Handling of loss of pairing between networked devices
First Claim
1. Tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause a networked microphone device to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a voice command via the networked microphone device, wherein the networked microphone device is configured to receive voice commands for a media playback system, wherein the media playback system comprises a primary media playback device configured to provide a first feedback in response to voice commands received via the networked microphone device;
determining that the primary media playback device is not available to provide the first feedback in response to the voice command; and
in response to determining that the primary media playback device is not available to provide the first feedback in response to the voice command, instructing a fallback device to provide a second feedback in response to the voice command.

Abstract
Systems and methods disclosed herein include (i) receiving a voice command via a networked microphone device configured to receive voice commands for a media playback system, wherein the media playback system comprises a primary media playback device configured to perform a function and/or provide a first feedback in response to voice commands received via the networked microphone device, (ii) determining that the primary media playback device is not available to perform a function and/or provide the first feedback in response to the voice command, and (iii) in response to determining that the primary media playback device is not available to perform a function and/or provide the first feedback in response to the voice command, instructing a fallback device to perform a function and/or provide a second feedback in response to the voice command.
