    Not at this time, but it's been a popular request lately to add Homekit support, which I believe is required for control via Siri. Whether or not Sonos will add that capability in the future, only Sonos knows.
    The S in IOT stands for Security.

    That would be great. Even just for volume

    With this new update to iOS 10, third-party Siri integration has been added to the consumer version of iOS. This is a huge step and I am really hoping that Sonos will implement this feature. Being able to say "play classical music from Pandora in the Living Room" would be epic. Additionally, with the addition of the Home app on iOS 10, you could potentially make Sonos products HomeKit compatible and be able to be controlled using Apple's home automation software. For example: you pull into your driveway and the lights come on, the heat kicks on, and some smooth jazz started playing. SONOS-DO IT-your whole product ethos fits right in with Apple's mindset!

    They are doing it with Alexa, which works with Apple and Android, so no walled Apple garden, thankfully. Alexa also works a lot better than Siri, from across the room even. Just need a $50 Echo Dot.

    That's great, but I want Siri support. And Home support. Also, do you know if Alexa already is supported?

    Is Alexa's walled Amazon garden rosier than Apple's walled garden?

    Sonos doesn't normally comment on future plans other than Alexa support. I would say HomeKit not hopening soon.

    They haven't replied because there is nothing official to say. Similar to the Echo integration, when or if Sonos decides to integrate with Siri there will be an announcement. Until then, there is really nothing to say.

    Plenty to say about how far behind Siri has fallen, lol.
