Cant pair new sonos one and play 1!!

Chris - Yes, they look pretty close. Agreed there are options. Sonos should have thought about the Sonos Ones being together with Alexa. But then again they sold them at the same price before, so...

you can turn off the microphones on the sonos one when not in use and only use one of the speakers as a microphone when you do use alexa . stereo pair is better sound quality than one. plus i own two sonos one's and i use them in my bedroom. the sonos one is newer tech than the play:1 and with get more of the newer features like airplay 2 and google assistant later in 2018 so your not just stuck with alexa

I think the pair of Sonos One's will be a lot better when they get rid of the darn dong sound when listening. So right now I agree with Dom1da that if I had two in a stereo pair I would probably cut off the microphone on one of them (until they make it so that they don't make the listening noise).

There’s lots of people talking about a third party app but I have my doubts as to whether that will work for adding a stereo pair to a HomeKit scene when that functionality rolls out on the One. As it is I’m going to need to add a One to every room in the house I want HomeKit control. If it’s possible, at least let me have native stereo pairs for that $2000+ outlay. With almost 30 Sonos devices in our home, I think I’ve “paid in” enough for this not to be an unreasonable request. Surely I don’t have to replace every speaker in my home every 3 years?

I'm pretty sure the only functionality being rolled out will be the ability for newer Sonos devices to play Airplay 2 streams. If you are expecting the Sonos One to be a Homekit controller like it does with Alexa, you are more than likely going to be disappointed.

It won’t be a Siri in the speaker controlling HomeKit. But if they are airplay2 speakers then HomeKit can control them (ie play to them). So Siri from phone should control them.

What would you like them to do techyjim. If it’s showjng up as speakers in the HomeKit app then I beleive they will when they become airplay2 speakers.
