Hey everybody with the impending Prime day I was wondering if I should just pony up and get a few Echo's at a great price now with hopes it will in the future be able to control my SONOS system? If yes, mind you I have zero experience with Echo, how many would you need for 6 rooms? I assume 6. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sonos has stated the following (emphasis mine):

    These new voice capabilities will be delivered in a software update that will work with new and previously purchased Sonos and Alexa-enabled devices such as Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Amazon Tap, and Amazon Fire TV.

    So the Voice Control capabilities are going to be compatible will all Sonos/Alexa units past and present, and you can be sure that if you buy a Sonos/Alexa device now, it will work with the new implementation.
