Can Amazon Echo connect and control a stereo paired set of Play:1’s

I have renamed my play 3 from Kitchen to Pub. If I use Alexa (Dot or Play ONE) and ask it to play music in the Pub it won't play. If I rename it to a standard name, garage, kitchen, patio, whatever it works just fine.

Hey, I have just been gifted my 4th Sonos device today, a Play One. I am very, very, very disappointed at Sonos. This advert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poR1jLLoObA is just misleading, as it conveys the idea that "you can stream *YOUR* music" using Alexa. As I now know, this feature is not included. A respectable company like Sonos should know better. Please do something to remove this misleading advert. This is ridiculous.

hello all :) I have a problem on my echo dots if I ask alexa to turn volume louder or lower alexa turns the volume on the dot not the sonos ?

I just got Sonos One and already had an account with Amazon Music Unlimited. Whenever I try to stream different songs to different rooms, Sonos One Alexa says it can only stream to one room. What gives?

I tried setting groups in Echo app and I only get music to play out of all Sonos speakers at same time regardless of what I tell Alexa. I read here that the Alexa app does not currently recognize groups. So I want to go back into Sonos app and create a few groups. I don't see how to do that. I only see setting up a pair of speakers (like stereo) and that is not what I need to do. I want to group my Play 3 with my Play 1 and also pair my soundbar with my Play3 to have different rooms. As I understand I can then instruct Alexa to play "group name" (set up in sonos) and it will recognize the ones set up on Sonos

I can not select Spotify as my music source in Alexa app, in fact Spotify it not an option anywhere. I have the latest software and firmware installed. Any help is appreciated.

I have a playbar, sub, and two sonos ones acting as surrounds in my living room. The devices that I have in my living room would be considered mine. However, I also have two sonos ones in each of my kids bedrooms. Each of these belong to my kids and they need to be able to have their Alexa Profile assigned to their sonos one for many different reasons. When I setup these speakers for my kids it automatically signs in under my Amazon Alexa profile and it will not allow me to change it. So now my kids are unable to ask Alexa to play their own playlists through Spotify because it is linked to my account. They also don't have access to any of the features that comes with having your own personal profile in Alexa. Unfortunately, Amazon only allows you to have two members in your Alexa household. This currently allows my wife and I to switch between our profiles and play our personalized playlists and access our Alexa profiles. You would think that Sonos would allow you to sign into a differ

Is there a way to have music play on Sonos and the Amazon Echo at the same time?

I noticed a card on my Alexa home screen last night notifying me that the play 5 in my kitchen had become available as an Alexa device. I have already synced my Sonos and Alexa accounts and have been using them together for a few days, but this notification seemed to indicate that I should be able to speak directly to the play 5 as if it were an echo. I haven't been able to actually do this though and was also confused as to why that was the only play 5 in my house that was made available for this function. I thought maybe I was going crazy but there is a link there to set up Alexa settings for the speaker which are the same settings available to edit for all of my echo devices. There is also a link advising me to visit the Sonos site for a full list of commands available for this speaker, but I couldn't find anything there. I dropped a screenshot here to hopefully avoid all the know-it-alls who will be just so excited to try to explain to me that the play5's mic isn't far-field and so

Just doesn't seem to work. Alexa says "flash briefing" (which is an idiotic name) is starting and then nothing happens...I've checked all the proper boxes the Alexa App...even checked and unchecked different news sources...nothing. Silence. Anyone have any thoughts?

LOVE the progress made with Alexa and Spotify.... name a song and a room and it plays! It came at the cost of losing access to my Alexa Skills “ The language you selected does not match your Amazon account settings. As a result, Alexa skills are not available. To get the best Alexa experience, please choose English (Canada) by selecting continue“. A blue bar that says CONTINUE is below the above statement. When I click on continue, it just takes me to a list of my devices which include fire sticks and my Sonos components. Amazon support claims its a Sonos issue, I disagree.

Can we envision to control Philips Hue lights with Sonos one in the near future?

I currently have two Play 1's and Playbar and Sub. If I were to purchase an echo dot to go along with my system. Would all audio play through my Sonos system or only music? From what I have been reading it sounds like only music services will play through the Sonos. If I were to ask Alexa something like, "What is the weather going to be like today?" Would the response play over my Sonos speakers or the Echo Dot speaker?

Hi everyone, I've bought a sonos one 2 months ago and set it up with Alexa. Everything was working fine till a week ago. I bought 2 play 5 and adding them to the sonos skill. For that I had to reinstall my wifi. So I basically deleted everything out of Sonos and did a hard reset on the one as well and then added each speaker to the new wifi. Set it back up with Alexa. Long story short: the one is located in the bedroom. Play 5's in family room. Asking Alexa to play in family room works like a charm. However asking Alexa on the Sonos to do something seems impossible. If I look into the Alexa app I see Bedroom in skills, in settings I see bedroom (and below it says online) and then bedroom sonos. Before I only had 1 (which was bedroom with online below) and that worked. If I say play in bedroom, mmm to do that enable skill. When I say play music in bedroom sonos it does it. Changing the name to bedroom or anything else will cause Alexa on Sonos to say I'm having trouble co

I have purchased the new Play 1 with built in Alex. I can stream music from the radio, but it will not allow me to access selected music from Amazon Prime /Music. Is there an issue or do I need to use another on line music provider?

Hello all, I have fully bought into the Alexa controlled smart home... I have two WeMo smart plugs, four Echo devices, five Hue lights, and six Sonos speakers. I was very excited to upgrade the Echo in my kitchen, my most used one, with a new Sonos One. However, I had trouble getting Alexa on the Sonos One to respond to my commands, and the Echo in the nearby living room would almost always answer. After reading about connectivity issues, I spent significant time reloading apps, rediscovering devices, relinking services, and restarting my extensive home network (I'm a software engineer in the networking industry), all to no avail. Sonos One Alexa would still not respond to me. However, I did discover a solution that was quite basic... and frustrating.... I have to pause speaking after saying "Alexa" and wait for the Sonos wake up tone before continuing with my command. Alexa on the Echo will consistently respond to "Alexa, what time is it?" when spoken at almost any speed a

With the release of the Sonos One, will the Play 1 drop significantly in price? The One is essentially the Play 1 with the Echo built-in.

Hey everyone, Firstly, I have scoured threads relating to Alexa and Sonos, but haven’t seen anybody ask or answer this question. I currently own one Play:1 and have been waiting for the announcement and details of the Alexa skill before expanding my Sonos range throughout my home. With the recent details of the new Amazon Echo, I was thinking this could be a good option for smaller rooms, rather than another Play:1. So, let’s say I buy two Sonos One when they release - I create a stereo pair in my living room with these, then I have a Play:1 in my dining room with an Echo Dot, then I put a new Echo in my bedroom - if I were playing music on my living room Sonos pair, could I then also play this in my bedroom at the same time on the stand-alone Echo? I’m not sure this would work because of the cross platform and also how grouping works in Sonos (I don’t own any Echo products, which may be why I’m asking this question), so thought I would ask those who have both! Thanks

I have a new SONOS One. Added Skill to Alexa. Added Bathroom Play 1, Bedroom Play 1 stereo pair & Living Room Playbar+Sub as devices. Created group of all in Alexa named Everywhere but Alexa "Can't find Everywhere". What am I missing? Thanks, Kyle

I have two Play-1's set up in different rooms as separate speakers (not left/right paired) and want Alexa to play the same channel on both speakers at the same time. I know Alexa has Multi-Room music but from what I can tell it only allows Alexa devices and doesn't allow Play-1's to be included. I can get a music channel to play on both Play-1's but the music isn't sync'd.

I'm excited to hear that Sonos is finally voice integrated with Alexa. HOwever, I've had no luck getting it to play over my Sonos speakers. My accounts are connected, apps updated, etc. Spotify will play over the dot and echo, but when I ask it to play in a particular room I receive an error message. I can play Tunein stations, Amazon music, etc. But nothing from Spotify. I've set Spotify to be my default player in Alexa app, but still no luck. Anyone else having this issue? Ideas on how to make this integration finally work?

I registed my Sonos one to an Amazon account. Now I'd like to move it to a different account. I have removed it from the Amazon accoynt but cant seem to link it to the new account. Tech support provided me with instructions to switch the music service but I want to move it entirely.

Hello, I couldn't find anything on this. Does the Sonos One work with the ADT Alexa skill to turn my alarm on and off? I know the Sonos One has limited Alexa skills out of the gate, so wasn't sure about this one. Thanks.

Day 1 of owning my first Sonos One. I notice it cannot play back my audible book and cannot read my kindle. It recognises the libraries for both but then nothing happens. It also has split functions between two profiles for one device - "bedroom" and "my name Sonos" - for example on the Alexa app notifications and timers can be made for one and alarms for the other - but not all three for one profile.
