Amazon Echo controller

It CAN connect to nest if you use IFFT. Google it and you will see someone created recipee to control nest with IFFT and echo.

Interesting, would you mind sharing details how to do this....!

[quote=Steve_199] If Amazon and Sonos would play nice with each other, that would be cool too. I don't care who or how, I just want.

If Amazon can play nice with Roku and allow it to display Amazon Prime Video, I'd think Sonos would have a decent chance to get some sort of integration done. Or maybe even partner to build a speaker jointly with Sonos sound quality and the Echo's voice recognition system.

There are a ton of posts all wishing for SONOS voice control. One way or the other SONOS needs to do this soon. All Amazon has to do is make a higher quality set that will support zones... Wait!!!! They could buy SONOS instead!

Can't we all just get along? Must I buy another proprietary device? I already have Sonos and I already have Echo. How about this Sonos, work with Amazon to achieve compatibility with Echo and I'll buy more Sonos speakers. You sell more stuff and I don't have to have another remote control device that does exactly what the other one does, almost. Win-win.

I've known about Echo for just a little bit. The ads seen just around Super Bowl should have sparked yet another series of requests out to Sonos. I very much would like to hear from them (vs Users) on the subject. I am very much looking forward and hopeful that Echo will be able to control Sonos at some point in the near future.

My friends admire my Sonos set up. Coupled with Echo, their minds will blow.

What say you Sonos? Any hope?

And then there was this:

"Sonos quietly added microphones to its latest PLAY:5 speaker, but describes them as future-proofing for potential new features, and says that they're currently inactive."

I registered on this community specifically so I could vote for this feature. I love the Echo and my Sonos system. Music sounds way better than the Echo, but the voice interface with Amazon Echo is unsurpassed. I find myself asking Alexa to play a song just because it is so easy, but then find myself disappointed as I know how much better it would sound if it were then playing through my Sonos speakers.

+1 Echo control of Sonos, or handoff

"Alexa, connect to kitchen speakers" - Could connect all Echo output to a sonos zone.
"Alexa, play the Beatles in the Family Room"- Randomly shuffles Beatles music as it does now, but plays it in the family room zone.

There is so much potential!

Adding my +1 to the creating an official skill for Echo to control my Sonos system.

+1. I use Echo so much more now vs my Sonos, and I have 8 Sonos speakers! With 2 echo pucks on order, I'm worried Sonos is on a sunset path...
