Amazon Echo controller

I'm positive they will on the Echo II but that won't help us. I'm looking for a software solution and I'm sure it can be done if Amazon and Sonos could agree on terms.

Perhaps in conjunction with SmartThings and IFTTT it could work. I'm going to hack around and see what happens.

They could come out with a new Boost/Bridge that could integrate Echo and IFTTT. I would trash the brand new Boost and buy another just for IFTTT or Echo.

I just got my Echo and I can tell it "Amazon play The Doors" and it plays through the Echo speaker. Very cool. The problem is I've got a pretty bad ass Sonos setup and the Echo speaker can't compete. I would love the Echo and Sonos to play nice together so I can enjoy my music properly.

I agree. There are lots of times when I would normally listen through Sonos but end up using Echo instead because it is so much more convenient. Ideal would be for Sonos to support Amazon Prime Music and IFTTT so Echo could play through Sonos. I'm OK if the integration is limited to Amazon Prime if that's what it takes to get Amazon interested in this integration.

I think if Sonos doesn't do this soon Amazon is going to jump on the opportunity and start selling speakers of similar quality to Sonos. 

I even have an app on my Pebble that controls my Sonos systems... Amazon and Sonos just need to play well together

+1 - Sonos needs to engage Amazon cooperatively... Their business model is to suck the air out of a market's profit margin so they are the only competitor left. Looking at the number of existing Sonos users that listen to their inferior echo for the convenience.... That should be a big warning sign to Sonos to push integration instead of competition.

I think it would be a big win for Sonos, the only thing that might be stopping them is if they have their own voice controller in the works. I don't know if I'd pay the high price to have a proprietary Sonos controller sitting next to my Echo. Echo's versatility wins that battle hands down.

This actually shouldn't be too difficult. Sonos equipment can receive instructions via API calls. This is how the 3rd party Phonos apps for Windows Phones works. An independent developer wrote the app, it runs on Windows Phone and sends instructions over WIFI to the sonos equipment in your home. No reason someone couldn't write a similar 3rd party application that runs on Echo, takes commands via voice and relays them to the Sonos API's. Sonos could write their own or wait for Amazon or someone in the community to do it. I have no use for an Echo, but if such an app was created, I'd buy it for that very reason.
