iOS 8 Home Kit Integration
Apple have just released into BETA Home Kit. This is a selection of dev tools to help integrate smart home products together. Hopefully plans are coming together to integrate this into the iOS app. It would be interesting to see what users think to this.

I think it's a great idea. Hey Siri, play my Sonos on the deck!

I'd like to have HomeKit integration as well. It'd be very useful!

For most ideas, Sonos doesn't usually post anything until they have made a decision about whether or not they'll support the idea. There are ideas with many Likes that may not have any response from Sonos. For something like this, I'm sure their product team needs to talk to their developers about benefits, features, capabilities, and whatnot... there's planning that needs to be done, then all the work into adding this support into the app. It's definitely not something that will happen just in the next software update.
The best thing you can do is be patient and get others to come here and vote the idea up more.
BTW, as an iOS user, I have added my vote for it as well!

Please add HomeKit!!!!!!
I just bought the HUE HomeKit Bridge and it´s amazing!!!

Also just got the new integrated Hue and having HomeKit integration is amazing. It takes control to a whole new level. I don't know why you wouldn't want to do it?!
Please add HomeKit integration.
I'd like to see this, plus Zone Presets. For me, a sonos scene will include different room groupings at various pre-defined volume offsets before even selecting the audio to play. Because maybe the bathroom should be playing the same thing, but at a lower volume than a dining room, play room, office, kitchen, outdoors...
Hue+HomeKit has been way more useful than I initially anticipated, I can only hope the same for Sonos

Hi Guys,
I totally agree with this thread, please add Sonos to Apple's HomeKit.
I am like many of you on here, I also have just purchased the Philips Hue Lighting, and think the integration between Siri is amazing.
I have started to fit Sonos Amps for each room with the Philips lighting system,
but to have Siri play music in each zone and set lighting would truly be amazing for any scene.
Living in the UK and not America, our prices are far more expensive over here,
so true fans of these top quality products coming out of America should have access to their full potential.
At the end of day you have a wonderful product and we are the consumers who buy and keep your company running,
therefore we urge you to listen to this request...Please!!.

Yes. HomeKit support would be great!
I'm anxious to supplement my smart home with networked audio. It'll be a large investment; I have about 13 rooms to outfit, either by integrating existing equipment or adding new. Although Sonos is my top choice for today's options, I'm holding out for whomever comes to market with HomeKit compatibility first. Speaking commands to my wrist is a convenience I'm now accustom and addicted to. I'm really surprised Sonos hasn't indicated any plans to get on board, I imagine the consumer demand is huge. Amazon's Echo doesn't cut it for applications I intend, plus Alexa has a hard time hearing commands correctly if at all over the music it's generating (I've heard it in action at friends' homes). Come on Sonos - listen to your potential customers.
This article gives a great insight into how this could work. http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/06/apples-home-automation-success-rests-with-hardware-evangelism/
So it seems no one from Sonos ever bothers to reply to anything in these forums.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled HomeKit. The newly announced Apple HomeKit should be implemented into the Sonos system.
I would like to see this integration very much!
Sonos, why don't you reply here?!?!
Sonos, why don't you reply here?!?!
I don't have Sonos speakers because I don't need yet another networked device that has it's own protocols. I would love to fill my house with Sonos speakers, but until I can be sure it will work with my other investments I am reluctant to make the purchase.

This thread should be renamed as "apple homekit support" as ios 8 is already outdated!
Please add HomeKit support to Sonos
DITTO!
Please add HomeKit support... seems even though it is a matter of hardware, SONOS can just come out with a new version of their $49 Bridge that is HomeKit... just like Philips Hue did.

+1 for Sonos HomeKit integration
As a special chip is required, Sonos could introduce a new bridge like Philips hue has done.
