Sonos brings Alexa control to its existing speakers with Beta launching today

Sonos has announced that it is bringing Alexa control to its multi-room lineup. 

Thanks to the beta, which available as an update starting today, users will be able to speak to an Amazon Echo speaker and use it to play music on their Sonos speakers. 

You'll be able to instruct Alexa to play music in specific rooms, and also control music playback directly.

To get Alexa working with an existing Sonos speaker, you'll need a separate Amazon Echo speaker to listen to your voice commands. 

Alexa support has been long promised by the audio company, after it first announced it was working on it last year. More recently, a change to Sonos's privacy statement suggested the announcement was on its way soon.
