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.

Drew, it will be great if you can have the app enhanced to have a quick access to it from widget screen! Since the premise of your app is simple, I hope it will be well suited for this?

I have 6 Play1's and use them as music sources and use SonosVoice for intercom. The intercom app works ok but if Sonos integrated it, that would definitely be a large competitively advantage in fending off home integrators.

Yes definitely! I have 8 at my place .. I like to use it to play around with the family and send casual announcements out. I bet if Sonos does develop one It will be 10x as better as Sonosvoice. A bit upset that Sonos voice isnt on android but life goes on!

Hi Drew Im from Australia .. not sure if apps are universally the same .. I had it on my apple iphone but I changed to android. Would love to see little things such as a "pre tone" to catch peoples attentions and most important see it on android? If it takes me paying for it, I will be happy to pay for what ever the cost may be. Thankyou 🙂

Honestly - even the iPhone app is good for calling the kids - but the noticeable delay makes it hard to do a lot of talking in.

You would be better off with a Sonos with input (like Play:5) attached to a mic.

An app that does this is already available for Android and is called "AirAudio".

It works really well and its free.

BidBox, I know your post is 4 months old, but I created an account to say thank you. This is exactly what I needed.

Now to find a way to remote start SONOS for my mother in-law when I am at work. She has no clue how to use technology. This type of stuff is what makes SONOS really awesome!
