Hi all.
Tom B an excellent support guy from Sonos suggested I post this here as he knows the tech guys keep an eye on the forums for ideas and problems.
I suggested to him that as I live in a townhouse and have speakers throughout we cannot here our door bell while music is on through our system.
So.............I would like to see a Sonos doorbell that feeds through the speakers when someone presses it, perhaps loweting the volume a little as it does so that the bell is obvious over the underlying music.
What do you think?
regards
Stephen H

... the first post on this string is a year old... Just saying.

And there is less than a single page of posts in that year+, fewer than that actually supporting the idea. I'm not sure Sonos is concerned with such a fringe case with so little support. Either way, you are only going to get a canned "We will pass this along to our developers for consideration" anyway. Sonos rarely states they are working on something, unless it is a major partnership like Amazon Alexa or Apple Music.
Fair enough.

Completely agree - they stay focused on the big stuff but never give us any of the little stuff.

It can be done via Smartthings I am sure ... have Ring be the trigger. When triggered Sonos interrupt music and can text to speech "Someone is at the door". I thought it could resume but I would have to dig in deeper. All the skills may just play something after.
Doesn't Sonos Voice app resume? I'm curious now.

I wrote a simple open source server that can trigger doorbell chimes from a web request (easy to drive with IoT devices or devices like a doorbird)
