Voice control and smart home

Just purchased Sonos One and Alexa working well. However can I control my firestick with Alexa built into Sonos One? If not, why not?

So I got this idea to make google assistant easily work with sonos (kinda). Tell me if this should work (I didn't buy the sons beam yet): 1. Get a Sonos Beam and a Chromecast 2. Install (Connect the Beam via HDMI ARC to the TV) 3. In the Sonos App group all devices together 4. Use "Play X Song from Spotify on my TV" 5. Music plays on all Sonos Speakers (?) If this works I'll get a Beam! Can someone confirm or deny that?

When using Sonos with Alexa Echo and streaming music service (Pandora and Amazon Music), playback stops after one song. Very frustrating. I have tried disabling the skill and re-enabling to no avail. Help

I use a Shelly Button1 to control my SOSOS system and it works greate. If you have or buy a Rassbery pi and install (https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api) you can do magic without having to use the SONOS App. I think it takes to long time get the phone, start App, and then click you to the right Radio channel. Now you do that with one click on Shelly Button1. Very nice. Shelly and SONOS in a great combination.

When will Alexa voice profiles / household come to Sonos? I have a Beam and a Sonos One and love it but the Alexa functionality is really starting to lag. I live with my partner and we have different Amazon and Spotify accounts and we can't access them using our devices. The Amazon products have voice profiling that can figure out who is talking and then use their own amazon and Spotify accounts. This is super important for anyone with more than one person in a house. Can someone please update on the likely release of this functionality? Thanks 🙂

I have seen old posts about this but no solutions. I have a Sonos One with google assistant. I also have a Roam and Move. None of these speakers are able to play white noise indefinitely like you can on Google Home/Nest products. It will play 15 minutes to 1 hour of ocean sounds and then stop. This is a problem if you use white noise for kids naps or sleep. Sonos phone and email support have not been able to explain to me the problem. I have seen complaints about this with Alexa too and it’s related to some sort of time out.Appreciate if others have the same problem or know what the reason is. I imagine Google also makes full implementation of their voice difficult.

I hadn't paid too much attention to the Homepod release date, but just checked and saw that its 'December'. I'm not a retail marekting expert, but considering that the Sonos One, all new Echo and Google Home products, and plenty of advertising is out and ready for Black Friday, does this boad rather bad for Apple in this space? I kind of think it does. I know there are a lot of Apple fans out there who will wait, but if you're giving it as a gift, can you wait and hope it comes out in time and that you're able to get one. Does the fact that it hasn't even been fully tested and reviewed give cause for concern? By comparison, people have stated that the Sonos One was released early. It has it's issues and is alexa integration is beta. From a business perspective, was it better to release when they did so that they were fully avaiable for Christmas? From a customer perspective, are you glad the product is out now, vs a vague date in December...even if it's not all it can be

Hi, I have recently started to listen to Virgin Radio (via TuneIn) on my Sonos One. If I select Virgin from the Sonos App all works well, but if I ask Alexa to "Play Virgin Radio" it will stutter and not play correctly. Sometimes it will play havoc with the Sonos to the point that I can't stop it (either via the app or Alexa) and have to cycle the power. Occasionally it tells me there is an "incorrect stream". If I change the voice service to Google it will play OK. If I play other stations from TuneIn via Alexa they work OK. Does Alexa stream things in a different way ? Thanks Tim.

For 2 days now if we ask alexa for a specific song it plays and then it stops, before, after the originally requested track playback would continue buf not anymore. The twitter team is not able to help us resolve the situation. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?? Thanks.

I’ve tried multiple times to connect my Sonos system to Apple Home on both my ipad and iphone and it always fails. Home is able to detect my Sonos system (Arc, Sub and surrounds) but when I select it, the Home app continually gives the error "Unable to  add accessory. Home couldn't connect to this accessory" I've tried resetting all my Sonos products and after that's complete, the error persists. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm able to Airplay to my Sonos system from an Apple device but I can't add to home to enable Siri. Google Assistant is hopeless in NZ and I've found Alexa is error prone. Siri just works so I'd like to connect to Apple Home. 

Alexa app - Your Voice setup - cannot select devices. They show as online (both as the '5.1' group and the two Sonos Ones individually) but they are greyed out and I cannot select the device to continue the process. Anybody run into this and solve it?

I’m unable to link my new sonos one to the Alexa app. I’ve set up as per instructions on the sonos app and have downloaded Alexa app and have tried to link via the skills tab but am told to go to device set up but only given options off echo, echo plus, echo dot and tap so no option to and sonos and when attempting to add device via smart home tab it repeatedly comes up with discovery failed. Have asked Alexa to discover devices and it cannot find it. Any suggestions

Can’t add my Sonos to Apple homekit. Searched  all on the web and no solution works. Have tried everything i found. Is there any plan to solve this issue? Loosing my faith in Sonos soon if this not will be fixed imidiatly.

Every day for the past few months, the first time I ask Alexa a question that she has to go to the internet for, she responds “Sorry, something went wrong”. We have 2 users setup and this happens per user. for example, this sequence, all when we wake up:Person1: Alexa, how old are you? (Local?)Alexa: I’m 9 years old…Person1: Alexa, what is the weather today?Alexa: Sorry, something went wrong  Person1: Alexa, what is the weather today?Alexa: The weather today is…weatherPERSON2: Alexa, what is the weather today?Alexa: Sorry, something went wrong  PERSON2: Alexa, what is the weather today?Alexa: The weather today is… weatherEVERY SINGLE DAY  for the past few months

Anyone else think this should be a no brainer?

Hey guys! I just purchased my Sonos Port yesterday with the intention of using it in conjunction with my Alexa Devises and creating a whole-home audio system. I have an Echo Dot that I wanted to use in the living room to control the Sonos Port, and Alexa speakers throughout the house. I enabled the skill for Sonos in the Alexa App. I made the Sonos Port as the “Preferred Speaker” in the room in the Alexa app, but when I go to change the echo dot speaker to use the “Preferred Speaker” (The Sonos) it doesn’t work. It still plays on the Echo Dot speaker. I tried it on my other Alexa devises and it does the same thing. On top of this I cant add the Sonos Port to a group through the Alexa app to accomplish the whole home audio I’m looking for. According to Sonos it should be able to work.  The whole reason for getting the Sonos was not only to play my online library though my surround sound, but to have whole home audio in the house. I have an Alexa Amp that gave me the whole home audio set

If you are having this message "this is not supported on this device " then you must go to the alexa app and in the settings tab go to smart devices and search and add your back into the list. It will then work.

Set up Play 1, enabled the skill. Of my 4 Echo devices it only works with Echo Show but not with Echo or Echo dot. Please help. Thanks

I tried to search this topic both here and on Google. My apologies if it has been answered but I cannot find an answer. We have several Sonos Play 1 speakers and an Alexa Echo. I enabled the Alexa skill and updated the software on all of the Sonos speakers. I have the app for both. I created a group in the Alexa app called "Family Room". Under the "Alexa" heading, both the sonos speaker that I want to play and the Echo speaker are selected. In the preferred speaker section it will only allow me to have 1 of the 2 from the above section checked. I have tried it both ways. I am trying to get both the sonos speaker and the Echo to play the music together. I am able to say "Alexa, play music on Family Room" and the music will play on the Sonos speaker, but it will not also play on the Echo. Several websites seem to say that indicate that both will play (though I understand you cannot have two Echos play at the same time). Regardless, I cannot seem to play the music through both sim

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

Before I get caught in a loop where Sonos tells me to talk to Nest and Nest tell me to talk to Amazon and Amazon tells me to talk to Sonos... has anybody been able to tell their Sonos One to play a Nest camera feed on their Fire TV? It works perfectly from my Echo and Echo Dot. And requests to play Fire TV content via Sonos One work no problem. It's only when I ask for it to display my Nest feeds that Sonos One says "Sorry! Cameras don't work on this device!" — I've made sure there are no name conflicts. I've done the whole disable/enable skill and forget all/discover devices and have ulinked/linked devices in the Fire TV prefs (along with everything else I can think of). None of the usual tricks are working, so I'm starting to suspect that Sonos One can't handle video requests from Nest Cams sent to Fire TV?

I love Sonos products. The sound quality is great. However, I’m having some major problems with the Alexa compatibility. What I want to do is the absolute most basic of tasks for an audio speaker. I want to control the VOLUME, up or down, of all my Sonos One speakers jointly using the integrated Alexa voice assistant. I do not want to make 5 separate volume commands to change the speakers’ volume one by one.Now, I realize this was not possible 2 years ago, according to all the forum posts I’ve seen, but since almost 730 days have gone by since this issue was originally brought to your attention, Sonos, I’m checking in today to see if anyone has found a solution or if Sonos has written the 2 or 3 lines of measly code it would take to allow this simple and basic functionality.Is anyone there and willing to provide support for a customer who has spent in excess of $1,500 to bring your branded products to our entire home?Thank you, Ryan

I have successfully set up routines to turn off lights etc when I leave the house via the Google assistant on my sonos one but I cannot seem to find a way to add turn OFF the music as part of the routine. Currently I activate the routine which turns off the lights and have to give a separate command to turn off the music. Is it possible to integrate both commands as a routine? 

I bought Sonos One couple of months ago and connected the Google Assistant straight away. Despite the Google Assistant app was saying the Russian language not supported by the Sonos One device it actually was working in Russian - it was reacting on “Окей, Гугл” ( “OK, Google” in Russian ) and was understanding the Russian speech and responding in Russian just fine. Same as it was responding just fine in English when activated by “OK, Google”.   But (I assume) with the latest update of the Sonos about a month ago, the Russian language has disappeared. The Sonos is still can be activated by saying “Окей, Гугл” ( “OK, Google” in Russian ), but goes no further than that ( getting “Sorry, I don’t know how to help” for requests in Russian ). That’s a bit weird.   I want the Russian language back, please!   Especially considering it’s still reacting to “Окей, Гугл” !

Hi, How do you stop Alexa dipping the sound in other rooms? If I'm in the living room listening to music and someone in the kitchen asks Alexa a question, it makes the volume dip in the living room.
