Voice control and smart home

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 old, but good quali

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.

I had google assistant working before, but moved homes and had to set everything up on a new wifi. I reset my beam and connected it to the new wifi, but can't seem to be able to connect google assistant again. I've tried disconnecting all devices from google home/assistant. I've deleted the google home app. I still have the google assitant app. When trying to link the device via the sonos 2 app it takes me to the app store to download the google assistant app, which I already have. I click to open the google assistant app and nothing happens. I've submitted diagnostics: 1886200429

My Sonos system and Google Assistant used to work fine. But now I can’t get my Beam to connect with GA, and my One just tells me, there’s a problem when I try to activate GA. My Move seems to connect but there’s a huge delay in answers. I’ve rebooted my Sonos system and reconnected all my units. I’ve sent you a report 776108334

Sorry if this question has been ragged before, is anyone having better luck with adding google assistant to Sonos One (S2 app)? I can link Alexa fine, but trying to link google assistant is fruitless and it keeps going around in circles trying to connect.I heard it might be an iPhone issue? I don't have any android devices to try and connect it with. I was given hints that the S2 app would solve this problem, as Sonos was aware of the specific issue but it hasn't seemed to have changed anything at all..

When I ask Alexa to “Play my notifications” on every other Alexa-enabled device in my house, it almost never fails. However when I ask Alexa to do that on my Sonos soundbar, about 50% of the time she plays a song. Has anyone else noticed this?Alexa on the soundbar seems to be biased toward assuming you want to play music. Is this something that can be corrected?I know that Alexa “learns” in a macro sense. Does she learn in a micro sense--for example that I don’t want to play music while others might. 

Until recently, when I was playing one of my Sonos playlists on my Sonos One stereo pair with GA, I could ask “Hey Google, what’s playing”, and it would tell me the song title and artist. Yesterday I noticed that it now responds “Nothing is playing”, even though it is of course playing my Sonos playlist.I have an Echo Dot in the same room that has the Sonos pair set as its default music output. If I ask “Alexa, what’s playing?”, it automatically knows that I mean the Sonos speakers, and it tells me the song title and artist as usual.So, looks like another new bug between Google and Sonos...

There have been a lot of threads and questions asking how to initiate the playing of BBC Radio Stations after the BBC removed voice control of their stations from within TuneIn. So I thought I would bring all of the recommended steps together in one thread. Open the Sonos App and click on the Search icon and then select ‘Stations’ below the Search Text box; Type into the Search Text box, the name of the BBC radio station that you want to listen to and against the station in the list below click on the three vertical buttons and then select ‘Add to My Radio Stations’. Then click ‘Done’ (For the purposes of this example, I will use Radio 2); Open www.IFTTT.com and either create an account or log-in to your existing account; If using a Web Browser, click on your profile picture in the top right hand corner of the screen, to the left of the Explore button, and select ‘Create’; Click on the ‘+’ symbol and enter ‘Alexa’ in the Search Text Box, then select the Amazon Alexa icon; Select ‘Say a

I have 4 speakers:Google Home Mini Sonos Beam SYMFONISK SYMFONISK 1 is set to default to Sonos as its default speaker in the google home app settings.3, 4, and 5 are grouped together in the Sonos app. Whatever I do, I am not able to make google play the music on the Sonos.I set up the Sonos as the default speaker but whenever I ask:“hey google play xxx music” it plays it on the google home mini not on the Sonos.  “hey google play xxx music in living room” it still plays in on the google home mini not on the Sonos. even if I ask this while I’m right next to the Beam, it will still play on the google home mini. “hey google move the music to living room speaker” it will say that this is not supported. “hey google play the news” it will stiil play on the google home mini.Why are these 5 actions impossible?

Puerto Rico, to the surprise of some, is USA, yet Google is not available in Sonos. It is available in every other device that I have tried.Pls fix.

This all used to work.  Now it doesn’t.  Or maybe my memory has gone.  My playbar is connected to my tv and volume works fine when watching tv.  But I could have sworn that I could say “Alexa, play my music on Sonos” and it would play my music.  The Alexa Sonos skill is enabled.  But when I ask Alexa to play my music on Sonos, it says “Shuffling your music on Amazon Music” but nothing comes out of the playbar.  Nothing comes out of anywhere (no echo/dot devices  play anything which is expected).  I’m at a loss.  

Is there a way to change which speakers microphones are used for Google Assistant? When I had a Soundboard the surround Ones used to work perfectly. Since buying an Arc it seems to only use its own microphone which doesn't hear very well.

Hello bonjour, English : I am not sure of the possibility ton ask Siri to control my ikea-Sonos Symfonisk : I have added it in Apple HOME app, but it says : there is no control available. Same with Google assistant. (in France) Français : je voulais essayer de controle mon Symfonisk avec siri ou google mais visiblement, aucun contrôle ne semble possible même en l’ayant ajouté dans les applications Maison de Apple et Google Home.

I have quite a complex setup of:3 Sonos Ones w/ Alexa in individual rooms2 Sonos ones (w/o Alexa) and a sonos beam w/Alexa as a surround sound A bedroom with a playbarA boost Every single Sonos/Alexa product requires me to ask Alexa twice to do anything. It’s quite interesting. Any ideas please? 

Alexa responds when her name is spoken and after I ask her to play for instance BBC radio 6 music she says, Sorry I’m having trouble please try in a little while.  What is the problem here.  I’ve tried removing the voice assistant and re-adding as well as disabling/re-enabling the skill and linking my BBC account within the Alexa app but still get the same message.   All devices are up to date.   Same thing happens on both Play One and my Beam.  Used to work flawlessly but stopped working some months ago.   I thought it might be the wifi but the Beam is about 2 feet from the router.   Any suggestions before I lose the will to live.   Thanks in advance 

da qualche giorno i miei speaker sonos one non riproducono moltissime radio da tunein. Da altri dispositivi riesco invece a sentirle----recentely my sonos one speakers not played a lot of tunein radios.From other devices same radios working

When saying “Alexa, play Spotify” Alexa chimes and responds “here is Spotify” but nothing plays. Same result when requesting to play SiriusXM or any other service. However, Spotify plays when using the Sonos app on my phone but when saying “Alexa, pause” Alexa chimes but doesn’t pause the music. Alexa does however respond to requests like “Alexa, what’s the weather?”  It seems while it’s recognizing the linked services it’s just not controlling them. 

Hello All, new to the Sonos community here. I am wanting to play music in my “upstairs group” which consists of two echo dots and a recently added Sonos Arc however, I am unable to do so. I did see, a few years ago, where this feature was unavailable (it was either one or the other -SONOS group OR ALEXA devices Group but not both) and was wondering if anything has changed? Thank you III advance. Mark
