Connecting Sonos with Alexa - Music via Voice Control

Until 2017, you could only control Sonos speakers via an app. Now you can connect Sonos speakers to an Alexa-compatible device. So you no longer awkwardly search for the right song on your phone, but just give a short command. It's easy to do.

How to connect Sonos with Alexa

Whether it's controlling TVs, light switches, or even playing music, voice control is a technology trend that can't be stopped. It is currently making its way into many households with Amazon's Alexa. You can equip your Sonos speaker with voice control if you have an Alexa-enabled device such as the Amazon Echo. Here's how to connect:
  1. Make sure both your Alexa device and your Sonos system are set up.
  2. Open the Sonos app on your smartphone.
  3. Tap on the "Settings" tab and then on "Services and Voice Control".
  4. Select "Add a service" > "Amazon Alexa" > "Add Amazon Alexa".
  5. You will now be automatically redirected to the Alexa app. Klicken Sie hier auf die Schaltfläche „Aktivieren“.
  6. Melden Sie sich mit Ihrem Sonos Account an und aktivieren Sie den Sonos Skill.

Welche Befehle können Sie mit Alexa verwenden?

Ist Ihr Alexa-Gerät erst einmal mit dem Sonos-System verbunden, können Sie die Musikwiedergabe eines beliebigen Musikdienstes wie Spotify, Amazon Music oder Deezer steuern. Typische Befehle sind etwa:
  1. Alexa, Musik anhalten/fortsetzen/beenden im Bad.
  2. Alexa, überspringen/nächster Titel im Wohnzimmer.
  3. Alexa, was läuft im Kinderzimmer?
