Any update on this. Would be a very useful feature to have

I get your point, but saying it has “all the benefits of a smart speaker” is not the same thing as saying it can do everything than an echo can do it.  “Smart speaker” is much more generic , as is “benefits”.  Technically, all the sonos speakers are smart speakers since smart speaker does not mean voice control.  Sonos speakers were classified as smart speakers before echos were even sold, although I think the definition has changed to require voice assistant. 

In general, marketing material is designed to get you to want to buy the product, not to be perfectly clear on everything that the product can and can’t do.  I try and avoid making any assumptions and look into more details, ask questions, when there is a particular function I’m interested in that isn’t clearly documented.

Great feature to add if Amazon lets you!

I just set up a new One & OneSL as stereo pair to replace an Echo Dot, only to find that Drop In doesn't work. This is a must-have feature in that room as it is remote from the rest of the house. Seems I have to disable Alexa on Sonos One altogether to have the Dot continue to work alongside, which is totally pointless! May well return the Sonos One and stick with OneSL + Dot. Very disappointing! Any plans to implement Drop In?

Is this a limitation from Amazon or due to development priority from Sonos?

Please Implement Drop in on the Sonos Beam plus the Gen 2 does not make sense why some of the commands ie Alexa are not available.

Nobody knows, and Sonos isn’t telling.

Please add Alexa drop in or I may have to drop my Sonos. It was understood that I could use it same way I use echo devices

C’mon, Sonos. Either fix this or let your community know what the hold up is. Promoting Sonos products as “all the benefits of a smart speaker” is kinda BS if you can’t do things like Drop-in. Ridiculous that I’ve gotta buy an Echo dot and stick it right next to a Sonos One just to add this feature. 

Here’s another vote for Drop In functionality on Sonos. I have the Sonos One which replaced an Echo, but I am missing the ease of drop in.

Is there room for another voice in the chorus of voices calling for this to be fixed?  I just bought my son a Sonos One precisely to make use of the Drop In feature.  If I knew that Alexa only had limited functionality I might have “just” got him a Play 1, or let him get the Bluetooth speakers he originally wanted.

Alexa is NOT “built-in” to Sonos Ohe - it’s some kind of impaired digital relative that is actually built-in. Sad and misleading. 

It’s odd that you can use announcements but not the drop in feature.  If there is a Sonos moderator, it would be helpful to “hear” from you.

Please add me to that list 

Agreed. That's a massively disappointing oversight on what is otherwise a great product.  However, Drop In is not a gimmick, for some its essential.  

Sonos, please update us as to when this is going to be rectified.

I am a Sonos early adopter and love the products for music. Very disappointing that the Alexa drop in feature is not supported.  I bought this for my son’s room to upgrade his music experience from an echo dot.  I use the drop feature on the echo dot all the time.  Any updates if this will ever be supported?  

Another disappointed customer here, who is desperately hoping for Drop in for Alexa to be added to the Sonos one and Beam please.

I do notice that they have added a disclaimer to the marketing material now though, I hope this isn’t a sign that it will never come.

I actually purchased two One SL's and returned them to purchase then One's with Alexa for the sole purpose of having the integration for drop in and announcements as our house is spread out. Such sham! They need to correct this ASAP or stop advertising as full Alexa integration.
