Sonos doorbell

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

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)

Today we just announced that IFTTT and Sonos have been integrated, and you can use it with smart door bells to get chimes and other actions to work with Sonos. Take a look at our announcement post.
