Voice control and smart home

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???

Hvornår kommer der stemmestyring til Sonos one i Danmark

I've been searching for the answer for this for a few days and I suspect it is simply "doesn't work like that", but hopefully someone can help me. TLDR: Can I tell Alexa to play music on all Sonos speakers if the speakers are already in individual Alexa groups? --- I have a couple of Sonos speakers with Alexa built in, all works well, and I love that the integration keeps improving over time. I'm trying to get to grips with Alexa groups and it's not working how I expected. I have a Beam in the lounge, and a One in the kitchen. They are in Alexa groups with other devices in each room, eg Alexa group "Lounge" has some smart lights and the Beam as the preferred speaker. I have it set up this way so that I can say things like "turn the lights on" without specifying the room. I can request music in the same way "play blah" and it works, and I can say "play blah in the kitchen" from the lounge and that works too. So far so good. What I want to be able to do is say "play bla

Hello, since I have upgraded my sonos system to 10.1 Smartthings integration is not working. Could you please fix this? Thanks

Sonos Beam + 2 Sonos 1 + Sub (TV setup), separate Sonos One. Re-occuring issue when using Alexa with Amazon Music. Sonos plays only one song from the playlist/radio etc and stops. Saw many threads before and used a workaround few times: https://en.community.sonos.com/amazon-alexa-and-sonos-229102/sonos-one-only-plays-one-song-at-a-time-6817646/index1.html But currently nothing seems to be resolving this issue. Steps from other threads no longer work and really seem to be outdated as Alexa menu changed.

Hello there - I need help regarding my Sonos One and Sonos beam speakers with Alexa. When I ask Alexa a regular odd ball questions she responds just fine something like “how far is the moon” or “who won the game last night” - but when I tell her to go through my flash briefing she says “here’s your flash briefing” than crickets/nothing happens..... or something like “play John Mayer in Apple Music” and she responds “to do that, the skill needs to be activated in the Alexa app.” Or something of that nature. The thing is - all of these things are enabled and music/media accounts are all linked up. It was working properly before but now it doesn’t seem to work ever. I even when as far as resetting all 4 of my speakers (One; 5, Beam, and play 1) and restoring factory defaults and re set up all of my speakers. I am definitely at a loss. Any help or feedback is definitely appreciated - sucks I paid this much money for speakers that the wireless “voice” functionality doesn’t work. Thanks

Hi, when someone is using Alexa in the kitchen it makes my speaker go quiet in my study - which is obviously annoying - how can I stop this ?

Hi, Looking at replacing my echo dot in the bedroom with a Sonos One. Will it work with the amazon smart plug I have set up for lights? Thanks, Andy.

In my lounge I have a playbar linked to my TV (by optical) with two play:3 as surround sound speakers. The TV also has a google chromecast. I have strange effects happening which might relate to the impending google home integration release but I am not part of that beta as yet ..... If I ask google home to play music from spotify to my chromecast it play the music on the playbar and the play:3 speakers remain silent or almost so (probably is surround sound mode). If I stop google home playing and use Sonos to play music to this 'room' then the play:3 speakers play the music as well as the playbar. If I then stop the Sonos sourced music and then ask Google Home to play music to the chromecast again then the Play:3 speakers play the music at the same volume that Sonos was playing them at. Also if, whilst Google Home music is playing, I group two rooms in my Sonos app (2nd room has another play:3) then the Google sourced music plays in the second room which it would normal

The voice of Alexa on my sonos Beam is too low, if i turn up the volume it turns the volume up on EVERYTHING not just the Alexa voice, i think it should be separate how loud you want alexa or how loud you want the speaker to play. Is there a FIX yet? please help.

So I have a Sonos Beam in the master bedroom, and a Sonos One in the ensuite, The space is not huge, sp when you command "Alexa", both are responding. My understanding was the the Sonos devices with Alexa built in used Amazon's ESP (Echo Spatial Perception) technology that would allow both to listen, then chose the closer one to respond from, just like other Echo devices. This is not working for me. No matter where you are in the room, BOTH respond. When I called tech support they didn't know what I was talking about and told me I had to mute one of them. Not really a great option or how I intended to use them when I bought them. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Is it possible to stop the volume drop that occurs when someone uses alexa via one of the sonos speakers? I'll be listening in another room and it causes my music to drop in volume. This can be annoying. I understand why you'd have this occur in the room you are in but if someone in the loving room uses alexa to turn on a light my music shouldn't drop in volume in the bedroom.
