Voice control and smart home

I can get it to stream an audacy station by starting it from my iPAD. When I say “Alexa play xxx on Audacy,” it just says “hmm, to enable that , enable that skill and say discover devices. j  My iPad already lists Audacy and Tunein when I browse the Sonos app. When I say discover devices, it only wants me to connect my tv. So, I can I get Era 100 to play an Audacy or Tunein station by voice command?

I have setup Google Assistance and when I ask to play music from e.g. Spotify Google confirm and say it will start playing. Nothing happens. This goes for all my Sonos devices. I tried to remove Google Assistant and set it up again. Same result. I can ask Google Assistance for other things like the weather and then it works. I am running the latest version of the app and all devices are updated. All worked fine until maybe a week ago. What to do?

Can’t get Alexa to play music. I tell her to play a genre, and she says “playing X on Sonos” but then keeps asking “what do you want me to play next" and never actually plays anything.

I have a Sonos Amp and 6 Amazon Echos in my home. I can communicate to Alexa to play music through the 6 echos OR through the speakers connected to the Sonos amp but can’t find a way to play music at the same time through the 6 echos and the speakers. When I try to “combine rooms” in the Alexa app, the “Sonos” grays out when I select the echo dots. The echo dots gray out when I select the sinks speaker resulting in me not being able to combine them. Any help is appreciated !!

I’ve just bough a Sonos One for my home office which has it’s own router. (I have two already in the house on a different wifi network.) It wasn’t playing Spotify or radio stations properly so I disabled the skill in the Alexa app and when setting up I was prompted with the attached.I’ve selected ‘System 1’ which is now working but the devices in the house (system 2) are now not working properly with Spotify, etc.Does this mean I can’t use two different setups at home? 

New Era 100 speakers. Alexa is set up ok if I ask it a question. But it won't play BBC sounds, or Apple Music. I can play both through the App, but I'd really like to just ask the speakers to open BBC sounds without going through the app. Ditto music through Apple.  Everything is linked per set up instructions.  As it's both BBC and Apple I suspect the issue is with Sonos, but I may be wrong. Any thoughts or suggestions gratefully received. Thanks. 

Hi! Sonos Era 100 does not have Google Assistant, instead Sonos Voice Control. Does SVC have “voice match” similar to GA, so it knows if it’s me or my girlfriend who speaks to it? I want it to use the correct Spotify account, eg if my girlfriend is at home asking it to play music, it should use her Spotify account. I still want to be able to listen to music on my Spotify account at work. I think this is possible with the GA in eg Sonos One gen 2. Thanks!

"What could be causing my Sonos One with Alexa voice assistant to the error message 'Sorry, something went wrong' and how can I troubleshoot the issue?"

Is there a way to prevent or reduce the time that Alexa ducks Sonos speakers?

Can Sonos Voice not play TuneIn stations? I’ve tried several times and the response has been something to the effect of “Sonos Voice cannot play TuneIn”. Not sure if that’s literally true or if I just haven’t found the preferred command.

I already installed the Amazon Alexa app on my phone and it doesn't show up in Sonos app. When I tried to add a device directly from Alexa and search for Sonos, after some instructions they finaly inform me "You are not elegible to enable this skill due to geographical restructions". I'm from Chile and I can't belive this issue in a product that is not cheap. There are a lot of cheaper options in the market that use Alexa and works pefectly. Sonos assistant is limited and just support Sonos Radio like default app. So limited. I'm very happy with sound quality by the way, but is important to me have a good assistant. I want to confirm if the service is avalilable at my country and if not, Sonos is thinking to add it and when?

So the Sonos Era 100 and 300 have been officially announced - without support for Google Assistant.The following article from The Verge (https://www.theverge.com/23627044/sonos-era-300-100-announced-price-features-hands-on) mentions this: ‘Sonos says this is due to changes that Google has implemented for companies that want to run the voice service on third-party hardware. Patrick Spence claims it’s unrelated to the ongoing legal battle between the two companies and insists Assistant is now more of a “heavy engineering lift” than it was before. “Right now, we don’t see it being worth the effort. We hope Google will take another path that will allow us to continue to offer it in more of a lightweight manner the way we do today.”’Does this mean that those new speakers cannot be controlled by an additional Google Nest speaker either via the Google Home integration? And will this lack of Google Assistant support eventually affect owners of existing Sonos devices, such as the Sonos One/Move

How can you use ifttt to play radio 4 on sonos through Google assistant

Hi there,I recently added a new AppleTV 4K to my home, during the set up process it requested I upgrade my HomeKit architecture (which I did). All iOS devices are running on 16.4 and the Ones are working through the Sonos app itself. All my speakers are plugged in through Ethernet.Since I have not been able to AirPlay to my two Sonos Ones. My Sonos Arc is unaffected.System Info:I tried factory reset as per as well as resetting / rebooting as perbut neither have resolved my issue.Where to from here?Thank you, 

I have just setup my two new Sonos One 2. gen. When I try to connect/setup to a voice assistant, I can only choose Sonos Voice Control (see picture). I already have the google assistant app and google home app. 

Hi, I have passive speakers connected with a sonos amp in the bathroom. Now I control them with a Echo Flex connected in a spare plug in the bathroom.Now Echo Flex is no longer sold and my fear is that if the device just stops working I have no alternative for voice control in the bathroom. I have no room for a Echo dot or Sonos One or Roam. I just need a device Alexa compatibile that can fit in a plug.Anyone knows any alternative? Thanks

We are four people in our familiy and we have four sonos devices spread around the house which we all use from time to time to stream Spotify from our own accounts. It all works very well when we use the app. However whenever somebody uses Google Assistent voice control to play a song on spotify it automatically streams music using my spotify account - regardles of who gives the control. This happens even if i’m at work. How can we set it up, so it uses their own? If that’s not possible how can we then make a shared account for the house - and use our own private when out? Cheers!

Alarms don't seem to be set through Google Assistant. Steps to reproduce: "Hey Google, set an alarm for xxx" Google responds that alarm is set "Hey Google, what alarms do I have set?" Google responds that no alarms have been set

Both Alexa and hey Sonos have stopped working. I can play music thru the app, but all voice control is gone. I rebooted speakers, deleted and reconnected WiFi, deleted and added both voice controls (which worked upon initial so mics are working) but then would not work after setup. I signed out of every account and logged back in. Nothing!!!!! Is the Sonos server down? Thx Jackie

According to the brazilian Sonos Webpage, the Sonos One works with Alexa. But, in my setup with 2 Sonos One and a Sonos Beam, Alexa does not show up as Voice Service. This is really bad, as it means that I cannot use my Fire TV cube!It is really frustrating, as the interaction with this device was the primary reason for buying the Sonos system. I feel mislead by Sonos Brazil. [Yes, I created this topic out of frustration, I feel mislead!]

Title says it all, really. I can’t get SVC to play LBC radio. If I choose it through the app, it’s fine. But with SVC I get weird and wonderful results. I’ve scoured the forums and tried everything I’ve found as suggestion, all to no avail.Has anyone been successful in this, and if so, could you please tell me the magic words?

I have an Arc set up with two One surrounds and not long ago (I can’t pinpoint exactly when) it started taking at least ten seconds for the volume to go back up after asking Alexa something and the answer finishing, or if it thinks it hears the wake word it will stay quiet for far too long. Any ideas would be much appreciated, as it’s really annoying. I don’t have ‘follow-up mode’ enabled as it’s ‘disabled when using Wi-Fi connected speaker’ according to the Alexa app.

Recently taken my somos roam away and connected to the holiday home wifi. Worked ok to start with but now Alexa won’t play music when prompted. Alexa works and searches as expected but for some reason music cannot be triggered. I have to do it manually via the sonos App. I tried re-authorising the music services, reinstalled Amazon music, but still nothing. Is very strange. Any ideas? 

I have one Sonos One and another SL in my room set up as a stereo pair. If I ask the ONE a question is it possible it responds from the speakers of both the ONE and ONE SL? so if I ask a question alexa only responds from the speaker of the ONE. Can I make it answer my question on the both speakers???
