Voice control and smart home

Hi everyoneNew Sonos user here. I’ve set my Beam Gen 2 and pair of One SLs (living room) with Google Voice, and I’ve also linked a Google Home Mini (kitchen) to the Sonos in the hope that:I can use the mini in the kitchen to control music on the Sonos system in the living room; I can transfer whatever is playing in the living room to the kitchen and vice versa; and I can duplicate whatever is playing in the living room in the kitchen and vice versa.Please can somebody let me know if this is possible? The problem’s I’m having are:When I try and transfer or duplicate music (e.g. by saying “play in the living room as well” it says it doesn't recognise that command? If I ask the google home mini to play something it defaults to playing on the Sonos system - I would have thought I’d need to specify that I wanted it to play in the living room and it would default to the kitchen?Any input greatly appreciated!  Thanks

Maybe I’m wrong here, but seems year ago the Sonos API had a “Speak Text and Resume” option, so back then in my SmartThings days, I could have Sonos speak a TTS alert and then it’d continue playing music where it left off. I’m now on Hubitat, but I believe this feature has gone away altogether. Am I wrong about that?Is there any way to get Sonos to resume playing a song after it’s interrupted by a TTS request?

I only use Pandora as my music streamer, and I can use it when making requests in the Sonos app on my phone, but when I try the “Okay Google” verbal request, it acknowledges my question, but tells me that “It looks like you have to log in again to this media provider.” I’m logged in everywhere I can find. So I’m not sure where it’s wanting me to log in again.

Hello! I have an Arc (+LS+RS) set up in my living room and have just purchased a One to go in my bedroom.  I can’t seem to get it so I can listen to one thing in the Bedroom and something else in the Living Room as well as have the ability to listen to the same thing on both.  Every time I try and listen to the same thing in both rooms it only plays in one room. 

I have recently purchased a play five. I added it to my Sonos account and all worked fine. For the first time I tried to use an Alexa Device to control the music streaming onto the Play five via tree Alexa. I updated all the software then went through the instructions to add Alexa skills which it seemed to do but when in Alexa it just cannot recognise the play five device. I have deleted the Sonos and Alexa apps from the iPad and reinstalled from iTunes and reset up the Alexa and play five but cannot I seem to resolve. They work fine individually the five being controlled from the Sonos S2 app and the the Alexa accessing Spotify from voice commands and streaming through the Alexa device but cannot get them linked. All thoughts and help appreciated  

Hello all, I have 2 Sonos systems in 2 different locations. I only use Google Voice service. I'm really disappointed when I switch from one to my other system (House).Sonos recognize the other system where I'm connected to. But I cannot set up Google Voice with Sonos app config.I'm always obliged to enter into Google Voice app and then make  recognized the new system, and at the end I come back to Sonos to setup the link Sonos for each of my product to Google Voice.It's really f...g process!!!! How do you manage that? Why is n it automatic???Thanks?

I have looked through the community postings and can see this issue has been reported. I have tried the suggested fix - deregister devices, disable Sonos etc in Alexa.  I can play BBC radio in Sounds using the Sonos App on my iPhone. However when I ask Alexa to play “ Alexa Play BBC Radio 2 in Living Room” or “Alexa Play Radio 2 in Living Room” it constantly goes back to TuneIn and attempts to play S4-Radio Two which no longer exists. I can specify other music to play “Alexa Play Adele in the Family Room”  without any issues.

Hei I trying to setup my google assist by using the following setupSONOS One SL (Kitchen)  SONOS ONE (Dinning room) SONOS ONE SL  (Living room)Dining room and living room are grouped in SONOS app The issue I would like google assist to reply on all SONOS devices is that even possible? (If yes how should it be done) Thanks

I have a surround system with an Amp, two cabled front speakers and two Sonos One surround speakers. As default Sonos chooses the left Sonos One (surround) as the speaker used for interaction with Google Assistant. It would be more convenient for me to use the RIGHT Sonos One surround speaker for this. How can I change this setting?

Why Sonos has google assistant but won’t let me play Apple Music, accounts appear to be linked correctly

Sonos should not be able to use Amazon Alexa seal since it’s not available everywhere. I just decided to sell my Sonos. That said, I think we should use this space to discuss about alternative devices that could replace our useless non amazon alexa Sonos. What is an equivalent speaker that is Amazon Alexa friendly for Sonos? What would you buy instead? Thank you all! Vendo todas as perguntas aqui e falta de uma atitude prática pelo time Sonos, estou decidido de vendê-la para substituir por algum dispositivo que seja 100% integrado. Acho que é mais útil usarmos esse espaço para discutirmos sobre qual produto (que não Sonos) devemos comprar com integração total à Alexa? Qual vcs indicam para eu substituir minha Sonos?

I have created a routine on Alexa. Alexa, “play cool music” Routine executes→ Play “Shuffle Playlist Cool Music on (Group Name)”In the routine, I do not have the ability to ‘play on group’ as it doesn't work. Also you only have the ability to select one device to play in the Smart Home choice in Alexa. I have a group called FRONT and I would like to play a playlist from Spotify on FRONT through Alexa. Any ideas would be appreciated.Thanks

I have just set up a new Sonos account for a new Sonos One (gen 2) but when trying to add it to Google Home (following the steps outlined here https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3486 as well as attempting to add directly from the Google Home app), I get an error message saying that this is not available in my country. As per this article https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3491 this should not be the case. I have my address set in both the Google Home app and in the Sonos account to the UK. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Sonos app (as this is the only piece of advice that seems to be available online.

Hello, Is it not possible for my Sonos SL to play music together with my nest mini and nest hub screen? I know is possible to control my Sonos via google. RegardsMathias

  Hi community, (and sonos dev team I hope  )I find two post regarding this issue but I can’t get any solution about it…Google Assistant come with a great feature named “Voice Match” that permit multiple users from a same house to retrieve custom data from their own data account (Google Home can share device to different Google account invited in a “house” and retrieve custom information from calendar and other)When I enable the Google Assistant on my Sonos One, I’m able to add the “Voice Match” feature on the Google Home app from the Google account that owned the Sonos One device.When another Google member from my house try to enable the “Voice Match” feature, they are able to list the Sonos One but the get an auth error about an auth check failure.The same test work on Google Nest device.Any idea on that ?there is some picture about that issue :Working (account that own the Sonos device)Not Working (another member from the house) Moderator Edit: Removed images with personally identif

Hello!Apparently Sonos now support Google home routines in their google assistant implemetation which is great :)However, when I start the routine “Good night” and the choosen sounds has been playing for the standard 1 hour duration, the assistant suppendly speak up and says somthing like “I dont understand this command!”.This is very annoying since this is the sleeping mode so to say and you dont want to wake up by this sound. I had a pure google speaker prior to the sonos one and that one did not have this issue.It is like the assistant doesn’t understand the command but the routine is play anyway and the error message is postponed until the routines has played.Note that this is the swedish version of the assistant.

I have successfully connect a Sonos One (actually more than one speaker) to Google Assistant.   Give the issues I was having with the Move, I did factory reset on one of the Sonos Ones and subsequently “reconnected” it to Google App so know that it can be done in this environment.   That said I have not been able to complete task on Sonos Move.   Move is visible and works on Sonos App and is Blue tooth connected to my IPhone.    When I go through the Google voice activation process the following occurs…. Select Room - (Select Sonos Move) Sonos Application then takes me to Google App where a message appears at bottom of IPhone “Device Setup in Process try again later”.   I push “Try Again” button on IPhone.   Google App then looks for my device - “Sonos Move” appears and I push “NEXT” blue button. “Allow this device to use your Google Assistant  - Sonos Move”….Push “ALLOW” blue button.   Google App then goes into a search mode “Connecting to device”….where a message appears “there may b

Hello sonosYou keep "solving" all these threads about multiple streams started from Google/Alexa by pointing the finger to google/amazon. Sonos is a big company and you use voice control as a major selling point as you do with multiple room playback. This is very disappointing! Are you working on a solution?(I use spotify premium) 

Hi,My setup is as follows:1 x Sonos One in “Bathroom”1 x Sonos One in “Bedroom”1 x Sonos One in “Nursery Room”1 x Sonos One in the “Office”1 x Sonos ARC, Sonos SUB (3rd Gen) and 2 x Sonos SL in the “Living Room”, where I have my TV, which also has an Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen) plugged in to it. All rooms have Philips Hue lights as well. The name of the rooms are set up as stated in the quotation marks. Up until now, I have used Google Assistant to send voice commands and it has been working OK, with the exception of not being able to control my Apple TV with it, obviously. I just got a HomePod Mini as a present, which I have placed in the Living Room, same place and want to be able to use it as a voice command interface, to for example, “Hey Siri, play music in Living Room” or “Hey Siri, play music in Bathroom”. What happens is, Siri plays music on the HomePod Mini instead of the actual speakers in the rooms mentioned. I am able to control the lights with Siri in specific rooms, but music i

I hope someone can help.I am looking at purchasing a new set of Sonos one for my rear speakers. Due to my current home set up i use both goggle and Alexa voice assistance.my question isCan I set these speakers up as rears and activate one speaker with Google and the other with Alexa or can you only have one voice assistant in the whole setup therefore meaning I could buy a one and a one SL and use these instead

Hi everyone, I’m considering buying a Sonos One, but before I want to be sure that I would be able to use it without any issues. I would like to control it using the cast feature of Google. I saw on the internet that I can embed the Sonos One in the Google Home app, will it mean that the cast feature will work ? Here is a screenshot of the cast feature. I’m not talking about using the Chromecast (with android TV and the HDMI Port), but only the cast feature to use deezer without the sonos app. Cast from deezerI hope you can help me with my question, and I hope that some of you found a way to use the cast feature !Thanks in advance,  

Just picked up a Beam (Gen 1). For the life of me, I can't set it up as a Google smart speaker. I am able to link my Sonos and Google accounts, but when I try to use the Google Assistant app to set up the Beam for use as a smart speaker, the Assistant app (iOS) literally just crashes. The Assistant app recognizes the Beam, but then instead of finishing up the setup process, it just closes. Tried on my iPad - same result. I posted on /r/sonos, and at least one other person is having this issue. 

So I have 3 areas Sonos1, Sonos2, Sonos3 and have grouped the 3 areas into Sonos Everywhere. I have 3 services I use (Pandora, XM, Spotify) I have been able to control everything through Alexa (Alexa play Pandora on Sonos3) and everything worked fine for the last couple years. Now when i tell Alexa to play Pandora on Sonos3 she says “music group name” is playing on Pandora (or any other music service) on Sonos3 (or either of the other 2 areas) and nothing plays. If I say to play on Sonos Everywhere it plays fine. 

It's been a month at least that asking to read a book does not work anymore. It starts reading but after a certain amount of time (it depends on the book and chapter) Sonos stops saying "song not encoded correctly" access denied. I tried this in 2 completely different systems, different accounts and different homes, and the problem is exactly the same.The problem is about Sonos speakers, in Italy, with Audible. Other services work as normal.I ask other Italians in these forums to let Sonos know about this problem.

Afternoon all and an early happy inbound new year to you.Have established the Alexa / Sonos relationships by room and our Show 15 correctly communicates with Sonos infrastructure rather well.What I’m finding less easy to understand is the content choice method …. how to get what we need playing. Having established the relationships and said ‘Alexa Play Sonos in Kitchen’ got the most bizarre selection of music that it apparently thinks I like. To say it was random would be an understatement.My question is, how to select the music we actually want to listen to in an efficient and easy way?We have Spotify, Amazon HD, Tidal Hifi and our own NAS of content. If I read right Tidal does not work within the Amazon infrastructure but I’d appreciate any links or quick look up or instructions how to select artists, albums, playlists or indeed radio channels. Many thanks in advance
