Hello I would like to know if sonos speakers (One or player 1) can play homey voice or sounds. Thanks ---

Yes, Sonos One for sure. Play:1 should also be able to do that. There are several ways to play a sound: - via URL - in combination with the [Sounboard App](https://homey.app/de-de/app/com.athom.soundboard/Soundboard/) Voice playback is also possible in different ways: - via URL - via Build-In Option (Athoms [Sonos App](https://homey.app/de-de/app/com.sonos/Sonos/)) - via [Sonos Say App](https://store.homey.community/app/com.svipler.athom.sonos-say) (Community App Store) - via [Google Service App](https://homey.app/de-de/app/nl.qluster-it.GoogleServices/Google-Services/) Screenshot of the Sonos App (Athom): ![IMG_1750](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/1/a1c31000f404546aed0f78f0dfa19031c60e8aa7.jpeg) ---

You could also use [Universele Media Speler | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.UniversalMediaPlayer/Universele-Media-Speler/) to play sound from a UPnP Server (a lott of wifi/routers have that option). See [[TUTORIAL] How to make a Great Public Announcement (P.A.) System with any device! - Tutorials - Homey Community Forum (athom.com)](https://community.homey.app/t/tutorial-how-to-make-a-great-public-announcement-pa-system-with-any-device/43481) for more explanation if you want a announcement system (with sounds). ---

Anyone else experiencing Sonos time out errors? I’ve asked Athom support and they suggest it is due to my Homey having to work too hard. I have 120 devices and 300 flows. Everything is working fine and fast. When I reinstall Sonos it works for a short while. After that Sonos times out. When I try to reconnect Sonos I notice that the Sonos api page where I need to log in reacts very slowly. Tips on solving this issue are welcome! Thanks for taking the time reading this 😊 ---

What I used to do for the Duux app is restart the app every day. Now I get less timeouts/disconnects. Or notice it less atleast 🙂 ---

Since short of time, don´t know exactly, all the flows for Sonos are not working anymore. now, with advanced flows, i see the error: Network request failed but when i restart the Sonos app (of Homey) then it all works again for about 10 minutes or so. How can i troubleshoot this issue? Or is it an known issue? ---

Hello all, So for a few weeks now I have the following problem; The Sonos plugins works and sees all speakers (login is fine), then I do a test for example with the doorbell sound and that also works. Then a few hours later it stops working again, whenever homey tried to play something to a speaker it just keep loading… controls also stop working. Restarting plugin fixes it for a few mins, then same problem. Any idea what this could be? The speakers themselves (6 of them in the network) work fine. ---

Yes, same here! It started after Homey update 7.4.3. Nothing helps to resolve this. I tried deleting and adding the app again. I even tried a recovery. The only solution is to restart the app. And then it will work again for a few hours. Please help! I can share a diagnostic report if needed. ---

To everyone: the Sonos app is developed by Athom, you need to contact them via [this web form](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/requests/new) because they don’t answer support questions on this forum. ---

Also, restarting the plugin does not fix it, only removing it and reinstalling it. ---
