periodically, I will hear a chime from my Sonos One without saying the trigger word `Alexa`. This may be because I've placed the device right next to the TV. Is there any way to mitigate these false triggers?

Can’t figure out the correct google assistant command to tell the beam to switch audio to tv output instead of Spotify after listening to music. Any one figure it out? When i used Alexa, it was “switch beam to tv”’or something similar. If it matters, I’m also using a Logitech harmony to control the tv through assistant integration.

Hi there, I already read some posts about other people heaving problems with alexa's voice volume on the Sonos One. Some say it's not loud enough, when they have low music playing. Some say it's too loud. For me, the problem is, that Alexa is way too loud. When I mute the Sonos One and ask Alexa a question, she responds at a volume absolutely inapropriate. So I won't ask Alexa a lot in the evening, because I'm scared to wake someone up. Is this just normal on the Sonos One, is this a bug? And is Alexa supposed to be muted, when the Sonos One is muted? I would appreciate any advice. Does anyone have similar experience with the Sonos One?

I have recently got the Sonos One and find that although the volume of the music played may be set to low the voice volume of Alexa is too loud. This is especially true at night. Is there any way of correcting this?

How can I Control the tv volume verbally with the alexa? I have Sonos Beam, One Gen 2 and can get the elxa to control the alexa music voice etc verbally but cannot get the alexa to control the turn the tv on off nor turn the tv volume up down. Is there a solution? Thank you!

I bought 2 Sonos Play 1 setup in my dinnig room, I have one Alexa echo in my bedroom and one Marshall Woburn Speaker with another Echo dot in my living room. Is there any way i can play multiroom music playing in my devices at the same time?

I have recently purchased Sonos One with Alexa. However when I ask Alexa to read a kindle book she will give a summary of the book and then say sorry something has gone wrong.

Ok. I will explain this the best I can. I have a number of different Sonos speakers that appear to not be compatible with Airplay 2. However. The house I have just moved in to has Sonos speakers fitted in the ceiling of every room in the house. If each set of speakers needs a Sonos Amp then the set up will get very expensive. Can an I use any other lower priced amp with these speakers? Is is there anyway I can use my old Sonos speakers on airplay by connecting some kind of device? Thanks!

I just bought a Sonos One and its working very well. I cant find any way to mute the microphone. Theres no option anywhere in the app (windows/iphone) and it seems theres no physical button on the sonos one? How do i get the mutebutton to work and show that its muted?

Whenever I say "Alexa, play x song", she replies with"x song by x artist from spotify, sorry that device is offline". I have spotify premium so I don't understand why it does not work.

I recently added a Play Bar and two Sonos Ones to my Play 5. I also have one Amazon Echo and three Amazon Dots. All of my Sonos speakers are connected in a group I call “Downstairs”. I have also added two of the Dots to the group. If I ask Alexa to play music on “Downstairs” from any of the Alexa devices (either Dot or the Sonos Ones), the music only plays on the Sonos speakers, not the Dots. Music plays just fine on the Dots if I don’t tell it to play in the group. I have disabled the Sonos Skill and re-enabled it, no change. The Dots, of course, don’t show up in the device list on the Sonos app for grouping there. Is there any way to get the Dots to play in this group?

Looking for an update on when Alexa calling is coming to Sonos One. Just got a Echo connect for home phone but useless with my current set up of Sonos Ones

I successfully set up my echo dot to control my sonos speakers. It will play radio stations and change from radio to streamed music but it won’t respond to my command to stop playing. I have disabled and renabled the sonos skill and rebooted my echo dot. Any help would be appreciated.

Let's let Sonos know we would like this feature added. We've all spent years cultivating music we own, and we'd like to listen to it using the new voice control feature that Alexa has added. Thanks!

Just bought a Sonon One in Singapore - It is advertised to have Alexa voice service but upon setup the app simply state: Voice service, not available in your country? Is this correct, how do i get it activated? Right now the Sonos One - is no different from my Sonos Play 1 that i wanted to upgrade.

I just bought the One and thought it would be easy to get setup. It keeps telling me to register my speaker, but it already is register. Getting read to send back at this point if I can not get this to load.

My Sonos One, with the right skills enabled, cannot find my Philips Hue (gen 2 hub) system. Tried everything that was mentioned in other threads: reinstalling skills, resetting the Sonos and the Hue, removing Alexa from Sonos, etc. One remaining think I can think of is that my Philips Hue lights are connected to my home wifi network, while my Sonos system (Playbar, 2x play 1 and now a Sonos one) is connected to my router with one cable. I think sonos then creates its own wifi network that is different from the home network which makes Alexa on Sonos One unable to find the lights... Not sure if this could be the reason but if so, how can I fix this?

Hi there, I was tidying my wiring over the wekend and when I powered up again, Alexa will not respond my Sonos Beam. I checked the settings on my Alexa app and voice is enabled. I deleted and reinstalled both eth Sonos and Alexa app, but still no change. Has anyone got some ideas of what I can try next, thanks in advance (:

I've tried on my Beam, a Sonos One Gen 2 in my kitchen and my Sonos One Gen 2's as surrounds in my living room. None of them will play a broadcast message no matter where it originates from. I've checked for updates, everything is up to date. All of them will send a message but non of them will play any. Otherwise, the GA seems to be working fine. This is quite inconvenient though. Hope there is an update to fix this soon.

Sonos Alexa keeps saying it can’t play because I need to enable the skill. I have followed instructions given to me by Sonos tech earlier today but it’s not working. Any help very welcome please

November 1st 2918 SONOS wrote a blog post, postponing the launch of Google assistant on SONOS one and beam to 2019. No date given. The post ender with this: Stay tuned. We look forward to sharing another update in early 2019! We are now well into April and there is still no word on a launch date. Only new commitments at CES that this will launch in 2019. So what is it going to be SONOS? When exactly will you launch Google assistant, that you promised people more than one and a half year ago, when you started selling the one? Please answer this simple question SONOS. You owe that much after all this time of stalling.

Trying countless permutations of commands, it seams that my default HDMI input in the TV has changed. Its not ideal, but for now I switched the HDMI cables and now when I ask alexa to turn on the TV, its on the correct HDMI input setting. The tv is a vizio. Does anyone know how to switch HDMI inputs within the tv via Alexa?
