Your Sonos speakers must first be set up in the official Sonos App before they can appear in Wondrwall. After that, you can use the widget for quick, everyday control. **Can I play music from any source in the Sonos Widget?** You can play what is already active on your Sonos system. Some services (for example Spotify Connect) may not show full track details, and browsing the full library must be done in the Sonos App. **Can I use Alexa or Google Assistant with Sonos through Wondrwall?** Voice assistants connected to Sonos will continue to work independently. Wondrwall gives you app-based control, while Alexa or Google Assistant can still control playback by voice. **Does the Sonos Widget affect sound quality?** No. Wondrwall only passes playback controls to your Sonos system. All audio quality settings (such as EQ) remain managed in the Sonos App. - [Getting Started](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [First Questions](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/getting-started?hsLang=en#first-questions) - [Login & Home Management](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/getting-started?hsLang=en#login-home-management) - [Home Initialisation](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/getting-started?hsLang=en#home-initialisation) - [Lighting](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/lighting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Configuring Lighting](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/lighting?hsLang=en#configuring-lighting) - [Lighting Controls & Features](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/lighting?hsLang=en#lighting-controls-features) - [Troubleshooting](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/lighting?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Wi-Fi](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/lighting?hsLang=en#wi-fi) - [Heating](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/heating?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/heating?hsLang=en#general) - [About Wondrwall Heating Devices](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/heating?hsLang=en#about-wondrwall-heating-devices) - [Schedules & Heating Efficiently](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/heating?hsLang=en#schedules-heating-efficiently) - [Troubleshooting](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/heating?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Thermostat](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/heating?hsLang=en#thermostat) - [Energy](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/energy?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Configuring Inverters & Batteries](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/energy?hsLang=en#configuring-inverters-batteries) - [Scheduling & Tariffs](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/energy?hsLang=en#scheduling-tariffs) - [Troubleshooting](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/energy?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Solar PV](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/energy?hsLang=en#solar-pv) - [Security](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/security?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Arming & Disarming](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/security?hsLang=en#arming-disarming) - [Security Devices](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/security?hsLang=en#security-devices) - [EV Charging](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/ev-charging?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Configuring & Scheduling](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/ev-charging?hsLang=en#configuring-scheduling) - [Hot Water](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/hot-water?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Mixergy](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/hot-water?hsLang=en#mixergy) - [Entertainment](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/entertainment?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Sonos](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/entertainment?hsLang=en#sonos) - [Installation](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/installation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Light Switch](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/installation?hsLang=en#light-switch) - [Thermostat](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/installation?hsLang=en#thermostat) - [In-Home Display](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/installation?hsLang=en#in-home-display) - [Siren](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/installation?hsLang=en#siren) - [Smart Relay](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support/installation?hsLang=en#smart-relay) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/WW_Marque.png?width=50&height=32&name=WW_Marque.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://info.wondrwall.co.uk/support?hsLang=en) Wondrwall Support Hub Copyright © 2026, Wondrwall Group
