I am anxiously awaiting an opportunity to beta test. I was hoping the beta would be released this year but this year is almost over.

They move incredibly slowly. But first rule of private beta is u don't talk about it. It could be under way now. No way of knowing, unless you..... know.

You can use Yonami to voice control Sonos through Echo, I'm sure the official integration will be better though

It was announced that the private beta would be at the end of 2016, with a general release in 2017. No reason to think the public beta will see the light of day until well after the new year.

Ok, I'm reading about all these great plans they have to integrate Sonos with Alexa and how it's in a "private beta test".

Considering that the first thing I did when I got my brand new Echo over 2 years ago was to come here and post this topic letting them know these two products would work great together. Telling Sonos that this is a feature they needed and I wanted them to develop... Considering that (as far as I can tell) I was the first person to bring this idea to their attention, I've got one question...

Where was my private beta test invitation???

I don't believe there is yet any "super secret double probation" type of beta test. Could be wrong about that, possibly, but if there were, I'd suspect it was only employees at this point. I think the fasted method for us non-employees to be involved would be to sign up for the normal beta system. I suspect that would give us the earliest access.

Well it's a few years later and well into 2017 and still no real integration with Alexa. There were some vague promises with vague timelines. There were rumors about secret beta tests and possible release dates, but in the end it adds up to a big ol pile of jack squat.

Sorry guys, I don't think it's going to happen.

"Vague promises"? There was a major press release, several articles in trade magazines, interviews with the CEOs of both companies, a co-produced promotional video, and several updates here that the implementation is currently being worked on. This from a company that is usually very tight-lipped about current and future products.

I'm not sure you know what the term "vague" actually means. 😃
