You will need two Sonos Ones. At this time, the Sonos One won't pair as stereo or as part of a surround setup with a PLAY:1.

Unsurprising, to be honest. I’d assume a sonic mismatch along the same lines of a PLAY:5 gen 1 and gen 2.

Thank the gods they chose a different name this time 😉

Bummer. I'd be in for 1 if it could replace 1/2 of my stereo pair on my main level. Can't justify replacing both just to add the assistant features.

Pick up a Dot from Amazon, I think they're $50, and then you can control your whole Sonos system.

The response says : "At the moment" so is this something that could be added in the roadmap assuming end result is acceptable? I can tell you this I have been waiting to pull the trigger to redo my entire home. So splitting my pair Play 1s and adding a pair Alexa 1s would be fantastic. Especially if it can then drive a sub and playbar ... My wife and kids love Alexa but Amazon HW is not top of the line like Sonos is ... Very smart move! So back to roadmap item, if you can commit I will start ordering lots of stuff ... you want a company that is taking care of its "old" customers as well as new...

Wow lucky I read this thread as my son was going to get me a Sonos One to replace one of my (paired) Play 1's so I could get voice control. I have a playbar, sub & two (rear) paired play 1's in my lounge room, so adding voice control would be great.
Sonos, please provide a voice control solution for existing Sonos systems asap. You have a big user base out there that want to leverage their existing systems

Sonos, please provide a voice control solution for existing Sonos systems asap.

There is one already - it is called Dot and it costs a lot less than a new speaker.

Well, not just the Dot, but any Amazon Alexa enabled device, there is a handful of them. The Dot is, I think, the lowest priced ine, though.

Since I own 7 Sonos speakers, I would love to pair the Play 1 and Play One!
