Voice control and smart home

Hi! Anyone knows if Google Assistant works with Nest using Beam? thanks!

I'm trying to set up the Alexa Sonos Skill, and keep getting the following message. I've waited and tried multiple times to do the skill, and keep getting the same message over and over. I'm logged into my Sonos account, so it's not an issue with Sonos. For some reason, Amazon isn't letting me connect and set up the Alexa Skill. Any ideas?

Hi all, wonder if this is common or if I'm a lucky one! I ask my Sonos 1 'play radio 1' it replies 'bbc radio 1 from Tune-in' but no sound plays. Same with asking it to play from my Amazon music Library (Prime). It says 'playing X on Amazon music' but no sound plays. If I manually play the same radio or music via the Sonos App it all works fine. In the Alexa app the Sonos skill is present and enabled. I've tried restarting my router and Sonos devices. I've uninstalled the voice controls and re-installed them. There is an echo dot in the house that uses Alexa to play from My Amazon music library and Tune-in radio just fine. Just wondering if the device itself is faulty and I need to return it, any experience to shed some light on it? Cheers.

Everytime i ask it to play music, tunein or do anything with the speakers, it just says: It looks like the "den" isn't available right now. Den is my stereo pare speakers. Please help? I've tried removing the service and reinstalling google assistant, restarting router, unplugging and plugging my speakers.

Hi Alexa worked perfect Tuesday evening Wednesday evening she says she will do what I ask her but nothing happened have to use the app on phone

If I have a google home, or assistant on my phone, can I control my Sonos Play 1, 3 and Player units?

Hello, I have just purchased a Sonos Beam, which is now on its way to me via Amazon, and I wondered if this is going to be able to be used as a full Echo device replacement? I know you can't use 'drop in' or 'messaging' features, which isn't a problem for me as I don't use those, but I do have a Hive home heating system, which can be controlled via my existing Echo device (e.g. adjusting temperature, turning the heating on and off) and I'm wondering if I will be able to do the same but via the Beam's in-built Alexa? Likewise my Neato robot vacuum cleaner... Best wishes, Kaje

Now that Google Assistant is compatible with Sonos Speakers, can you connect an external Google Mini to control the Play 1 speakers. (similar to previous Amazon Alexa devices). Thanxs for your feedback.

So there it is.. a gigantic fail. In short: Sonos finally shows up on Google Home but as a device rather tan WiFi speakers. One can control Sonos playback from Google Home, but cannot use the speakers freely. This means no Sonos speaker integration to a Home Group, no using a Sonos speaker as a "default speaker" for another speaker.. none of that. I've waited all this long just to be able to extend the music I play in my living room (5.1 stereo hooked up to Chromecast) to the Play:1 I have in the kitchen and today I found out a huge "close, but no cigar". Anyone else feeling the rage of a thousand dragons or just me?

Hi, Will you be providing support for Google Assistant for Sonos speakers other than the Sonos One and Beam? I have a number of non-One/Beam Sonos speakers and several Google Home devices at home and have been hoping since the announcement that Sonos was going to provide Google Assistant support that I would be able to use it on my system. However, without retrofitting the rooms in my house that already have Sonos speakers with new Sonos Ones and Beams this would not be possible. This is because dooing so is simply too expensive and wasteful (e-waste-wise) for somebody that has already invested in a number of your speakers, so I would like to ask if you will provide support for Google Assistant with orders placed through a Google home device for other non-One/non-Beam Sonos speakers.

After completing the update, I keep getting an error when I try and add Google Assistant. It says not connected to WiFi, however it still functions normally. I have a Sonos One.

Below is my summary for my environment. I have 2 Sonos One (gen 1 and 2 that formed the stereo pair), 2 Play 5 (also formed a stereo pair), and 1 Beam in my family room. After today update that allows Sonos to work with Google Voice Assistant (thank you Sonos for making it happened after all) - The Beam works but one of the Sonos One (the one with Gen 2) does not work. Somehow, the light from that Sonos One (gen 2) microphone array turns off comparing to the Beam and the other Sonos One (gen 1). I am not sure why it behaved that way but I already power cycle that Gen 2 Sonos One (no luck yet). Do you have any fix for it or there is a way to make it work and response to Google Assistant? Please assist if anyone runs into the same issue. For your info, I submitted a ticket directly to Sonos support today but I tried to see if someone knows. Thanks for your time.

I have a fairly large backyard that was already setup 2 pairs of outdoor speakers powered by a Sonos Amp. Everything was great, except that I found myself constantly wishing I could control the system by voice as I could do from within my house. There were other smart lights and such that I also wanted to be able to control while outside, not to mention the normal Alexa questions about weather and such. I had a spare echo dot that I could bring outside and plug in when I needed, but I found that it wasn't really that practical. For one thing, there wasn't a single place I could put the dot where it would cover the yard very well. What I really needed was a way to place several alexa dots throughout the yard in permanent spots, and protected well from the elements. Here's what I came up with. The general idea is that a cheap outdoor speaker could be the perfect container for an echo dot. The trick would be to find one that would fit a dot, hold it firmly, and allow the dot to hear an

I have set up my Samsung TV UE40NU7120 with Sonos beam but cannot get the "turn off tv" control working. Whenever I say "Alexa turn off the TV", the response is just "ok" then nothing happens....

Been waiting for Google Assistant for over a year. Bought my Sonos system because of the promise from Sonos that Google Assistsnt would be available in late 2018. Very disappointed. Moderator Note: Google Assistant is now available for use on Sonos. Read more here.

Hi, Yesterday I aquired a 1st gen play 5 that I though I would use with my Echo Dot using line in but the volume is all over the place. You can barley hear Alexa's voice but music, radio and news reports boom out. I have had a play with the line in settings and also the auto play volume but I can't seem to strike a balance. Does anyone else have this setup and managed to sort things out? Thanks for any input.

So it seems since the 10.1 update I can no longer set my sonos beam as the alexa enabled device in a group. This means I have to say the room name to change the lights for example rather than just saying lights and it take effect in that room/group. Where I could previously tick my sonos device under the applicable room/group it no longer let's me tick and will only let me select an Amazon device I.e dot, echo etc

Want to pair new gen 3 echo dot to playbar, so alexa can speak through the playbar and I can hear her. Is this possible or was I miss lead when I purchased playbar?

After setting up my new Beam, I was distressed to discover that I can't change the Alexa Wake Word. My boyfriend's ex-wife is named Alexa, so no "Alexa" in our home! I was planning on changing it to "Computer." Since I can't, I've disabled Alexa. I was looking forward to the voice control because my eyesight isn't great and using voice control is easier. I've had to disable Alexa. Sonos, this is a big issue for people - please fix. Also, since changing the Wake Word is standard on other Alexa-enabled products, this dysfunction should be stated in the product description.

With the Sonos App and Spotify Premium my family can play different songs in different rooms on Sonos speakers. Using Alexa on Echo Dot if I start music on one speaker (e.g Office Sonos) then go to a separate Echo Dot in another room and ask it to play a different song on the Sonos speaker in that room (e.g. Dining room Sonos) the music stops playing on the first Sonos. I am assuming this is some limitation of the current integration between Alexa on Echo Dot and Sonos but was curious if anyone else had experienced it?

Hete’s a practical solution from the side lines. Turn off the mike on the Sonos Ones for now, spend $60 and get an Echo Dot, change its wake up word to “Echo” or “Computer” and use it to control all yhe other Sonos speakers in your household. You’ll get to continue to enjoy the superior sound Sonos products offer, and have the added benefit of making free phone. calls to Canada and the US that Amazon did not licence Sonos to have with the the current Sonos Alexa partnership... Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater music lovers, especially over $60... ?? ❤️my Sonos

We recently purchased a Sonos One and installed Alexa. It worked for about a week and now Alexa is gone. No chime. Nothing. Where did you go Alexa?

I'll be at a music festival where wifi is unreliable at best. I know I can get a Lightening to RJ45 ethernet adapter, so I'm thinking I can play my music on my sonos 1 through the ethernet connection. Will this work? Any tips/suggestions I should know so I can make it work?

When I first connected my Sonos One and assigned it to a room, Alexa would "turn on the light" and "turn off the light" just like the Echo Dot that was there before. A day later, it stopped understanding "the light", and I now need to say the room name + light. On this forum I read that this is yet another unadvertised limitation of the "Alexa-enabled-not-really-Alexa" Sonos One. Ok... but why did it work for a day, then stop???
