Has anyone got an official answer from SONOS about AMAZON ECHO Integration?

I see there are 92 articles on Amazon Echo here in the SONOS community. Has anyone from SONOS responded? Does SONOS have any intent to support Amazon Echo integration?

I can't imagine anyone not wanting that. It feels like that is just how SONOS should work. We love our SONOS system but we keep finding ourselves using the lesser quality Echo just because it's easier. I wish I could use my SONOS system as my speaker and my ECHO as the controller (unless of course my SONOS could just do the same thing). I can't imagine how anyone will beat ECHO for speed and quality of response. Not even SIRI can compete with our Amazon Echo experience.

If I have to I will replace my SONOS system with a bunch of ECHO's but I would never want to do that. Not even because of the investment I have already made with SONOS. I would buy a whole new SONOS system if I could have the AMAZON ECHO controller.

Are there any representatives of the SONOS company in this community? Can I even wish for true Integration between the two companies?

Hey guys, let's tone it down a bit and hold off from trying to agitate each other when possible.

Found this today in my feedly feed (Search on Sonos)
Sonos has announced that a 2017 software update will allow owners of Alexa-enabled devices (currently Amazon’s Echo range) to control their Sonos speakers with their voices. Yes, even models like the Play:1 that don’t have a line-in, because it'll cleverly work via Wi-Fi.

Well they're obviously working on it, since it is a feature in high demand by consumers. I personally don't like the Echo, it only supports limited music streaming options and I find it does a poor job understanding and responding to commands. But hey they've sold millions of them so what do I know :8.

And that's exactly why Sonos and Amazon Echo are "better together". 🙂 In case you haven't seen their promotional Video yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bARbx4I3xZY
