IFTTT - If This Then That integration with Sonos

This thread is 2 years old -- and still no integration..... please make this happen!

With more and more options for wireless audio hitting the market every month, it's going to take things like this (IFTTT integration) to keep Sonos relevant. The hardware to achieve wireless audio is getting more modular and opening up more and more possibilities to connect existing high end audio. I think growth in market share will depend on software capabilities and compatibility as this market moves forward.

Every time Sonos falls behind by a step it's going to mean slightly less revenue and make it increasingly more difficult to fund these types of development projects. This could create a dangerous feed back loop for the business.

For the sake of your customers who have invested in you, don't fall behind Sonos.

I dont understand how sonos cannot integrate that. already the whole DTS thing and now this. The department from Sonos responsible for that is so retarded.. They could easily establish themselves as the new smart things standard like philipps hue or Nest but... I cant understand that..

This thread is more than two years old, not a single comment from Sonos. This is a total lack of respect for their customers. Quite disappointed with the so-called innovations brought to us since v.4.. IFTTT would indeed be a requirement for a home audio system worthy of the name as we are now slowly entering 2016...

Sonos support can you tell us something about IFTTT? Is there any integration soon?

I would love IFTTT to be able to have the SONOS be like a door bell. Have it play a sound when phone rings, or door opens, etc... Or even connecting it to my Nest Protect when the fire alarm goes off...


IFTTT is good for integrating Web based services but would not be the best choice for an application like a doorbell. If your internet connection was down for some reason your doorbell would not work even though both the doorbell and your Sonos system are right there on your local area network. A better approach would be to use a home automation device such as Homeseer to set up the link between Sonos and your doorbell to keep everything local and reliable.

I purchased some Nest thermostats last year and have had some major fails with them due to Internet connectivity. This year I'll be moving back to network thermostats that do not depend on external services and will never again use any product that depends on external connections to accomplish their core functions. IFTTT would be great to integrate things that are web based by nature such as reading a weather forecast but it's not the best choice for integrating Sonos to other products inside your home.

Lets skip this and go straight to Sonos and Hue working together for Ambient lighting based on the actual music, the artist or album or genera.

So, let's list all the multi-room audio makers that DO respect their customers and support IFTTT, shall we?

1. Ummmm....

Ummm... you do realise that this fact is irrelevant with regards to if Sonos should support it or not? I don't know the first thing about IFTTT, I don't care if Sonos supports it or not and, actually, for me personally I would rather that they put their development efforts somewhere else. BUT, could we, as a community of users, please stop attacking suggestions for Sonos improvements with passive aggressive answers such as this one? Why not let people be enthusiastic about their suggestions for improvements, and even "I'm surprised that I can't do this with Sonos" comments, without trying to scare them away from the community at every opportunity?

Missed the point entirely, did you?

I was attacking the ridiculous notion that Sonos doesn't respect its customers..
