Question

Sonos Connect with Alexa

This question probably has already been answered but can not find a specific answer to it. Can or will there be Sonos integration with Echo Dot using a Sonos CONNECT wireless streamer without using line in ( voice control through Alexa) I am not referring to Play speakers but Sonos Connect Device. Thanks

    There is no reason that the Sonos intergration coming out won't work with Connect or Connect:Amp. They have virtually same software as the Play units and should respond to Sonos commands via Echo Dot.

    Actually we do know. The press release explicitly stated the Sonos/Alexa integration will work with all new and previously purchased Sonos and Alexa-enabled devices.

    We haven't shared a lot of details around the upcoming Amazon Alexa integration beyond that it's coming. You can read the full announcement here. But I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when it's out in 2017.

      I know he is getting worse with the teasing. He must like what he is seeing as he normally doesn't do that.

      Hi Ryan, as long as you're teasing...
      - Will Echo/Echo Dot work to control Connect Amp too?
      - And, are we talking which quarter of 2017 for the release? (Answer will guide my Sonos purchases coming up)
      - Is there a Beta program I can join?

      Hi Ryan, as long as you're teasing...

      As per the press release, the integration will work with all new and previously purchased Sonos and Alexa devices. So yes, the Connect:Amp will work.


      - And, are we talking which quarter of 2017 for the release? (Answer will guide my Sonos purchases coming up)


      You won't get this info. Sonos doesn't give exact timetables, the most you will get is vague estimates. This is mostly because they schedule according to testing phases completed, not time or date. The press release stated "The companies will begin rolling out the experience through an invite-only beta test later this year, with general availability in 2017."


      - Is there a Beta program I can join?

      Any beta going on right now is private. Sonos does not talk about private betas. When/if a public beta is announced, you can choose to join then.
