Voice control and smart home

I have a Playbase with two Play:1s as surrounds, I also have 2 Ones in a different group. They play music fine with no delay when grouped together but I can't figure out how to get the Ones added without a delay when grouped with the surround pair while watching TV. Any suggestions?

I have the echo dot running through my 5.1 in the living room and I have the play 1 running via a windows 10 in the dining room

Sonos One and the Echo are both set up through the Alexa app, but when I say her name she only responds on the Echo. If I ask her to play something, she'll also only play it on the Echo - is there any way for her to automatically play whatever I've asked her to on the Sonos One at the same time so that they're always in sync? Otherwise is there any point in having the Echo, since if I can get her to respond on Sonos I may as well just use that since the speaker it's so much better...

Is support for Google Play Music subscription in the works? That's my preferred streaming service and unfortunately I do not see it listed in Alexa supported services. Any plans to add it please?

I've set up a POP button to run a Harmony Activity which has Sonos play my MP3 tracks on my laptop as a queue with shuffle. The POP starts / stops or Skips forward or Backwards. This seems like an incredibly complicated way to do it but I cannot find any other easier way. I don't want to use the Sonos App since pressing a POP button is far easier than using a phone or tablet. The problem comes if the power is cut, you have to not only reboot everything but then get Sonos and Logitech to find each other. Is there an easier way of doing this? Also any way of getting the Sonos to also play through the Echo Spot speakers?

I have a Sonos One and the sound is great but unfortunately it's lacking the full functionality of the Echo. So I'm looking to replace the Echo I have with another Sonos to get the great sound but can't decide between getting another One and not getting everything that the Echo can do or linking an old Echo Dot I have, or maybe an Echo Spot to a Play 1 What experience Do you all have with an Echo and a Play 1 and what would you advise Thanks

I would like to see the ability to initiate playback from Apple Music via Alexa. Apple Music is the only service that allows me to stream radio to my Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular, so, it is the only service I plan to use across the board. I cancelled my Spotify Premium account (even though it offered playback via Alexa to Sonos, with the exception of radio...) because it does not have an Apple Watch app thus it does not allow radio steaming to my watch. Is this integration in the cards?

I have 5 Sonos One speakers in various rooms in my house. Alexa is very responsive and always hears when I am speaking to it and only responds on one speaker. My problem is that it often responds on the furthest speaker away from me. I could be in the kitchen just a few feet from that speaker and the speaker around the corner and 25 feet away will respond. Anything I can do to fix this?

When I ask alexa to play music on my sonos one, it only plays one track and then stops. please advise.

Hello, Needing some help, My sonos play 3 is all connected upto Alexa and Sonos however, I cant control it via Alexa as it keeps saying my Sonos is Offline. Sonos is working fine via the Sonos App and I cant figure out how to get it to show online and work via Alexa - Any ideas?

I ask alexa to play an artist in in the living room. The first songs plays... and then nothing..... It seems like SONOS is not playing the alexa Que?

If wanted to set up a play 5 and an echo dot via 3.5mm jack and the sonos skill enable in the Alexa app, will this set up do the below Play music directly from Spotify on the sonos, ie it’s not playing from the dot through the jack onto the sonos? Give full voice command control of sonos eg volume up, next track etc etc? Do regular echo dot commands like tell me a joke get play out of the sonos?

For roughly the past week, I have been having trouble streaming KPCC (Los Angeles) with Alexa on TuneIn through my Sonos One. Previously, it was working fine. Other stations seem to work okay, but importantly, KPCC works fine when I try this on my Echo Dot. So the problem has something to do with Sonos. When I say, "Alexa, play KPCC" OR "Alexa, play KPCC on TuneIn", Alexa either remains silent or says "KPCC on TuneIn Live is currently not available." But if I say "Play KPCC on iHeartRadio" it works fine. It also works fine playing other radio stations on TuneIn. As I mentioned, the station plays fine through my Echo Dot, but if I say to my Dot, "Alexa, play KPCC in Living Room," the Sonos is silent. So, again, it seems like a Sonos issue. Anyone else having similar problems on TuneIn with this or other stations? Is this type of problem something Sonos is aware of? Thanks.

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’ve got the Sonos One all set up but it won’t play radio stations via TuneIn. Alexa acknowledges the request stating “Playing TuneIn xxxxx radio” but then doesn’t play anything. I’ve disabled and re-enabled the Sonos skill in the Alexa App but still doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

I have just bought a Sonos One. The sound is great. The Alexa integration doesn't seem to work well. A lot of the skills just don't work. Audible is really important for me and I thought it would be possible to play through Alexa. It tells me it is about to play my book..but nothing happens. Audible is 80% of my use case. I might have to take it back

Loving my new stereo pair of Sonos One’s. I can’t quite get Spotify working correctly. The account is linked to Alexa. I can request albums or songs or shuffled artist and they all play from Spotify. However, I can’t get my playlists to play. Alexa says she can’t find them. And in the Alexa app under Spotify it says App Support Unavailable. I really hope I can get this working. I am an Apple Music user and really only subscribed to Spotify for to use with Alexa until Airplay or Siri is partnered with the One. Thanks for any suggestions.

The new Justin Timberlake album "Man on the Moon" came out Feb 2. It's now Feb 17 and Alexa still can't find it. She has no problem finding others, such as "1989" by Taylor Swift, but why not a newer album? I'm using the exact phrase from the commands help page, and interestingly she repeats it back to me exactly correct but still can't find it. How do I get the latest albums available for playback?

You can ask Alexa to turn her music off after a designated amount of time, but apparently you can’t do that on Sonos via Alexa? And I don’t see it listed as a feature coming in 1.0

Does anyone know how to get Audible to play via Echo on my Sonos system? I can get Alexa to play Audible, and I can get (in a haphazard way) Alexa to play some things on my Sonos, but I can't get my audible book onto my Sonos system.

Hey guys, I just wanted to say how loud and frustrating not being able to control Alexas voice volume separately on a Sonos One is. When Im going to bed and setting an alarm or turning off the lights, I dont need Alexa shouting and waking everyone else up in the family letting them know what time Im going to wake up. Not really sure why one cant just set the alexa voice volume at one level no matter what. I dont think most people want to have to ask Alexa to turn down the volume to 50% before putting in a voice request, every single time, nor will they remember. %

So I have two sonos one speakers, one amazon account and a spotify family account with 4 people on it. The issue I am having is when we play music downstairs in the kitchen and then my son asks alexa to play his upstairs it mutes downstairs. we have the multiple accounts set up in the sonos app so i know we can use these as a controller but seems to make alexa a waste of time. is the solution only to have two sonos systems for individual people? how the hell do you set up alexa multiroom! so far not impressed with alexa!

I have been following Mr Kumar's thread for some time (~ 3 months) for Alexa Integration in india. Hoping Sonos have it on priority, I ordered my Sonos ONE and now its at my desk... without any tricks though. I admit the audio quality leaves everything behind right now but then what about other things that this ONE has to do over SONOS 1??

Set up the new Alexa/Sonos intergration app last night (UK) worked fine last night but no longer works this evening. The Alexa app can see all my Sonos speakers and if I ask Alexa to play some music on one of the speakers she says that she play selected music on selected speaker then nothing plays. Back to the Sonos app.

So.......... I have a sonos one in the kitchen (with built in Alexa). I have just purchased an amazon echo for the bedroom (also Alexa). I can be in the bedroom and ask Alexa to play music in the kitchen, and vice versa, and that all works fine, but trying to get the music to play on both seems impossible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Cheers
