Alexa integration for SONOS

Does anyone know if/when Alexa will be supported by SONOS? I've seen a lot of conversations about a public trial in 2017 but nothing specific about dates and official release. Can anyone confirm if this integration is actually going to happen?

    I was hoping last year's announcement would mean that existing Sonos devices would be Alexa-enabled with a software update. It appears now that one would have to replace all existing Sonos devices with the new Sonos One. :(
    Not true. Existing Sonos speakers with the new app and firmware work with Alexa. I have a pair of Play 1s and a Sub all working with Alexa.

    Sonos have said so. So there is no reason to assume otherwise. What we don't know is when

    There are lots of posts on this forum if you can find them. One linked to a SONOS press release from August 2016 - sounds like exactly the kind of integration with Alexa that people are waiting for: http://press-us.sonos.com/134980-sonos-with-partners-and-industry-leaders-ushers-in-new-era-of-connected-home-listening

    This was from 2016... Sonos and Amazon have partnered together to bring Sonos owners with an Alexa-enabled device, such as an Amazon Echo or Echo Dot, the ability to use Amazon’s popular Alexa service to control their Sonos sound system. This integration will be available soon through an easy software update, SO MY QUESTION IS.. WHEN????

    The press release stated there will be a general release in 2017, and there have been various updates since stating it is being worked on and is on schedule. You aren't going to get anything more specific because Sonos doesn't give specific dates, they release it only when it is ready.

      Unsurprising, given the fact that they said in 2017 from the beginning.

      In light of the update to privacy policy email that was just sent by Sonos, it would appear that September is a likely time.

        Is it likely the Sonos speakers I just bought over the weekend will include Alexa support or did I buy them a month too soon?

        Yes all looking good for intergration quite soon, I have read the press release and all sounds great. I wonder will this be a world wide release or will the USA get it first and for the UK to wait a little longer.
        Long wait but looks as if there is light at the end of the tunnel 😃
