Google Assistant with Lutron Caseta

After trying with limited success in integrating Alexa with home lights, I am thinking of trying again with Google Assistant. Is the GA integration through Sonos with Lutron Caseta solid? For example, can I group the lights and the Sonos so I can say "Hey Google, turn on the lights" to the Sonos One in my kitchen, and GA will turn on the lights in the kitchen? Or is it still sort of dumb, where I have to tell the kitchen Sonos "turn on the lights [u]in the kitchen[/u]"? I don't have the Lutron Caseta swtiches - just thinking of installing them after ecobee toasted the temperature sensor function on their Swtich+.

issues with Spotify

When I play a song from Spotify online it skips for the first 5 seconds, every time. If I download the song first it doesn’t do this. Tune in and SiriusXM don’t do this either. In addition, my sonos 1 will no longer play Spotify via alexa voice commands while I can initiate play with my sonos or spotify apps. I submitted diagnostics. 1600494603.

Sonos One 1st Gen and Google Assistant performance question

I currently have Sonos One's 2nd Gen in my theater setup. I've been researching and pondering what speakers to put in the rest of the house. I've been endlessly changing my mind but think I'm leaning towards the Sonos One and I've seen some 1st Gens with decent prices. I do not have experience with the first Gen. Without the updated processor and internals, does GA still function fine? I only ask cause there were few posters speculating that could be one of the reasons they were updated.

Spotify on Sonos Beam with Google Assistant

I am trying to play music on my Sonos Beam using Google Assistant. I have a Spotify Premium account. When I ask assistant to play anything (song, playlist, artist) on Spotify, it initially says "sure, playing xxx" and then after a pause says, "sorry, the requested media content isn't available for your Spotify premium tier". I am using an iPhone X for the setup. I've tried unlinking and relinking my Spotify account in both the Google Assistant and Sonos apps. I've tried deleting and reinstalling Google Assistant. I've tried disabling Google Assistant and then reenabling it. No dice! I was previously using Amazon Alexa with the Sonos Beam for a short time and Spotify was working fine (but I would prefer to be able to use Google Assistant for other reasons). If I try to play music using Google Assistant through the app on the iPhone, it will open Spotify and go to the correct artist but not actually play the song. Would really appreciate any suggestions.. it's driving me nuts!!

Google assistant på Sonos beam

Ibland (ca 2-3 gånger i veckan)aktiveras mikrofonen utan att man säger "ok google" Dvs att tv ljudet sänks och den väntar på ett kommando. Någon som vet varför?

Google home vs Sonos one in controlling Tradfri

Okay, I have noticed a strange behavior: If I issue the command "*lamp name* x%" to my google home, it replies with a chime and sets that specific (Ikea tradfri) light to x% brightness. If I issue the same command to my Sonos one, It replies with a web search reply. Which is useless to me ;). I am sure that I set the Sonos up in the right google assistant/home group stuff, because when I simply say something like "turn lights on/off" it replies with a chime and does just that. Does anyone have a solution (or at least explanation) for this behavior?

Using Assistant with Spotify and Tile

I use Assistant on my Pixel 2XL.  I also use it on a Sonos One, which is used by my whole household.  We use Spotify for music.  I originally had my Spotify account linked to my Google account on the Sonos, but quickly found that if someone else used the Sonos while I was listening to Spotify elsewhere (like at work), then my music would stop.   To fix this, I created a house Google account, and linked that Assistant to the Sonos. Then I created a house Spotify account, and linked that account to my house Google Assistant.  This works great, no problems. Now I am trying to link Tile to my Google account, so I can ask the Assistant on the Sonos to find my Tile items.  This is more difficult.  I set up my house Google account on an old, unused Android phone.  I am able to link Tile to that account.  But since Tile needs Bluetooth, I can't use Tile on Sonos unless that old phone is turned on and in range of the Tile items.  I don’t really want to have that old phone sitting around, chargi

Alexa responds with broken speech or buzzes

I have 3 Sonos one’s, 2 are working fine but one is really glitchy. If I ask Alexa a question sometimes it responds perfectly but other times only the first and maybe last couple of words are audible with a pause in between. If I look in the Alexa app I can see it has understood and thinks it has responded normally. Or sometimes Alexa doesn’t respond at all and after a pause there’s a buzzing noise. I also find this speaker occasionally disappears from the app and I have to unplug and re-plug it for it too be found. Can anyone offer me any advise? Thanks!

Feature request: Alexa command to join speaker with other speaker(s) currently playing

A voice command which does the same as pressing and holding the play button would be amazing. Please make it happen

It is frustrating that Sonos does not support Amazon Prime Music yet in India. While one has paid for both Amazon and Sonos amp they are blocked for India. Wynk , Sportify are also not supported in India. Any plans to enable these? else the product is almost useless in India.

Symfonisk remote stopped working with speakers

I have a playbar and two play:1’s. A few weeks ago I picked up the Ikea Symfonisk remote and it worked perfectly with my setup. Last night, my internet went out and my symfonisk remote wasn’t working. I went to set it up again and completed the setup succesfully through the ikea smart home app. However, the app still does not recognize my remote as a device. After successfully setting it up, the remote still doesn’t work and does not appear on the list of devices. I’ve tried disconnecting my account from the app, and also re- set up the ikea hub and the problem persists.

Broadcast over Play 1 or Gen1 Play 5 from Google Home Mini

Just bought a Google home mini and got it conected to my Play 1s and Play 5. I can successfully ask it to play music in the kitchen or whatever, no problem. The only thing I can't get to work is the broadcast. The mini just says "it looks like you haven't got any devices connected". I found [url=https://en.community.sonos.com/google-assistant-and-sonos-229109/google-broadcast-announcement-problem-6827588]this post[/url] but I don't seem to have the Settings>Room Options... so I'm assuming they're talking about the newer Play Ones. So, the question is, it possible to get the home mini to broadcast to the Play 1s and Gen1 play 5? If so, how? Thanks

Playing content in "My Sonos" via Google Assistant

I'm trying to trigger Calm using Google Assistant on my Sonos one, so that I don't have to open the distraction/stress generator machine that is my iPhone. :) However, this task is making me all but calm. When say "on Google talk to calm" to the Sonos it says that "calm is not supported on this device". I've also tried putting Calm content into My Sonos in the Sonos app, which works, but I can't seem to find a way to play those via Google Assistant. Google Assistant on the Sonos One works great I'm general, plays Spotify etc. Calm works when using it from the Sonos app. Calm works when using the iOS Google Assistantant app. Can you provide some trick to solve my ailment?

suggestion for Google assistant support on Sonos

Hello,I am in the process of building my Sonos system across my house and am absolutely loving it. I do have a couple questions about Google Assistant support:On the Google Home, there is an option under Accessibility to play a sound once the unit has finished recognizing your command. This is in addition to the sound that plays when you say the wake word. I am blind, so this audio queue can be helpful to know when the unit has finished with my command. I suspect this may be one of those things that Google doesn’t give third-party speakers access to, but will it ever be possible to stop an alarm or timer just by saying “stop” without saying Hey Google first? This works on Google Home speakers.
