Surprised I can not find this idea in here. My house is not exactly small, and I am now running 7 Sonos players. When running the Sonos app on iPhone, it would be great to be able to select a sone (or a sone group), press a button and talk via my phone to that sone. I can not imagine it being a technically complex solution. I would be really excited about being able to use Sonos in this way, and so would quite a few others! (see discussion forum): http://forums.sonos.com/showthread.php?t=8672 Is this something that can be considered? If this could be a part of Sonos long term solutions, I would wait for it. Else I would need to start think alternative solutions.

Have you tried the Sonos Voice ios App?

Awesome suggestions Rob! I'll definitely incorporate them into the next version of the app, which I'll probably start coding over the holidays. If you run into any issues feel free to contact me either e-mail in app or on this thread.

And thanks everyone who left a nice review! You guys are awesome!

I think they have gone from zones terminology to ROOMS

You are right. The App uses Rooms. My 7 year-old controller says Zones

I started on an Android port but ran into lots of technical issues, so it's shelved for now. I definitely hope to be able to pick it up sometime soon.

While the voice app is cool and a great third party app. As far as the Sonos app development I would like them spending time with upgrades that are more to the core of the application/product itself. There is a long enough wish list.

There is an update to the iphone app for Sonos Voice. It came out 11/12/2013. It is working much better. Somehow they've got it so it will resume music play after being interrupted with a page from Sonos Voice. You have to leave the Sonos Voice app on the screen until it completely stops, then it goes back to the music playing in the app. It appears to have paused the music, then resumed it. It's getting closer to what I wanted. Sonos needs to buy this app and incorporate it into their system.

Please if any one get intercom service, please let me know, thanks
