Question

Amazon Echo?

Dear Sonos,

I am coming to a fork in my home automation/music evolution in my home. My question is, when will sonos be controllable via amazon echo? I am voice automating everything and I feel I may need to start going away from sonos and towards other technologies that are compatible with echo.

What is the plan for sonos? when will i able able to control my sonos with my echos?

    It would be nice to know how far is Sonos from releasing this feature so that commands can be taken from Alexa. I have multiple echo dot units in my house and there is no good way to play music through them now. The one in kitchen is hooked up to the whole house audio distribution system. But if I ask the one in the Cinema to play music, it will start playing on that unit through the built in speakers of the dot.

    This upcoming feature will be highly useful! I can't wait! when when when????? Thanks for making this happen though.


    Sonos never gives specific timelines, because their timelines are dependent on testing goals met, not dates. They have stated their Alexa/Sonos implementation will be released this year, which is as detailed an answer as you are going to get.

    Thanks, it is understandable. Better that way, so it actually gets properly tested. For me this will be a huge update.
