Voice control and smart home

We have the Lutron Smart Bridge Pro 2 with several picos, dimmers, etc. We’ve integrated the Sonos account inside the Lutron app and it has a green check. Inside of the Sonos app, we have turned on Sonos Voice Control for the Era 100 speaker. However, when I say … “Hey, Sonos turned main bedroom lights on” I am getting this error message from the speaker: to enable voice control for your smart home devices, activate the Home control feature on your smart devices app Things I’ve tried: both Lutron and Sonos are fully up to date, restarted the Lutron bridge, deleted and read added the Sonos integration to the Lutron app, deleted and re added voice control to the speaker inside the Sonos app.  Note: The Sonos speaker currently accepts Sonos’s voice commands for music. It is just not controlling any of the Lutron lights via voice command.

1. Apple Home and Apple TV integrationI would like the Arc Ultra to fully appear in Apple’s “TV & Speakers” controls.When music is playing directly on the Arc, the song, artwork and playback controls should also appear automatically on the Apple TV’s Now Playing screen. 2. Optional Apple TV playback with Hey SonosI would like an option for Hey Sonos to launch Apple Music directly on the Apple TV instead of playing through the Sonos music service.This would turn on the Apple TV, show the music on screen and send Dolby Atmos audio to the Arc Ultra through HDMI eARC. Direct playback on the Arc should remain available because it starts much faster.

I can only get 2 devices out of 6 speakers to connect the voice assistant.  I tried all the instructions multiple times.  App says they are connected but they won’t activate when asked.  

I have had Google Assistant installed on my Sonos One speaks for years now. But for no reason whatso ever it stopped working (just another Sonos feature).  Every time I said “Hey Google”, the speaker would take many seconds to reply then told me “there has been a glitch, try again in a few seconds” but it just wouldn’t work. I followed the instructions to uninstall the feature from the speaker and then reinstall - but it just will not work. I don’t know if it is because the Google Assist app has evolved leaving Sonos behind or what but it get blocked every time when, in the Sonos app I add assistant → Add Google Assistant → Open Google Assistant app…. and then it just hangs. I’ve checked my Google Assistant app but I’m pretty sure it has been updated since the last time I installed the speakers.  So I just can not get past this point.  I use the assistant a lot as I have smart devices all over the house.  If I can’t get this to work, I will have to get rid of the Sonos speakers and buy

Hello,I installed Google assistant on my Beam Gen 2. When Spotify is playing music, I can ask google assistant to move to another song. But if Spotify is not playing and I ask to start it or just ‘play music”, google assistant answers he is not able to do this. Can someone help?ThanksCoco

He notado que cuando le pido algo a Alexa, me responde con un volumen que empieza a subir cada vez más automáticamente. Solo es la voz de Alexa, no en la reproducción de música por ejemplo. 

Google Assistant went through a rocky period over the last year while Google was attempting a rather confusing re-organization of how their automation routines work. They managed to break most existing automation routines, and at times it seemed like nothing was working properly. This not only affected Sonos speakers supporting Google Assistant, but Sonos saw more impact than native Google speakers. I pretty much gave up on them and moved most of my automations to Alexa.But Google finally seems to have gotten their act together, and automation routines are working again, including those which failed on Sonos previously. The earlier flaw that automation routines can’t speak any custom text on Sonos remains, but it’s worth trying Google automation routines again if it was the more recent failures that led to abandoning Google Assistant.

I’m posting this because the latest Sonos update has once again broken Alexa integration on my system, and the “fix” Sonos expects users to perform is completely unreasonable.After the update, Alexa triggers cause glitching, audio corruption, or failure to respond. Rebooting speakers and router does nothing. The only fix Sonos support suggests is:• Disable Sonos skill• Deregister all Alexa-enabled Sonos devices• Factory reset each speaker• Re-add them to the system• Re-enable the skill• Rebuild all settings manuallyThis means losing EQ, Trueplay, room profiles, and custom settings on devices like the Beam 2. Why should users have to rebuild their entire setup because an update corrupted cloud tokens?This is not the first time an update has caused major issues, and Sonos’ mandatory, non‑skippable update model makes it even more frustrating. There is no way to stay on a stable version, no rollback option, and no ability to defer updates until they’re proven safe.If Sonos can push updates

If you haven't used Alexa+ and if you are a little anti AI, that probably doesn't seem important to you.  However, it is a ridiculous improvement in functionality once you have it.    Sonos speakers with Alexa integration feel antiquated now.   

As it stands Sonos hasn't been programmed to accept Gemini. Here's why. The Sonos app is design to communicate with the Google assistant app. Gemini is a separate app. The sonos app attempts to open the Google assistant app only. If you've switched to Gemini, your Sonos devices won't accept your new AI assistant. 

I've been chatting and speaking with Sonos technical support for the past four hours and am about to have my issue escalated for the sixth time. The one thing that not one of the technicians has tried is to recreate the issue on their own Sonos speaker.Voice Control will NOT connect to KUSC - Classical California: The station is in my “Favorites” and the app will connect to it - but Voice Control either fails to respond or connects to a channel named “Blue Mood” - which plays orchestral light jazz with commercials. Could someone, please, try to get Sonos to play KUSC using Voice Control and let me know the result? Thanks!

On Beam Gen 2 (which is set up with Sub Mini and 2 x Play:1 surrounds), when I ask Alexa to “Play 6 Music”, halfway during the response “Now Playing BBC 6 Music” the volume increases and the station music sounds much louder than I want it.Does anyone else get this and what can I do to stop it happening. It really is ridiculously loud when the volume increases.

I am at a loss trying to find information.  Any help would be appreciated.  I have a multiple Sonos products in my house (no group set-up FYI), and I also have multiple Echo Dot speakers.  Alexa works on all devices both Sonos and Alexa Echo Dots.  There is one skill imparticular that is not working over the last month is Sleep Jar through Voice Commands on Sonos products, but does work on Echo products?  When I give the voice command to play or launch a particular sound on any Sonos device - the response I get is “Having Trouble accessing skill”.  This particular skill is linked in my Alexa app settings.  Since it works on Echo devices no problem - my thought is this is a Sonos issue and I downloaded the latest upgrade.  Is advice on how to fix -- my only work around has been to Airplay on the Sonos speakers, but only my phone to access not voice.

I'd like to know what the result is of the communities multiple requests for Home Assistant Voice integration, is it in the planning or denied?. ​@Sotiris C.  ​@Corry P I would readily jump away from google assistant if Home Assistant was supported on Sonos. Just being able to use existing hardware i already have in my home with home assistant and a local llm is a game changer. People want their privacy Sonos. The only reason i dont use Sonos Voice Control is due to it not having access to my lights/home it only controls the sonos environment, This is such a huge limitation. Sure there is a niche amount of users using home assistant.. which is only because we first had google assistant & Google Home… but that is going to change.. google is pushing its llm which i can personally say i dont want. Stick it to em enable home assistant and let the users enjoy sonos again.

Hello everyone, My family currently using alexa to voice control our music that is hosted through plex on our local plex ubuntu server, though unfortunately we are loosing that feature in a couple days and I have been experimenting with sonos and SVC to try and find a alternate.  I have done a bit of creeping and have seen many post referencing that you can convert your plex music or use your local library to make sonos playlist that then can be used to play music through SVC. I have had limited luck getting things working by following these forum posts and was wondering if something has changed?  My system is set up with a shared drive over my network with Samba. I did have to open up my connection to SMB2 - 3 which was originally shared with just SMB3 for my plex server to get Sonos to link with my music library in the sonos app. Though I got it all up and running and everything works perfectly in the android app except voice control. My problem is when I try and make sonos playlist

SONOS OneにApple Musicは連携済みです。AlexsaにApple Musicは連携済みです。SONOS Oneの音声に、Amazon AlexsaとSonos Voice Controlは連携済みです。「アレクサ、アップルミュージックでoasisを再生して」「アレクサ、アップルミュージックの音楽を止めて」等の操作が効きません。音声操作は可能でしょうか。どうすればいいでしょうか。 Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:I have already linked Apple Music to my Sonos One and Alexa.I have also set up Amazon Alexa and Sonos Voice Control for voice operations on the Sonos One.However, commands such as:"Alexa, play Oasis on Apple Music""Alexa, stop the music from Apple Music"...are not working.Is voice control possible? What should I do?

Hi everyone,!--tgqphd|[]-->I am stuck trying to reconnect my smart home system after having it packed away for a year.

How do we shuffle our Apple Music library songs on our ERA 100s or ERA 300s?

Hello Sonos Support,I am experiencing a persistent issue with a Sonos One where onboard voice assistants no longer treat the speaker as the local playback device.The speaker can play music when it is explicitly named, for example:“Play [music/radio] on Living Room”However, when speaking directly to the Sonos One and saying:“Play [music/radio]”the command does not play locally unless I include the speaker name.This previously worked normally. I could speak to the Sonos One and simply say “play [music/radio]” and it would play on that same speaker.The issue affects both Google Assistant and Alexa, so it does not appear to be isolated to one assistant provider.Current behaviour:The Sonos One responds to voice commands. Smart-home commands work, including lights and thermostat control. Music/radio playback works if I explicitly name the speaker. Music/radio playback does not resolve to the local Sonos One when I simply say “play [music/radio]”. Google Home can see the Sonos speaker as a li

With Android phones moving to Gemini, this change interferes with using Google Assistant on Sonos devices. If Google Assistant is not already set up on Sonos, the setup process now redirects to Gemini, making it impossible to connect GA to Sonos. For those who have GA already activated, enabling Gemini on the phone causes GA on Sonos to respond with a connection issue, rendering it unusable. This creates a difficult choice for users either stop using GA on Sonos or avoid switching to Gemini on their phones. Given that GA is likely to be fully replaced by Gemini in the near future, how does Sonos plan to address this transition and ensure continued voice assistant functionality on its devices?  

Bonsoir je n'arrive pas à paramétrer ma ville sur mon enceinte sonos era 300 pour les prévisions météo.Merci pour votre aide

This was working fine up until a day or so ago. Now when I say Alexa play “radio X,y,z” it starts to seem as though it will play back, but then says “hmmmm, it is not currently available” If I go into the app, whatever I have requested shows in the playback section, but paused, and if you hit the play button, it simple goes back to pause/not playing again. I have reset the whole thing, removed it from my Amazon account etc, but nothing has worked so far. Thanks for any help.
