      +1 seems like you’re sticking to specific script about no date to share just for the sake of it. Just enable it - seems to be a 5min exercise given skill already exists in English. Stupid to take the smart out of smart speaker at the same time Apple launching a competing device...

        Hello everyone! Thank you for sounding off. I was able to confirm with the team that the Sonos skill will be available for Alexa in Australia early this year.

        Thanks for your patience.

        You aren't going to get a date. They never give out exact dates until they are sure they can meet it, and if they were sure they could meet it, you would have gotten a date.

          Feels like so close, yet so far away. Echo is hitting the homes and we still cant switch on Voice for Sonos one.

          So much for early 2018. They're so slow with Alexa that I doubt google home will ever arrive.

          Hi guys, I don't have a specific date to share, beyond the new timeline for Alexa support. But I do want to clarify that we're talking Fall in Australia (which is generally between March and May), not Fall for the US(roughly September through November). We'll let you know if anything changes between now and then. Timelines are always a little tricky with so many moving parts, that's why we try not to give dates.

            Considering that Sonos have been saying for months that Alexa will be available soon, the Sonos One has gone on sale in Australia and that Amazon Alexa launched yesterday in Australia, it's pretty bad form that Sonos suddenly announce on the same day as the Alexa launch that it won't be available until "...later this year...". A lot of people have bought the Sonos One to be ready. Not a good way to treat your loyal customers.
