iOS 8 Home Kit Integration

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/

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

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?!?!

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!

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.

Thats a valid point Nathan. Sonos players can be controlled via DLNA, so the integration is possible without Sonos providing it. Several 3rd parties like Ubi, SmartThings and Connect4 already provide interfaces and driver.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Will Sonos work with Apple Homekit?. As a full time wheelchair user I like to have all my connected devices all connected in one place, will I be able to add my sonos music system to Apple Homekit? As more and more people are joining the home automation system I'm hoping sonos will add there support to Homekit.
