Sonos as Intercom / PA system

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.

    If you are looking for an iOS Intercom app that works with your Sonos speakers, check out Intercom for Sonos. It is a solid app that lets you record and send a audio message to any Sonos speaker in your home. It handles interrupting your music play really well and even has some fun voice effects you can play with.

    Nathan, any chance you will be porting your iOS app to Android?? I do like your interface and Zello like PTT method for Sonos.

    Drew, I have been following the conversations for about two years until I bought my sonos speakers, but I have not seen you on here for about a year. I was wondering what happened to your "Sonos voice" app as I can no longer find it in the app store? I have checked other country app stores and nothing there either. Is it still possible to get?

    FYI, for you Android users that are needing Sonos intercom now try the $4 Macronos for Sonos. It works for intercom functionality; you have to create custom shortcut widgets for on and off but it does what it says but know it does not resume play automatically after your page...

    Hello. I just released a complete rewrite of Sonos Voice which works and looks much much better than the old version. It also offers real time intercom ability (which Sonos Intercom doesn't so) and it's significantly cheaper as well. I would love to hear feedback!

      We need a official PA function that works through the pc app. I have an industrial supply warehouse in which has play 1's in various offices and the showroom. If they had the PA working then it would be quite cost competitive with other business PA systems.

      A great third-party solution doing voice-message broadcast, now in preview on Android: Sonofy.
