Voice control and smart home

Using Google Assistant [ga] I turn off the TV, then ask to play music on Spotify and Beam always asking me if I want to play on TV!?! I say NO NO NO and nothing happens. I have to use the app to listen to music. Very annoying. Anyone knows a solution to this? Thanks.

I’ve seen there’s a couple of similar topics about web radios not launching from TuneIn, but none fits exactly my problem. I have a Sonos One SE with the Alexa voice control. I’m based in Spain, and have used the command “Alexa play X on TuneIn” for a long time (I can either say it in English or in Spanish, and it works). But three days ago, every time I ask the same command, I get an answer like “The station X isn’t available right now on TuneIn” (well, Alexa says it in Spanish, literally “La emisora X no está disponible en este momento para TuneIn”) So it seems the command is recognized, because the name of the station is said correctly. I have another Echo device and the same command works perfectly there. Launching the station from the Sonos app on my phone also works. The problem happens with stations from my country (like “RAC1” “Cadena COPE” or “RNE Radio Nacional”), so it shouldn’t be a matter of regional restrictions. The only station I’ve manage

Hello, I’m facing a weird problem. I’m having Alexa enabled on my Move, my Arc and two Play:1. Alexa is working perfectly fine on the Move but neither on the Ones nor on the Arc. After saying “Alexa” the sound appears and after telling it “play radiostation x” it confirm “playing radio station x from tunein” but then nothing happens. As well, I have a skill setup for my favorite radiostation. After saying “play radiostation y” the skills start, the welcome me on their station and then - dead silence. All of this is working perfectly fine. Facts in reagards to the system:3x Play:12x Play:One1 Sonos Arc with Sub 3 and two SL as surround1 Move Of course, the latest software update is installed, controller up to date. WIFI/Router has been rebootet, no settings changed. If unplugged the entire system and bootet it up beginning with Arc and ending with the Move. If completely removed Alexa from all speakers, rebootet the entir

A weird one, but we use the Google Assistant on our Sonos One to regularly set timers, but now - no matter what time we ask for - it only sets a one minute timer.So in response to "hey Google, set a 10/20/30 minute timer", we get "1 minute timer starting now" We can ask Google to add to the timer, and it does this absolutely fine, but the initial request just isn't working. Oh and if we ask it for a 1 hour timer, it sets that up fine too. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone know a fix?

Hello!I have 2 sonos one which i struggle with.I want to use my google hub to (Voice) control the two speakers. I want the two speakers to be synconized, so that i Can hear the same music in both rooms.How do i do that?

I have a Sonos Beam in my bedroom and a Sonos One in my office.  If I am listening to music in my office and my wife asks Alexa something on the Sonos Beam, my Sonos One mutes.  How can I fix this?  This doesn’t seem normal.

If subscribed to Tidal music streaming service, you can link up to Sonos in the Sonos app, and you can add it to Alexa via the Tidal skill. There is no option to add it to Google Home, and apparently that’s because it is not supported.No problem - my Sonos One stereo pair runs Google Assistant, but I have an Echo Dot sitting next to them, and it’s set to use the Sonos speakers as the default music output and Tidal as the default music service, so I can just say “Alexa, play (title)”, and it plays from Tidal on the Sonos speakers.But if I say “Hey Google, play (title) from Tidal”, it thinks for a long time with the light flashing (7-8 seconds), then says “Ok, playing (title) on Tidal… Sorry, it looks like Sonos isn’t available right now.”Probably the issue is simply that Google Assistant doesn’t support streaming from Tidal. But the response is misleading, and indicates a deeper bug that I’ve noticed before, that the error “Sonos isn’t available right now” is fre

I have Sonos One with Alexa set up, and see this issue:In Sonos App, go to Settings - System - <your speaker> - Volume Limit - set to 35% Say “Alexa, set volume to 2”. Alexa sets volume to 2, all good here. Say “Alexa, what’s the volume?”Alexa says: “Device is at volume 4”.Can this inconsistency be fixed please?

For some years with my set up of an Echo Dot and a legacy Sonos Connect I have been able to ask Alexa to play any radio station and it will play on the Connect in the same room, except for BBC radio stations which would only ever play on the Dot. I had to create some trigger processes on IFTTT to get round this to play BBC radio through the Connect  However today I asked Alexa to “Play BBC radio 6 music” by mistake instead of using the trigger command and found that after the usual BBC sounds pre-jingle was played on the Dot the radio station in question started to play on the Connect.Hopefully this is a permanent fix and not an error but has anyone else experienced this?I am in the UK and have the Sonos and BBC skills enabled in Alexa app. 

While my speakers are recognized in HomeKit, the available controls are limited.  Is it possible to control the volume through HomeKit?  Seems a basic functionality. 

After the last update of something, Alexa stopped playing NPR and TuneIn on my Sonos Playbar. Alexa will still play music. However, when I ask it to play NPR, I get the “I can’t find that station” same deal with anything through TuneIn. It worked last week. I tried reinstalling the Sonos app. I tried the Sonos S1 app, same problem. I tried removing and reinstalling the Sonos skill on the Alexa app, same problem. 

I’ve been having troubles with local radio stations in Canada for the last week or so.  Reproduction Steps:Speak into any Sonos in my home “Alexa play Boom 973” or “Alexa Play Boom 973 on TuneIn”Response “The station named boom 973 is currently unavailable”. The station itself doesn’t matter, all local stations do the same thing.  What does work:The exact same command on any Amazon echo deviceLaunching the same TuneIn station via the Sonos s2 app Troubleshooting:reboot the device reboot the network Remove Alexa services from the device and re-add disable the Sonos skill and re-enableBased on this troubleshooting as well as other posts here, I think there is something fundamentally wrong at the Sonos/Alexa integration level. I am located in Canada. 

We just got a Sonos Move. It supports Alexa fine. I can write a routine for it to Say something. I can write a routine that Announces something on all devices, and the Sonos Move will make the announcement.However, when I write the Announcement routine and get to select devices, the Move is not on the list. So I cannot select just a few devices to get the announcement on the Move - it has to be all devices.The other Sonoses we have (One, Beam) appear fine.Am I missing something? 

Just recently have been experiencing a problem using the Alex skill, where I have to almost daily disable then re-enable the skill to get it working.  I have several Amazon echo devices that I use and dedicate a Sonos speaker to, and a total of 3 Amazon accounts, which has not been a problem up unitl now.  It seems that when I disable and re-enable under one Amazon device/account, at some point I will have to do the same under another.  Again, all of this has been working great up until recently.  Note: I do have a Sonos boost on my network. Anyone else running into this, any fixes?  Thanks

I just got a Beam and the audio ducking when using Google Assistant is quite annoying. I understand that any currently playing media will have its volume lowered so you can hear the response of the Assistant, but this goes on for far too long after the Assistant has finished speaking. This also means it’s listening for additional commands, so it picks up any conversation during this period and tries to search for whatever is said which is frustrating. I wish there was a way in the Sonos app to adjust this. I used to use a Google Home Mini which would duck the audio for the response, but then crank it back up to where it was as soon as it had finished speaking. If it can be accomplished on a device that is far, far cheaper than the Beam, then I’m sure Sonos can make it work. 

Hi, everyone. I got my SONOS system in IKEA, and it works perfectly. I was just wondering what are the odds for us in Serbia to get Google Assistant services? Thank you!

I have 8 Sonos AMP, 1 Sonos Playbar, and 1 Sonos Move. The AMPs and the Playbar are connected to a Sonos Bridge, which is itself hardwired to the router.In the Alexa mobile app, the 8 AMP each have a duplicate entry of the form “[AMP name] TV”This is creating confusion for Alexa voice control.Deleting the duplicate “TV” devices from the Alexa mobile app works for a period of time, but they later reappear.Powering down everything and rebooting everything does not help. The duplicate devices reappear.[Disabling the devices in Alexa doesn't seem to solve the confusion issue, but I recognize that’s not a Sonos issue and not a topic for this forum,]I would like to not have the diupliate entries in the Alexa app.Ideas?  

I'm finishing my basement and don't want to have Echos and Sonos speakers everywhere. The Sonos One speakers are great because they have microphones and Alexa built in. Do the ceiling speakers or wall speakers have this same capability? I only see the app and airplay as controls (which is weak). 

The Alexa voice assistant works fine to turn on the radio on my Sonos but it doesn’t work to turn off the radio so I have to turn it off by the plug - anyone else have this problem? - I’ve tried removing Alexa & adding it again but the problem persists 

Hi Everyone, I’m considering purchasing a Ring doorbell and would like to have it “ring” through my current Sonos Setup (Play Bar, Play1, One).   I see mixed reports on the success (and complexity) of integration. I don’t really fancy having a dedicated device to Chime or rely on my phone in the house So, is my simple requirement for a notification from Ring to Sonos to alert me someone at the door unrealistic? Thanks! 

Alexa will talk over the first few seconds of the song with name and artist of the song when requesting to play a song.  I’ve looked all over for a fix and cannot find anything.  Can someone please address this?

how do I  adjust the volume on timer when using Alexa on my sonos its so quiet and I've tried everything Timer volume on Sonos when using alexa cannot be increased any ideas most welcome or SONOS please fix 

I've had Sonos for over a decade. Started with a Play:5. Decent enough. Definitely not audiophile and doesn't compare to my B&W CDM 9NT speakers, nor do I expect it to, but I did hook a Sonos Connect up to that system for the better audio quality of those speakers. I also eventually got some Play:1's, a Playbase, a Sub, and a Sonos One.Sonos eventually rendered my old system incompatible with itself. The older Play:5 and Connect are not compatible with the other newer speakers. If I try to play through all of them on the legacy app, the sound keeps dropping out. Their solution is to buy more of their stuff and junk my old perfectly working $500 Play:5 and both of my $350 Connects. Yes. That is over $1,000 in equipment they want me to junk.Well, with the Echo, you can take the 1/8" jack and output audio to any type of amp and speaker. If the tech in the Echo becomes outdated, just get a new cheap Echo instead of throwing out $1,200 in equipment. In fact, I had an ol

Does anyone know what is the google home voice command to change the volume on my Samsung tv that is utilizing sonos’ playbar via optics setup?   for example if I was listening to Spotify on my tv or watching Hulu/Netflix?  When I ask google to increase volume on living room tv not thing happens...I tried different combination like increase volume on Sonos...living room ...etc...but no success. 

I just purchased a Sonos One SL to use with my Amazon Dot for the Virtaual Assistant only, not to play music.  I have other equipment for my music.  It appears this is not an option, or I just cannot figure out how to get my Dot to play the weather, news through the Sonos One SL.
