Hello,Are Google Home routines supported using the Google Assistant on Sonos products? I was hoping to replace all of my Google Speakers with Sonos but when I say “Hey Google turn off the lights” (which is a custom Google Home routine it works though the Google devices but not Sonos devices.Thank you,Greg

I use the Sonos Voice Control feature and really enjoy it.  I have a Move with a microphone, but my Roam and two Connects don’t have mics.  I’d like to be able to use the Voice Control feature via the Sonos controller app on my phone to control all my Sonos products (the Move is in another part of the house that doesn’t always pickup voice commands).

I changed my email on the account. I no longer use the old email. Now the speakers will not work with Alexa. Can someone please let me know what I need to do to resolve this?

I’m getting really frustrated with my Echo no longer playing BBC sounds on the Sonos Five. I’ve tried everything from disabling BBC sounds skill on Alexa app as well as Sonos, removing the group, what the voice command is to play music on the Five.The strange thing is Spotify plays on the Five from echo.Does anyone know how to fix this? 

For months now there seems to be an increasing decline in the effectiveness of the Sonos One’s ability to listen and perform tasks.  I’ve had it for about 4 years and it has largely been fine and perhaps gets the most amount of use of all my Sonos devices as it’s in the kitchen, although somewhat more hard of hearing than pure Amazon Alexa devices, which is understandable as this is a Sonos device first and foremost and the mic array design is more recessed.  With that in mind it has been kept in an ideal position, away from a wall and other kitchen sources of noise.The decline in response though has manifested in stages.  last year it often was randomly not turning off any music or radio stations, even if initially activated by voice command to that device.  BBC Radio 4 or radio FIP for example would launch fine but it would either ignore the command to stop with a tone or deny it was even playing, despite the historical command language being adhered to.Now though it hears the comman

Hi all,I managed to correctly configure the voice assistant (Google or Alexa) during my first configuration but since I downgraded the Beam to S1 it no longer works.  Alexa or Google hear what I say and answer that they start the music (on YouTube music or Amazon music) but nothing happens... I have configured everything correctly apparently, could you please help me?

Je suis incapable de connecter l’assistant google a aucun de mes produits sonos

Good morning everyone,I’ve just purchased a Sonos Arc and have installed Alexa and I have been very pleased with the experience so far. However, it seems like I can only manipulate music apps like Spotify, Sonos Radio etc. as I’m having trouble opening up video apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime video. Upon asking Alexa to “watch Netflix” she responds “to control video device you need to connect it first… go to settings/video apps etc...” except that I don’t see the Netflix option under tv/video.Furthermore, when trying to connect Amazon Prime through the Alexia app->Tv/Video I get prompted with “Sorry, we could not find any devices to link.”How can I get Alexa to open up my video apps and do I need to buy an additional device such as the Amazon echo to remedy this situation? Thanks!

Has anyone figured this out yet? I can’t seem to setup the skill for Alexa and in the settings for Services & Voice there’s NO ALEXA THERE.? Why is that?

Hello! I have 5 Sonos that are AirPlay enabled, including 2 amps.  for these two amps, they are setup identically, they are stacked on top of each other,  both hard wired direct to the network.  1 amp (and all my other Airplay speakers) work.  But 1 amp gives the same error on any device (“unable to connect to “the pool”) ive power cycled, restarted the network, checked for updates,   Turned WiFi on and off on that amp,   Tried a half dozen iOS devices,     Nothing I do will make the Sonos work.   for this broken amp, no other symptoms, all music services work from the Sonos ap, but not from airplay or apple HomeKit.  it did work at one point when I installed the amps initially, but not anymore.   any tips? Thanks !

Hi!I am considering buying Sonos Roam to connect it through Smartthings. Unfortunately with all the recent changes in Smarthings environment I am not sure if I’ll even be able to connect it. So my question is:Is it possible to easily connect the Sonos Roam in Smartthings? Is it possible to activate certain build-in sounds on different actions? For example turn on the dogs barking sound when the motion on some sensor is detected. But I want to do it directly in Smartthings, without the need of any complex steps in Smartthings Groovy IDE etc.

Hola, recientemente he comprado un Beams G2 y dos one sl. Me gustaria saber si hay alguna fecha para que se integre con google assistant en Chile dado que tengo pensado comprar mas productos sonos. Gracias

I don’t think this is possible, but all the answers I find are from 3 years ago (which is depressing because it feels like an updated feature is never going to come). I don’t want to group any google speakers with my Sonos speakers. I just want to know if there is a way to say “Hey google play “song” on “my Sonos group”. “My Sonos Group” is one of several groupings I’ve built in the Sonos app. I know there is no way to group within the Home app itself, but is there no command that Google Assistant can’t send to Sonos to just play an already set up group? 

I have a number of Amazon Echo devices along with a number of Sonos (Alexa-enabled) speakers in the house. I only want the doorbell notifications to go to certain devices and need to exclude certain Sonos devices. However, information on the net appears to suggest doing this via the Alex App, but I can only de-select Amazon Echo devices in there and not Sonos speakers enabled through Alexa.Is there any other way that I can stop these notifications as the Sonos app only appears to have rudimentary settings for Alexa in its own app.

Have to confess I did not realise the otherwise super ARC device had Alexa embedded. However the functions that the simple Alexa Echo device performs with ease, do not seem to be so simple with the ARc device. Maybe that’s my knowledge, how it’s set up or the product itself but functions such as ‘drop in’ (where you can open up a communication with another Alexa device) do not seem to work. Same with other communication type functions that are commonplace on even the lowest end Amazon product. is this your experience? Or am I missing a setting that would allow the ARC to perform as an equal to the the Echo device?Very much hope it is my lack of set up rather than a delta in function.Appreciate any input you might have.

I really want to get rid of my remaining Apple HomePods. However, a chief reason for keeping them is the ease of handing off anything in playing on my phone to the speaker. I can’t see anyway to do the same with Sonos. Am I missing something?

See this thread -bbc-stations-though-google-assistant-defaults-to-tunein-6868629 I have no idea how you justify closing it with no fix. I am forced to use alexa but it is very definitely not a fix for me.

Subject:: Alexa cannot connect to Spotify or other music sources (all enabled) after a Sonos auto software update to 14.20I have 5 sonos one speakers plus Boost that previously worked well with Alexa. After the auto software update on the speakers, Alexa failed. Specifically, Alexa could no longer execute commands such as “Alexa, play smooth jazz music.” Alexa would respond “Playing smooth jazz on Spotify … sorry that device is off line.” The problem is that everything is on line and correctly connected. Also, I can ask Alexa what is the weather or other questions like that and it responds appropriately. In summary, Alexa cannot reach any of 4 music services that were, and remain, enabled in my skills list. I followed all Sonos recommended reconnect procedures with no effect. Router is same and I made no adjustment to its settings prior to this problem; IPhone 14 is same with no changes there; Wi-Fi signal is robust throughout the house; no new additions to my network; no ‘interference

I have an Echo dot and a bunch of Sonos Play speakers. All up to date software. I have the Sonos skill enabled on the Alexa app but when I go to settings>services and voice>add a service in the Sonos app there is no option for Amazon Alexa, only Amazon Music. I’m based in the UK. Any ideas why it’s not available? 

At 1am, sonos started playing music out of the blue.  I generated a diagnostics code shortly after it happened, which is 1080735780.  Can you explain what happened? Thanks, Paul

Alexa will work if I say time weather alarmbut when I ask to play Apple Music it will say connecting to apple. Musicthen say having trouble connecting ty for any help

Okay, it is now January 2023, and evidently you  still cannot play music from your Sonos indexed music library using Alexa.  I’ve wasted my time looking at numerous articles that seem to indicate you can play your music files in Sonos using Alexa, but there is always an issue. I have the Amazon music service setup in Sonos.  I have the Sonos skill linked and ready in the Alexa app.  Yet I still can’t play my own music in Sonos.   I just followed one article to setup Alexa with Sonos and at the end the commands below were listed, nothing to do with playing your own music.  Here are the commands in the Sonos app on my Android phone.  “Alexa, play music for meditation in the bedroom”“Alexa, play top hits from the 70’s in the kitchen”“Alexa, turn up the volume in the bathroom" Unbelievable!  So I’m guessing that the answer to my question is “NO”, you cannot play music from your Sonos music library using Alexa.

Hello,I was wondering is it possible to use Google Assistant through SONOS in Poland? I’m preety sure it was available, before SONOS introduces its own assistant. The main issue is - can I use SONOS to control Google Home devices in Poland? If not, and the problem lies that the Google Assistant feature in SONOS is not available in Poland, can someone answers if SONOS is working on it ? Or when can it be introduced? I belive SONOS looses a lot becouse of this issue... I don't care about service in Polish, but it would be nice to have any Google Home service, since the product is adapted to it in other countries? Are there any other devices that I can add to my home system that will allow me to use Google Home/Assistant and SONOS without problems?
