Alexa integration for SONOS

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?

The original press release stated the update will work with all Sonos devices, past and present.

Very good. Thanks for that info. I appreciate it. You rock.

I'm in the UK, which is supported by Alexa. The privacy statement update email I received from Sonos overnight has a hint about when Alexa support will arrive:

"We’re introducing some important updates to our Privacy Statement. You will be asked to acknowledge this new policy when the new software and system updates are available next week. The new Privacy Statement covers what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you can make about both."

How do you receive such mails? I didn't receive any. Assuming that Sonos has sent it to only those countries that can use Alexa, would the fix not work on systems from other countries?

I assume I'm receiving the email simply because my system is registered with Sonos. I've no idea whether Sonos is filtering the email recipients by country, or whether Alexa enablement in the Sonos software will somehow be restricted by country. I guess we'll find out soon.

Could also be an indicator for an upcoming public beta, following the private beta which has been taking place for the last couple of months.
Let's wait and see/hear. 🙂

Perhaps, but note that I'm not signed up for Sonos beta participation.

I also notice that the blog post on the new privacy terms is now live:

Well, it's not a 'fix', since it's not aimed at repairing an existing feature that's broken. It's new features. Semantics, I know...

As far as the criteria for the mailing list, I did get the email. I would bet it's because I signed up to be notified of Sonos announcements through email. Since the privacy statement is public, so it surely must apply to all customers.

I spoke with a Sonos sales rep yesterday (08/21/17) and he said the integration would happen by year end and would come in the form of an update to the Sonos systems. The way I was reading the info it sounded as if any current Sonos player would be obsolete because of the new integration, but that's not the case.

Controller app had an update in iOS today with the new privacy policy.
