Sonos Roam Bluetooth Pairing

[feh123]

You could try from the command line and see if there are any errors. My Anker SoundCore is already paired but I did include an example SCAN dnd PAIR command below. Also some Bluetooth speakers have a factory reset button. You might want to try that.

Code:

# SCAN
pi@moode:~ $ sudo /var/www/util/blu-control.sh -s
** Scanning for only BR/EDR devices (20 seconds)
**
** Trust expires in 90 seconds
** A4:77:58:09:EE:C8 Anker SoundCore
**

# PAIR
pi@moode:~ $ sudo /var/www/util/blu-control.sh -P A4:77:58:09:EE:C8

# HELP
pi@moode:~ $ sudo /var/www/util/blu-control.sh
** blu-control.sh version 1.6
**
** Bluetooth has a range of around 30 feet (10 meters) but range
** will vary depending on obstacles (metal, wall, etc.), device signal
** strength and quality, and level of electromagnetic interferrence.
**
** Usage: blu-control.sh [OPTION]
**
** -i Initialize/reset controller
** -s Scan (BR/EDR only) and trust devices
** -S Scan (LE and BR/EDR) and trust devices
** -p List paired devices
** -c List connected devices
** -l List trusted devices
** -d Disconnect device <MAC addr>
** -r Remove paired device <MAC addr>
** -P Pair with device <MAC addr>
** -C Connect to device <MAC addr>
** -D Disconnect all devices
** -R Remove all devices
** -h Help

ETA: Also check Sonos support and see if there is a firmware update for the speaker.

Hi thanks for all the ideas. I am away at the moment but I will try these out as soon as I can and let you know.

Hi I have checked the Sonos - the software is up to date and I can bluetooth connect it to my Macbook and Arcam miniblink. I opened the moode ssh terminal and tried the commands you gave me above. The scan sees the Sonos and using the pair command with the mac address from the scan I get the message that the sonos is paired. However when I check the list of paired devices only the Arcam is present. I should say that moode will not play through my Macbook when bluetooth connected. I get error ALSA failed to open no such device for audio out. Quite a mystery to me!

Just an update. I have another older bluetooth speaker - a Braven 650. I tried this too without success. I have noticed that my Sonos Roam and the Braven are listed as trusted. So some sort of connection happened but these two speakers never fully connect.
