Amazon echo is one of the most well-built devices which does what it says. With included skill adding a facility in amazon echo app on the mobile phone, it has gone a step further. Amazon echo by itself is a device which gets a lot done. It has been a perfect homely device and www Amazon Com Echosetup has been a breeze.
Use of a single Amazon account on echo also allows for seamless playback and purchase of content. Here we are going to discuss the compatibility issues of SONOS speakers with Amazon echo and how to eradicate them.
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.
SONOS is smart speakers which have their own 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 starters, there are complaints on Amazon Echo Help that the likes of Spotify and Apple music are not playable. Here, we are also discussing an issue where users are unable to connect and use SONOS to amazon echo. Since the app is still in beta. There can be a lot of reasons why this phenomenon has occurred.
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.
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.
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.
