Is Sonos Coming to the Connectivity Table?

It seems to be that countless people have asked for connectivity between their Echo devices and the Sonos CONTROLLER and Sonos has been slow to respond. Sure you can connect a DOT to a Connect or a Speaker "big deal" you could always do that. I have 3 Dots and a Echo. I also have Sonos through out my house and I like listening to Sonos when I go to bed, but instead find myself using my Dot and a Bluetooth speaker, because I can't control my Sonos with the Amazon Dot on my bed stand. Sonos users want voice control of their Sonos systems, I understand Sonos is working on that, but it should have been done a year ago. Get us something, now and enhance it later.

"Alexa play music for meditation on my Sonos system." "Alexa set Sonos sleep timer for 30 minutes." "Alexa play my podcast on my Sonos system." etc.

The Amazon Echo and Google Home are not competitors, they will be enhancers of the Sonos system. If I were in the market now, I wouldn't buy a Sonos system, because it doesn't interact with my other system, so the sooner this is done the better.

Do you Agree?

Sonos' Alexa implementation is late? Funny, they announced it was coming in 2017.

And Chris is correct, you are not going to get an answer from Sonos about any future integration with Google Home. If that is the only thing keeping you from selling your Sonos, it's time to put it on eBay, because it's not coming. Sounds like your decision is made.

I agree the sound is way better on Sonos speakers, but I only have one sonos speaker, the rest of the Sonos gear are Amps and Connects, so Google Home casting would just use the same speakers on my AVRs, thus the quandary whether to wait and hope for Sonos, or move on and have the voice setup I want and could build now.
Yeah, I didn't think Sonos would give an answer, Sonos seem secretive like Apple. Hopefully Sonos is secretly working now on Google Home integration.
