Voice control and smart home

I know you can use Alexa voice control to alter any sonos as it streams music, but can you use it (probably via Echo Plus) to adjust the volume when watching TV? i.e. "Alexa, turn down the TV" once you've established with Alexa you are using the PLAYBASE for the TV sound? This is pretty much all I want Alexa for because as much as I love my playbase, having to: -get my phone out, -unlock it, -open the app, -make sure I'm on the right room, -then turn down the TV Is not ideal.

Did anyone get an Amazon Echo Dot coupon? My friend told me about it today, but I've had a sonos play 5 since 2012 but I didn't get a coupon. :?

I have two Sonos Play 1 and am getting a Play 3. I was planning on buying an Echo Dot, to use Alexa with it, but then you came out with Sonos One. That made me think twice. Now I am reading that in 2018 you will be integrating Siri to Sonos, and now I really don't know what to do. So I have the following questions: Siri/Airplay related: 1) Will Siri be available on a speaker (like Alexa is currently on Sonos One)? 2) Since Apple doesn't have a stand alone device for Siri (like the Echo Dot), is it fair to assume the Siri commands will be given through an iPhone or iPad? 3) Will Airplay work with all the speakers in the Sonos line, or will it be with a specific model (e.g. Sonos One)? 4) if so, then is it enough having one of them in your home system, or must they all be individually compatible 5) Can I currently tell Siri to play a song using my Sonos speakers? Alexa related: 1) I don't have any streaming servi

I like the button to disable the microphone on the top of the Sonos One. However, I just bought several of them scattered throughout multiple rooms. It would be really great to have a toggle (e.g. on the Desktop or Mobile apps) that would turn off all the mics. Is there any way to do that?

I have tried a group name called "House" the "the House" - but doesn't work. If I say "Living Room" it plays all rooms. I think maybe it is because they are already grouped on Sonos? I don't mind.. but it only plays one song then stops.

I recently bought the Sonos One on a trip to the US. Am now setting it up back in the UK. Have synced it to my Sonos system and it now shows up on my iPhone app. The app now prompts me to 'Add Amazon Alexa'. When I click this it says 'Your Sonos system requires an update'. When I click 'Update Sonos' it says 'Unable to update Sonos app... A Sonos update has been released but is not yet available in your app store'. Can't get any further than that but am sure I have the latest app, and that Alexa should be enabled in the UK?

Got the new Sonos One and attempted to add to system. I have app 8.1.1 on all devices. After connecting to my system, the app said I need an update. Continuous recycling through that process.

Everything was working fine. Then I went away for a week for work came back and Alexa won't play the music in the correct room. I'll say "Hey Alexa, play music in office", it will then say "playing music in office" and start playing the music in the living room. When I look at the app, it shows it's playing in the living room. I will have to then physically stop music in living room and then play music in office. Anyone else having this issue? Just started happening.

I setup my echo dot to my 2 Sonos Play 1 and was able to control volume, turn on/off etc. Today I added a sonoff Wifi Switch (from amazon - compatible with Echo) which is working correctly however, now I can't control the volume or turn on/off my sonos (I can still select what to play though). I keep getting 'Sonos is not responding' or 'That command doesn't work on Sonos'. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or has any suggested fixes? (I've already tried renaming and resetting the dot)

I realise this is a beta release and that Sonos would obviously ensure Amazon music works first but having waited a year to find out I can’t use Deezer with Alexa is disappointing. Whilst I have an amazon music account the integration doesn’t work, if I ask Alexa to play something it plays a short example of the song and not from my Amazon playlist. A poor user experience from what should’ve been a great announcement. The new app is ok but you’ve removed the swipe right facility to browse music when in room playback mode and swipe up to view nav bar doesn’t work.

Hi All, I am having a problem, that after searching the support community nobody seems to be having so I am hoping you can help. My System Bedroom (2 x Play 1’s set up as a stereo pair) Kitchen (2 x Play 1’s set up as a stereo pair) Portable (1 x Play 5) Living Room (1 x Playbar, 1 x Subwoofer, 2 x Play 3’s set as surrounds) I have 3 echo dots, one in the Living room, bedroom and kitchen. I have set up my sonos system on the Alexia app and all rooms are seen in the devices section of the app and all account linking went as it should have. When a ask Alexia to play music in the Bedroom or on Portable all voice commands work as they should but if I ask Alexa to play music in the kitchen or the living room she replies in exactly the same way as for the Bedroom or Portable but no music plays. I have done all the usual, rebooting everything i

I would be interested in people’s views on the new Alexa enabled Sonos? I purchased on the other week but find its functionality very limited. It will not fully operate my other Sonos units. In addition to this I have it connected to my Hue lighting system although it works some of the time I do find it very temperamental

Alexa says that she is going to play the podcast and she even describes what it is about, but then nothing plays. I've enabled the podcast player and the anypod skills, but neither one works.

I have added a Sonos One to my Sonos network and integrated with Alexa that all went OK. Now I want to rename my Sonos One. That is easy enough to do with the Sonos but what do I have to do to update Alexa? Just rename in with the Alexa app? Thanks

I did a search and can't find an app for Alexa on W10. Is there one? If so, can someone provide a link. Assuming there is one and I get it loaded will I be able to give a voice command to tune in my various internet stations, including Pandora?Thanks. Also, on the W10 Sonus app where is the Favorites list? I have created three internet radio station favorites but I can't find the favorites list anywhere.

i deregistered my sons one from amazon and was unable to register my sonos. when i talk to alexa she says, "sorry, i'm having trouble understanding right now. try back later. how do i correct this problem?

Got the Sonos speaker with Alexa and everything set up fine except for when I go to add music services from Amazon or iHeartRadio it will not connect .Each screen goes through successfully and it said it worked but when I go back to the sonos app it says there is a communication error and it could not be set up .anyone else having this problem?

If I bought a Sonos One and I decided I didn't like the Alexa integration on it, can I plug my echo dot in it and use it just like a Play 1?

Does wemo work with Sonos one? Specifically the outlets, also what skill is that under

When will Spotify work through Sonos via Alexa, I don't want to hear "Soon" or "by the end of the year" or anything similar I want an official, exact date and having read all the infuriated posts I don't think it's an unreasonable question.

Have multiple sonos components. Recently bought a Sonos one and addes it with Alexa. Working fine and Sinos sees where it is as a room. Just bought an echo dot and added it via alexa app and it controls Sonos speakers fine. Alexa app sees all including echo dot but Sonos app doesnt see echo dot. I didnt try to add it to Sonos as you do a Sonos component. Is it just that it cannot be controlled by the sonos app itself?

Ok, so new to sonos. 2 days ago I received my play one. Set up with no issue (although a completely ridiculous process) and everything working as expected and Alexa was happily playing music from amazon music Today, it stopped. Alexa does everything else like controlling my hue lights but when playing music it now says that it’s playing and nothing happens. The strange thing is that when I first set it up it behaved more like an echo with Alexa announcing ‘now playing...’ but the. It changed to ‘now playing ... on living room’ like it is controlling a separate device. The group that the sonos is in is called living room (only 1 speaker) but now in the Alexa app I see ‘james’ Sonos One’ and ‘living room’ under settings with only the one showing as online. Does anyone know of a solution to this. Super frustrated given that I was set to continue my relationship with echo and buy another echo for the living room but thought I’d take punt on thi

I setup the new Alexa beta and everything linked properly. I restarted speakers so everything should be all set. But when I try and start Sonos initially, Alexa tells me that "XX room is not responding". If I go directly to the Sonos app and start the player that way, I can get Alexa to at least recongnize the player. The issue I am having at this point is if I say "alexa, play "fill in the blank" in XX room", alexa will respond that it will play it but the sonos player will just resume whatever I manually started. I can't get it to change music at all. All I get is the ability to start whatever I was last playing. Hope this makes sense. I know the beta is only 5 minutes old but hoping someone can help!

Hello! I got my Sonos One speaker this morning and went through the setup process. The initial speaker setup went smooth and as usual. When I tried to activate Alexa however, I was able to complete the first two steps with my German Amazon account. However, I couldn't successfully add the Sonos skill. The Alexa app prompted me to change the language of the skills to German via a link. This link leads to the setting screen inside the same app where no such setting can be found. Because I was stuck, I tried to reset everything and try it once more. Therefore I then went to the German Amazon Website and deregistered the Speaker from the devices list where Amazon keeps record of Kindles, Echo devices and more. Now I am stuck in the skill activation screen (third step) and Sonos doesn't seem to register that my device is no longer associated with my Amazon account.

I have a very large CD collection built up over many years. I have no interest in contemporary music and do not subscribe to a streaming service so need Alexa to control music stored in my iTunes library. Can Alexa control this?
