Voice control and smart home

I apologize if I missed this, but the only answers I could find searching the forum where older. With the release of Amazon's Multi-Room Music SDK (MRM) and the integration of Alexa into the Sonos' One speaker, is it still true you can not play synchronized audio between an amazon echo speaker in one room and a Sonos' speaker in another room? i.e. You can not create a group that contains both Amazon echo speakers and Sonos speakers that will be synchronize together for music playback. Thank you in advance for answering this question given any current hardware/software updates.

Alexa turns TV on/off, volume up/down, but will not change channel. Receive "Family Room TV doesn't support that. Anynet+ is turned on the TV.

Can anyone help, I've finally got the beam to turn on and off my tv. The issue I have now is when I ask Alexa to turn on or off living room lights the tv also comes on and off. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks

So I got a Sonos One, thinking it be great with Alexa. I thereby added an Echo Dot to my collection, and I must say there is a big difference in functionality between an original Amazon device, and an "Alexa-supported" device. Front of mind I`m thinking about adding the Alexa device to a group in order to turn on / off lights by just saying "Alexa turn on lights". I would also like the ability to have multiroom-speakers by using Alexa, and being able to use Alexa routines without Alexa replying "Audio device in routines not supported on this device). So I`ve been thinking. Should I return my Sonos One and get: 1) A Sonos Play:1 connected to a Echo Dot? 2) Ditch Sonos and get an Echo 2.gen instead? I really like the sound quality in my Sonos One, but music is not my first priority. Smarthouse is and functionality is. Perhaps the wrong forum, but I reckon there must be users here who have been trough the same thought process.

So, I'm upstairs in the shower listening to my morning podcast and it mutes itself every 10 seconds. Come to find out my wife was in the kitchen using Alexa to make a shopping list. How do I turn off this muting "feature" for Alexa? Or can I assign the dot to a single room so the whole house doesn't mute everytime someone wants a knock knock joke or the weather.

Just bought an echo dot and added my sonos system which consists of in-wall speakers around the house and individual sonos connects. The dot is in the kitchen and when i tell alexa to play something in the kitchen it often times plays thru the dot and not the sonos speakers. How do i correct? I never want music playing thru the dot. Is this issue becuase the Dot and Sonos are both called "kitchen"? Should i relabel one? If so, which one? Also, i find that after i have Alexa play a sirius station in a particular room, if i try to play that same station in another room using the Sonos App, the station is blocked. Any way around this? Thanks!

Hi, I live in Denmark, and I've tried setting country to both UK and US on Sonos.com Still my app says voice control is not active in my country. Any ideas?

I don't know how to connect my Sonos One to Siri. Opening the Home app to add an accessoryif I click "don't have a code" the choices are bridge or manual code. The directions here on this site say that the speaker will just appear and I select it, but that doesn't happen. I tried awakening the speaker too, still nothing. What do I do (no code in my sonos packaging)

Hi all. I have a set of stereo paired Sonos Ones. I have manually disabled the microphone on the right speaker by pressing the button on top. Today I disabled Alexa by going to [Settings - Room Settings - Living Riving Room (L+R) - Voice Services]. When I followed the same steps to re-enable, I was surprised to see that the app turned the right speaker's microphone back on. Seems to me that a manually disabled microphone should not be able to be turned back on through the network. It's a potential privacy hole. Have others noticed this, and has Sonos stated whether this is expected behavior?

Hello- I have my Apple playlist on Sonos, and I know that I have to start the playlist from the Sonos App. When the playlist is going however, if I say Alexa "Next Song" or "Skip Song" the response I get is "What do you want to play" or "Undefined". This command used to work and now it does not...does anyone know why, or has had similar problems and solved them? thanks

If I buy a sonos one to control a sonos amp and I put them in group mode and I ask alexa a question, will alexa answer in both the sonos one and the sonos amp? Ideally, I would like to put them in group mode, turn the sonos one volume all the way down (so that the sonos one sound doesn't confuse the sound in the room coming from amp and my main speakers), and then be able to control what the sonos amp plays (or says) by using alexa in the sonos one? Effectively, this would be the same thing as having alexa built into the sonos amp (rather than merely having alexa "work with" the sonos amp). Does this work? Any downside to doing this other than cost? Alan

AirPlay suddenly can't connect to my two Sonos One anymore. Music via Sonos library works fine, so does radio via TuneIn. Restarted both iPhone and speakers to no effect.

The If Alexa is integrated into the Sonos One, will we be able to play Apple Music content on a Sonos One using voice control of Alexa?

I have a Sonos Play:One is a few rooms and have just bought a Sonos One (with Alexa) as a first step into bringing Alexa into our home. My plan was to have a integrated unit upstairs and then add an Echo Dot into the kitchen and lounge over time. So far I have the Sonos One set-up (haven't played with it much yet) and added one Dot today but haven't got very far. I wanted to check what I intend to do is possible and seem to be having some trouble getting set-up. 1. Use Alexa to control music through the Sonos system - presumably this is possible and from reading it seems this should be the case with or without the Sonos One. 2a. When asking the Dot to play music (in the kitchen) it simply plays music through itself, not the Sonos and in some cases has kept playing the existing track on Sonos and a second track through the Dot - what do I need to ask/teach Alexa to do here? I don't want to play music through the dot, just control the music. 2b. As above but if I say play

I have two ONES with Alexa working on them. Alexa does not control any of my smart devices it just says " sorry I didn't find a device named " my Amazon dot controls all the devices with no problem. Please guid me so I can use my ONES.

I want to change the standard setting of alexa as the wake word to computer, which is a standard option under alexa but is not showing with the sonos integrated software

Hello I’m based in the UK and recently bought an Amazon Fire TV stick (2n generation) in the Amazon Black Friday sale. I thought it would be simple to plug Fire stick in and use Alexa to control my TV inputs etc. However it appears I don’t have the input option on this particular amazon fire stick. I think this works on the Cube but we don’t have that in the UK or the TV edition verion 3. At the moment I can turn the TV on and off though CEC and the beam + Alexa but I would like to control channels and switch to my sky box Input etc. Which amazon device do I need? Also when I did have the input selected manually it would not launch the program such as “stranger things” just brought up the icon. Thanks in advance

I finally got alexa to recognize my sonos 1 speakers. When I give the command to play music on sonos, alexa states that amazon music is streaming on two divices and asks if I want to stream on sonos. I answer yes, and the music plays on both devices, alexa and the sonos speakers, when i say no, the music only plays on alexa. I only want the music to play on sonos...How do I do that.

I recently changed my location to Czech Republic (where I really am) in Amazon settings and no longer able to use Sonos skill in Alexa to control my Sonos Play:1 speaker. Now I get this error message trying to install Sonos skill: "You are not eligible to enable this skill due to geographical restrictions". I've just walked through similar topics here, and looks like people from other countries like Slovenia and Portugal have the same issues. I understand, that it's likely because Alexa doesn't support Czech, Slovenian, Portuguese, etc. languages, therefore the Sonos skill is enabled there, but is it really an issue? I think Alexa and Sonos users don't care that it's in English at all and want to use their Sonos controller together with Alexa. Now it became useless for me because of this strange restriction. So, are there any plans to enable it in EU countries? Is there any way to enable the skill bypassing this limitation? Thanks.

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT ! I bought a Sonos One. I just wanted to be able to use the Alarm, in Musical mode (via Spotify, TuneIn, or Deezer), as a Radio-clock radio. "("Alexa, please wake me up at 7:30, with the Beatles, on Spotify") This is a very simple feature, which can logically be expected from the Sonos and Alexa wedding. ...Only Sonos Customer Support tells me that this feature...is not available. TO TOP IT OFF : This function already EXISTS with Echo, Alexa's vocal assistant ! https://mediafeed.org/amazon-alexa-can-now-wake-up-with-music-heres-how/ Whatever their reasons, Sonos and Alexa should allow us to use this feature as soon as possible!

Just got a Sonos One from UK but app says Voice Services not yet available in India; also Alexa added Sonos skill but unable to detect device. Is there a timeline when Sonos likely to enable voice for India?

Sonos Skill not available in India. I have Amazon Music subscription from India. I wan to use that. Can someone help.

I bought the new Amazon Echo Plus in Mumbai, India and since then have been trying to get the Sonos Skill on it. It just does not show up. How can I get this?

I have had a Beam now since launch and I love it. I have only recently enabled Alexa for Spotify streaming to my Beam and that works great, bit I am becoming frustrated with having to launch the App to change the Beam input back to my HDMI-CEC TV. Is there an easier way to do this? I have tried commands such as "Alexa, change input to TV" Is this just the way it's set up or am I missing something?

My last topic had a strange title so i try again: Hi I know that this is very new, but does any one in here have experience with a setup using a receiver with "works with sonos" I´m in the proces of buying a new receiver, and would like to get an idea of how the implementation is running.....are there any registered delays in sound, if you have the system set up with other units....is the app running smoothe with this "extension" and so on
