I just ordered the Harmony Hub, I'm interested to see how it handles the Sonos system.

How was the performance of harmony hub on your Sonos system? TIA

Amazon "Smart Home" skills are woefully inadequate for use by Sonos, way too rigid for what we need. They are great for simple, fixed function devices though.
Launching today are smart home skills with entertainment controls from Sony, Logitech Harmony and BroadLink. Skills from Denon, Crestron, LG and Pulse-Eight are coming soon.
