Voice control and smart home

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.

Hi. Playing radio from tunein via voice control is great. Also skipping tracks and changing volume is great. I’m not an online service streaming customer and never will be. I like my music local and I like to own it. When will I be able to tell Alexa to play from. My local library?? Perhaps it’s not someth8ng amazon want to let us do, but my sonos system expansion has been paused for a couple of years now due this missing feature. If a competitor launches the ability then I’ll have to swap, although ideally I’d like to remain a loyal sonos fan. It’s a definite sticking point for me though.

I just got my Sonos One today and am trying to get Alexa up and running. It is working with all of my home automation, Wink, Nest etc, but I can get Alexa to play anything on Spotify, which is my only music subscription service. She keeps saying “cannot play from Spotify music on that Device”. I have linked all of my accounts, and they show up as linked. I also do have a premium account on Spotify. Anyone have any thoughts? She does offer to set me up an Amazon music account when I just ask for a specific song or artist, then plays me a sample of the song.

Hello. I saw the announcement of the Sonos One and the Alexa integration. If I get the Sonos One, will I need to buy an additional Alexa device?

I have an Echo Dot connected to a small USB speaker. When the music is playing full volume (not really that loud) I have to shout to get Alexa to hear me. I am considering getting a Sonos One because I like LOUD music. Question is, will Alexa be able to hear me over the music?? Echo has a remote voice control which means you can talk really quietly into the remote and Alexa will hear you. I understand this control will not work with Sonos though. How have Sonos One owners coped with this? Is it a problem? Many Thanks

Please can someone help... I have set up my new SonosAlexa Voice... Everything is connected to Amazon Prime Music etc but when I ask Alexa to play a song for example Coldplay it only plays one song... even if it chooses its own play list ... Alexa seems to like Taylor Swift!! Again only plays one song :?:? Can anyone help

Is there a way to tell the Sonos One Alexa to stop playing music and go back to the TV sound? I just purchased 2 Play Ones and loving them so far! I have been able to tell Alexa to stop playing the music, but do I always have to go back to the Sonos app to get sound through my TV again? I have the Playbar, Sub, and 2 Ones.

I can't figure out what determines which Spotify account is used when telling the Sonos One to play music on Spotify? Is it what was last used in the Sonos App? For that controller or something else? Or is it what the default service is set as in Alexa?

So... Apart from not being able to get flash briefings, set an alarm or a timer, unable to change the wake word from "Alexa" and having to say "Alexa" five times for it to respond (I think she is sleepy), and apart from the fact it thinks I am in Seattle when I ask what the weather is like.... I kinda like it so far... Give the programmers some overtime... And fire the person who decided that putting the activity LED on the top of the device was a good idea. :o) *** Alarms not working as Date and Time not set in Alexa App.. All OK now***

Our existing Play1, Play5, and Bridge happily play our music library from an NAS drive attached to our airport wifi box and router. Spotify and TuneIn work too. Now we've added a One with Alexa for the kitchen to use voice control to switch between our three "sources" of music, but cannot figure out how to add the NAS as an input. We've been through the setup, updated all versions of the Sonos App updated the Sonos software, installed the Alexa app and been through the setup steps. Is this just not possible? Each version of the sonos app (mac, iOS) stores the path/credential info for our NAS. I'm no engineer, but couldn't that be stored in my Sonos account (which the One/Alexa is already linked to) so the One/Alexa could look it up and play our music library from it? Thanks!

I've got 6 echos.. with any of them I can't enable the skill.. Well, I say that.. I've clicked enable, logged into Sonos and logged into Amazon and authorised, and bam.. Nothing.. just the alexa app opens at homepage. I then go into devices or skills... No sonos devices, no sonos skill! I've clicked voice services in sonos app and I end up in this constant LOOP of enabling it's ridiculous!! I've run discovery by voice and app, nothing. All firmware bang up to date as of even today's update. Could someone please save my sanity to just play some fekkin music through alexa!

I have Amazon Dot connected to my Sonos Playbar and pair of Play 1's. I have an Amazon music account. Normally I can ask Alexa to play, for example, Roxy Music on Living Room and it will play through my Sonos. Today if I ask the same Alexa says it cannot find music by Roxy Music. If I ask it to play Roxy Music without saying on Living Room it will play through the Dot with no problem!.. Odd thing is that if I ask Alexa to play Radio 1 on living room then it works fine? Everything was working perfectly yesterday... Any ideas?? Thanks in advance

So I have finally everything set up the way I want it, walk in the house and say ONE command to Alexa, and everything turns on (Smart plugs, My Routine in Smartthings that turns on music in the living room through my Sonos + hue lights and I set up a group in Alexa to also turn on my smart plugs (patio lights, xmas tree, other non-hue lights) + scenes for the hue lights. So, everything is good but I want to know if there is anyway where I can set a specific song to play in this scene/group/routine situation I have going on??? I have seen quite a few things discussed here about how Smartthings has basically killed the integration it used to have with Sonos but I've also seen people recently saying they DO have there Sonos integrated with Smartthings so I just wanted to ask the question. I apologize in advance if I'm not using the right terms or am just being stupid but I'm stumped at this point. If someone could please tell me how I can control my music/sonos in more ways th

A strange thing happened last night. Put my two kids to bed and one started music on her Play1 (they like to fall asleep to music). This was done in the normal manner using the app. Music played as expected. The other daughter then asked for some Xmas tunes, so searched and started playing a Xmas album from our music library, again in the normal way using the app. The Xmas music was a bit loud so tried to turn it down using the iPad physical buttons. The volume indicator in the Sonos app moved as expected but no change was actually made to the volume of the music coming from the speaker. I tried a few times with no effect. The app then locked up and was not responding to anything at all. The Xmas music then stopped on its own. I decided to close the app down (double click home button and swipe up as usual on iPad) and try again. When I reopened the app the room had completely disappeared from room list. It was also not listed on My Sonos system in settings. This had no effect on my oth

Sonos One Alexa does not work as well as Echo Dot -- does not respond as quickly and sometimes not as accurate -- anyone see this behavior?

Have got my new Sonos One but set up was super challenging and I cannot get the Sonos Alexa Skill to work. I can get Alexa to "play jazz in the kitchen" but cannot get her to "Play Adele". If I search for Adele through Amazon Music on Sonos Controller all works perfectly but if I ask Alex to "play Adele" she tells me "Your Amazon Music Marketplace is not configured correctly for this device"......GRRRRR super frustrating!!!

When I say "Alexa, mute [room name]," the volume goes down for about 2 seconds, then switches back to full volume. Same result if I say "Alexa, stop [room name]." It won't maintain the command more than a fleeting moment. Is my syntax wrong? Anyone have a solution?

I have recently purchased a Sonos Play 1 and I was wondering how to bluetooth enable it? If I buy an Echo dot and pair it with my Play 1, when I play movies on my laptop will it come out of the Echo dot speakers or my Sonos speakers? i.e. can I use the Echo dot's bluetooth to piggyback onto my Sonos and make it bluetooth enabled? Thanks

Just wanted to say how disappointed i am with the play 1 and so called alexa integration. After all the hype about this new "smart" speaker and how its going to change the game, i bought one on release day even though i have a number of speakers already. Now, i consider the play 1 as poor, no, the play 1 is good, alexa is poor. No napster integration. No playing of local media files. No facility to call other alexa users. No alarms. No reminders. News flashes dont work. Alexa chirps when watching tv too many times. Alexa can tell me what the weather is like though, just in case i cant turn my head and look out of the window. Really poor show from sonos here and what makes it worse is the lack of support giving hard dates when integration for more services is going to occur.

hello, i have a surround system from a pioneer speaker and a bose soundtouch30 i love but want to fill the rest of the rooms up with sonos...is tehre way to intergreat so when i say alexa play a song they will all turn on in sync even the non sonos???
