How much compatible is SONOS with Echo?

• Echo is a device which has been updated with time
  using skills. As Amazon Echo Support confirms,
  skills can be a first party as well as third
  party. While some of the skills are available on
  amazon app store, there are some which need to be
  loaded via some other ways.

• SONOS can also be installed using a skill. The
  SONOS skill is introduced by SONOS Inc. and can
  be found in Amazon echo app store for users. It
  might not be on the top of the list when searched
  but should be installed the official way.

  market. They have tried and tested the app or
  Skill earlier. Now, the app is available in
  public Beta. For now, it does not support all
  kinds of services from Amazon echo to SONOS. For

• Generally, we need to connect Amazon echo to a
  home network while Amazon Alexa Setup is taking
  place for the first time. The home network is
  wireless. Then we connect the peripherals if
  brought, to the same home network. Once it has
  also been done, the home devices can be
  controlled using one network control switch.

• SONOS is also a smart speaker. It comes with
  inbuilt streaming of services. It also has
  synchronised wireless speakers with itself which
  play in sync. SONOS skill allows Alexa users to
  use it with Amazon echo.

How to solve the compatibility issue

• The app is in beta. Hence, a lot of apps such as
  Spotify and Apple Music do not have any support
  with the device. Further, there are other issues
  too. For starters, if the voice command to amazon
  echo dot is given slowly, the music will be
  played via the echo dot itself and echo speaker
  rather than SONOS.

15

• www.Amazon.ComAlexasetup guides users to connect
  SONOS with amazon echo so that the functioning is
  seamless. If SONOS is not working in spite of
  more fluid commands, the error can also be in the
  device home connection.

• SONOS needs to be connected to the home network
  which should be same as Amazon echo. Users should
  also check the network connectivity. However, if
  all of this is not the case, check that SONOS
  skill has been used after correct installation.
  The app needs amazon account as well as SONOS
  login.

18

• Further, Amazon echo login also takes it a step
  further with two-factor authentications. Check if
  all of that is in line. If not, log in again. At
  the end, the app also cannot stream local SONOS
  streams and hence needs a lot of work for that.
  The app is in beta and hence users must stick to
  the basic functionality of the app.
