Hello, I couldn't find anything on this. Does the Sonos One work with the ADT Alexa skill to turn my alarm on and off? I know the Sonos One has limited Alexa skills out of the gate, so wasn't sure about this one. Thanks.

Hello there, vcoley12. Thanks for posting to the Community. When it comes to Alexa skills, you should rest easy that the skill will work. Most IoT (Internet of Things) devices work with no problems encountered, the biggest issues seem to occur when skills call for audio/music to be played through Sonos.

On a more personal note, are you sure you want your home security system to be accessed through voice? I have an August Lock on my front door and relatively loud neighbors who could potentially unlock my front door easily if they were loud enough for my Sonos One to hear them in the Living Room. Needless to say, that smart lock isn't integrated into Alexa/Sonos. Even with the PIN safety feature.
