Voice control and smart home

is there a workaround in making voice assistant available? it says not available in your region. this is disappointing. i have an echo show and alexa is available. is there a workaround on this? i live in the philippines. without this voice assistant it’s just another ordinary speaker. for the price i paid i expected this to be available.

Is the amazon Alexa Sidewalk feature going to affect Sonos devices?

Hi all, I currently have a Playbar setup on my main floor with surround they does not include microphones or alexa. I am planning a surround Arc setup in my basement that will support alexa. Once that is set up, will it be possible for the following?Ask Alexa to “play music on main floor” and have the alexa from the basement Arc send the command to the Playbar system? if yes, will I be able to use an Alexa device on my main floor, an echo dot, to command the Arc to command the Playbar to play music?or is that too far fetched?!

Is it possible? If yes, how?My Samsung TV Is the type UE48J6302.BestLuca Leoni

Hi all,  Having a bit of mare - and don’t really know where to start with explaining - but I’ll try! TL;DR:I want individual voice control of each room speaker & ‘play everywhere’, but, at the moment that’s not working. Setup:Sonos 1 and ZP90 in living roomPlay: 1 in bedroomPlay: 1 in kitchenOn S1 OS because of the connect What I want:Individual Alexa control of what plays in each room (from the only alexa device, the Sonos 1 in the living room) Play ‘everywhere’ if I want to combine it all into one, big, loud sonos-festWhat I’m getting:Individual control of what plays in each room UNTIL the moment I instruct it to play everywhere. That works beautifully, but then returning to individual control of rooms stops. It plays on an individual speaker, but the wrong one. For example… play ‘xyz’ on living room will prompt the response ‘playing xyz on living room’, but it’ll appear in the bedroom.It’s taken a good few hours of my life so far! I thought it was an echo messing things up, but

Any tips? The whole "hey google, turn bathroom volume down to 10p" makes no sense? The music you're listening to then turns down to 10p? What am I missing? 

Hi there!I have a Google Assistant related issue--my Sonos System (Arc, Sub+Move) is linked to Google Assistant and everything worked perfectly fine so far. A few days ago I had to restart all devices as they were not found in the Sonos App. Google Assistant is still linked to my Sonos Move but does not work any longer (Assistant is not available). The Arc has no Google Assistant linked any longer and is also not found when I try to locate it both over the Google Home and Sonos App. Thanks for your help! As I did not change anything and it stopped working I guess this is related to the latest Software Update?!Btw I have also sent a diagnostic report with ID 257824096. Maybe you can see what went wrong.Thanks!

Hi, Just got a Google Home for Xmas and am trying to add my sonos speaker to it.  I’ve enabled the Google Assistant in the Sonos App however now when I go into either Google Home or Google Assistant app, each speaker is listed twice and I can’t seem to delete just one of them. Any one else experienced this before

Looking for feedback on everyone else’s experience with the responsiveness of their Google Assistant on Sonos devices. I got the Sonos One with Google assistant so I can use it with my other Google nest devices, but the GA on the Sonos, is terrible. Home routines can only be started on my actual Google devices and has terrible responsiveness to commands connecting to other devices such as Google chrome, glitchy Spotify commands, will activate YouTube when asking it to resume play on the TV after successfully “pausing” the TV. The GA on the Sonos is really more frustrating than it is useful. I’ve also discovered that you can’t start home routines on the GA Sonos device either. Should have gotten the Sonos without the Google assistant had I known how terrible it would be. 

Hi,My Sonos/Google Assistant has suddenly switched from talking English to Dutch today. I can’t think what caused this except it happened around the time I factory reset my old phone.  Anyway, Sonos and Google is setup correctly on my new (Pixel) phone and all language settings I can see both on Google and Sonos account are set to English. I’ve tried relinking the Assistant on Sonos and it keeps defaulting to Dutch. I’m at a bit of a loss what to do here, any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Matt

My old reminders work perfectly speaking to me. All the new ones I make appear correctly in the Alexa app but just "bing" instead of talking. I suspect this is since I updated the Sonos version . I'm  loathe to reset up the device in case the working ones won't after I try and re jnstall. Any ideas.Cheers

Just set up new Sonos One with Google assistant. The Sonos controller works and I can stream radio/music through the Sonos One. If I speak to the Sonos, the music goes quiet so the microphone hears me saying 'ok google', however I get no response from Google. If I speak with my Google Assistant mobile device active, then Google response does come from the Sonos. Any ideas Guys? Thanks DD

Hello all, I tried to find my answer in other posts but none seemed recent enough to answer my questions fully. I am redesigning my room right now which currently has 2 Sonos Ones. I am adding a TV and an Amazon Fire TV Stick. I’m wondering if I will be able to put the audio from my Fire TV Stick through my Sonos One. Also, and much less importantly, would I be able to control my Fire TV using voice commands through my Sonos?  Any help is much appreciated! Happy New Year!

When I obtained my Alexa-Enabled SONOS Move speaker in 2019 I set up a routine for Alexa to say a greeting, give the weather, and play NPR News.   It initially worked great. Then, after an upgrade by SONOS or Amazon, it played the “Audio actions in routines are currently not supported on this device” message, but then went ahead and performed the routine. Now following further upgrades the Move speaker only plays the “not supported” message and no routine. The routine plays just fine on my iPhone using the Alexa app so I presume the routine is good. Because I have so much Sonos hardware in my home I am running the S1 Sonos Controller on my devices. Does anybody have any suggestions or solutions to this little problem? Thanks much for any input!

Hi. I’ve set up my Sonos beam and 2 x Sonos ones in my lounge and connected up as surround sound to my TV. I’ve synced Spotify and everything was working great. If I asked Alexa to play Spotify the TV audio would turn off and Spotify would play. Unfortunately I’ve changed something and now Alexa won’t play Spotify. I have to go into Spotify and select the room I want it to play. Any suggestions? oh and happy new year!!!!! 

Has anyone else been able to resolve the issue with Alexa acknowledging a song request and saying “playing” on Spotify, but then just not playing.Also recent issues with Spotify just not working or dropping out (direct instructions from App, not Alexa).   Attempts to resolve by disabling and enabling Alexa and Spotify not sorted issues. Any thoughts appreciated!

Hi there, after the new year Alexa stopped working. I followed the steps on the support page but Alexa is still not responding. Someone has another suggestion? I also rebooted the Sonos and my router.  Tom

I changed router and had to set Sonos speaker up again.After set-up I said Alexa play 98.1 the bull.She said playing 97.1 the bull but no music??

I have a Sonos Arc and just bought a HomePod mini and want to be able to control the Arc through Hey Siri commands like Hey Siri turn the volume down on arc. I have added the arc to the home app but it says controls unavailable, when I ask Siri to change the volume it says there was a problem. I have removed the arc and re added it a couple times and still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. 

Can I make  tunein my default radio service on Google home.  Now if I ask to play BBC it defaults to I-Heart Radio.   I have to specify BBC channel, on tunein, on Sonos, in room.   I might as well just do it manually

I have tried to add Google Assistant to my Sonos One’s, but it gets stuck trying to link the account in the mobile ios app.  I used to be able to set it up easily, but it is no longer the case.  I switched to Alexa for a time, but I would now like to go back to using google on my Sonos speakers. It appears the Sonos app will no longer directly communicate with the Google assistant app when trying to set up the voice assistant.  It will link over to the app store to open the app, but never affects any change to the google assistant app when you open it.  Meanwhile, the sonos app gets stuck in an endless loop waiting for authorization and finally times out and gives an error message: “There was a problem adding Google Assistant” with an option to “Try again”.  I can link the Sonos speakers directly in the Google Assistant app, but Sonos does not seem to recognize it.  I have tried every combination of work arounds I can think of, linking and unlinking, but it currently will not add.  I r

How do I set up Alexa on a Sonos in hk. Alexa isn’t on the Hong Kong App Store and it’s not an option in the Sonos app - the app only offers music options not voice.  Thanks 

I recently changed routers which required me to re-set up the Sonos speakers with Google Assistant. When I go to the Sonos app and select Add a Voice Assistant, the first thing it does it force me to do a system update.  It finds an update and requires me to update.  I keep getting an update problem - error 30.  This is related to an unsported speaker on the system that we are still controlling with the one Sonos S1 app. How do I get sonos to ignore this speaker as part of the update so that I can add Google Assistant? Thanks!

Hi,I just set up my Sonos One, adding YouTube music and Google assistant.It doesn’t work right at, it’s very annoying.I say “hey google, play X by Y”Is then plays some stupid random song I never asked for. If I look what has happened it has found some playlist (not one of mine) called “Mix X’ and started to play the first (of hundreds) on that playlist!!Example;I say “hey google, play blue monday by new order”And i hear small town boy by bronski beat!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf!!If I look in the Sonos app, I see it’s decided to play some random playlist called “Mix Blue Monday” of which smalltown boy is first track.Btw, after I have ask it (as above)“sure, playing blue monday on your tube music”, then plays fade to grey by visage,

Hi SonosI would like to ask you if you could add option to all speakers which have Alexa and google assistant included independent volume option for us.Well for example Beam when I watching TV and want to turn lights of the response from Alexa is too quiet and when I will try to move the volume up on the buttons on beam it will adjust total volume on my TV as well what is not what I really want. The same on Sonos One and I believe on all voice assistant speakers.We really need in app an option to adjust Voice assistant what will not have an impact on TV volume or music volume at all. There should be setting for general volume too like it is now but independent for BOTH voice assistants please.Is there any chance you can add this feature in app please as it is really terrible experience to have it like it is now to be honest.Thank you for reply.All the best.Juraj
