ok. so i got it working for those that are interested!!

install side load launcher on the android tv
install es file explorer and set up network within file ES file explorer if using windows or ftp if using a mac
download the sonos apk and place it on your desktop
now login to ES file explorer and locate the Sonos apk wherever you placed it! i placed it on my desktop
install Sonos APK to ANDROID TV
Install tv app repo to your tv by side loading or by logging in to Google Playstore on a pc and install to tv, once tv app repo is installed open it and locate the SONOS apk then click shortcut. a SONOS shortcut will be placed on the main tv screen.

There is no indication from Sonos that they are working on anything like that. However, they rarely tell us in advance what they’re working on, so no one really knows.

I do not understand, that it is so difficult for Sonos to make an app for Android tv.
It is growing very fast in popularity.
Also for Apple tv 4 there is now Suono.
So why not for Android tv ?
Again, here in the Netherlands, android tv is growing very fast.
So please Sonos , i like your products , but put a little work in it , for android tv users !

There is no Sonos app for Apple TV that I’m aware of. Would be nice if there was one, though.

As I said, we don’t know if or if not Sonos is developing one.

Yes there is.
Look at this link :
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/suono-for-sonos/id1142661172?mt=8

It is third party i believe, but it works fine, i've tested it.

Right. Third party, not Sonos developed. You’re on a Sonos forum, making a request for Sonos to creat a controller for you, and you said that they had for Apple TV. They haven’t. A third party has. Completely different situation.

Another hint , if you have no apple tv .
You can use open source software.
It is a dutch page, you have to look for : "download, dit script"
And voila , you can use AirConnect to stream Sonos to an airplay compatible product without a Apple tv.

Yes airgetlam , you are right.
It is third party.
And if i may say ?
A shame that for such a expensive product as Sonos, they were not the first.
Sorry.
