That’s pretty cool, basically a play 1 with Alexa built in. I’m glad to see the price didn’t increase.

I hope this means we can one day have official Sonos integration, with better execution.

:grin: I see the logo now. So does this mean Sonos will no longer be a “Labs” version?, if it hasn’t already changed. Will we see any benefits on our end?

If you like your Sonos system, you will love the Alexa integration. It’s not all finished yet, but has come a long way from the earlier closed Beta.

Your right! I was part of the private beta, started out rocky but is so much better. I really like the “audio ducking” feature, which lowers the Sonos speaker volume so Alexa can hear your request while music is playing.

Any more news on this? Wink now has official Sonos integration, but I haven’t heard Sonos say anything about Smartthings, and I haven’t really heard Smartthings say much of anything at all lately.
