Amazon Echo controller

You can't just add this feature to sonos, it would need a whole new product to work like the Echo.
I suggested Sonos make their own voice controller, it just seems a natural next step. The Echo doesn't have anywhere near the sound quality of Sonos yet I still find myself using it because saying what I want is easier than finding my phone or my iPad, hitting the code, opening the app and finding the song or station I want. ... 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.

Sonos speakers may use mesh to communicate amongst themselves.. but at least one or a hub is connected to your network which is where commands are transmitted through. Would LOVE LOVE LOVE if amazon Echo could just output its audio through sonos or next best thing.. at least be able to control audio playback of sonos. The echo speaker isn't nearly as powerful and full sounding as a sonos 1 or any of the higher level sonos speakers.

Just sent a detailed email on this topic to both Sonos and the Amazon Echo folks. Both products would win. Can't be that hard to do as Echo has launched integration with various wifi gadgets (lights, Nest) and also IFTTT in the last month.

I would very much like to see this feature as well.  I just got the echo and have barely begun to use it, but it would be awesome if it could control my SONOS system.  

Add me to the list. I ordered the Echo months ago and forgot about it. When it showed up, I thought, "meh" it's a curiosity. Then I plugged it in and tried it out. Like an earlier poster, I find myself using the echo (even though it has far inferior sound), because it's so convenient.  One great example: I didn't realize I could get my local stations through TuneIn - which has been right there and available via Sonos since I got my setup - until Echo found it for me. And now I listen constantly. 
I love my Sonos gear, and it's far superior to the Echo - but I find myself using the echo more often lately.  :-/
Integration between the two would be incredible for me.
Of course, I'd also like the echo to connect to my Nest thermostat too.  :-)

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.

Thanks Austin. Yes, I'm aware of that, but I'd much prefer something baked-in rather than kludged.

Bump!  I concur!  MAKE IT HAPPEN PLEASE!

More generically, if Sonos had an open API that could be used in an IFTTT action, then all sorts of interaction models could be implemented, with or without Echo as the trigger.

Wy can't they just put an Audio Out on the Echo? We could handle the rest from there.
