Connect Sonos

Before you connect

Select the home you want to use first. On web, open Integrations. On iPhone and Android, open Settings, then Integrations. Open Sonos and read the availability and any limits shown for that home. If the card says it is not available to connect in your home, stop there and use the support path shown on the page.

A hosted home stays hosted when local Sonos is selected, and a local Sonos connection is only offered when it is reachable and bound to this home. A setting choice does not prove that a speaker is online or that it will play.

Connect Sonos

1. Open Sonos in your home’s Integrations list.Integrations
2. If the page offers Connect and look, choose it to discover speakers on your home network.Connect and look
3. If the page offers Sign in to Sonos, sign in to Sonos with the account that belongs to this home.Sign in to Sonos
4. After sign-in, choose the Sonos household that matches this home.
5. Finish the setup by assigning the discovered speakers to their rooms.

What you should see afterwards

After ALYT confirms the connection, the Sonos card shows the connected instance and the items it found. You can use Look for speakers again when that control is shown to refresh the list. In a connected Sonos household, the selected primary speaker may be the soundbar in a home theater or the left speaker in a stereo pair, and announcements go to that primary speaker without regrouping rooms.

On web and on mobile, the connected Sonos entry should now show the discovered speakers and their room names. If your home also uses music features, open the related device or media area to check its reported state.

Limits

• Cloud Sonos supports playback controls, but it does not expose every local library or queue feature.
• An incomplete Sonos household selection must be finished before discovery can complete.
• Do not add another account to work around a home that already has the wrong Sonos household linked.
• Connection success does not mean a speaker is online or that it played a command.
• Message volume is independent of music volume.

Troubleshooting

If the page asks for a Sonos household and you are not sure which one to pick, choose the household that contains the speakers in this home. If the wrong household was selected, remove that connection and connect again with the correct account or home.

If Connect and look does not find speakers, check that the speakers are on the same home network and that the home can use the local Sonos path shown on the page. If Sign in to Sonos does not continue, check the account sign-in details and try again from the same home.

If a speaker is not appearing where you expect it, remember that announcements go to the selected primary speaker. That may be the soundbar in one room or the left speaker in a stereo pair, and the other speakers do not need to be regrouped.

If the connection still does not complete, read the error shown on screen, correct the network or account issue it names, and retry the same connection. Do not create a second Sonos connection to investigate the problem.

To remove the connection, choose Disconnect, read the consequence, and confirm the disconnect action that is shown. Keep cancels without removing anything.
