I have a Sonos one and is Alexa enabled so that is what I would like to do with the Home Pod because I would prefer it to the amazon devices. I do know that I could use the Home Pod for music, etc and then use airplay to send to the Sonos system and may do exactly that.

The Dot costs $54.99 in Canada and it's currently on sale for $49.99, but you can get it often for even less if there are larger sale events like Prime Day which I believe is coming up, Black Friday etc. I have Sonos speakers all over the house and if I want, for example, to play a particular song or artist on my stereo set of Play 5 speakers in the bedroom, I just tell any of my Amazon Echo speakers in the hous to play that song or artist followed by "on Bedroom Sonos". My default music source on the Echo is set to Apple Music, Alexa will say "playing such and such from Apple Music on bedroom Sonos" and the music will then start playing. If I am playing anentire artist or album, I can then tell the Echo to turn the volume up or down, skip the currently playing song etc. Of course if you have speakers like the One where you can enable either Alexa or the Google Assistant, you don't even need another Echo speaker. We have stereo pairs of Sonos One speakers in our bathroom, the kitchen and in my woodworking shop and here I can just say "Alexa, play such and such" and since Alexa lives on that Sonos speaker it will play my request and I don't have to tell it "on bathroom Sonos" or "on kitchen Sonos".

Can I ask the HP to play something on the Sonos speakers? I have several of the Sonos speakers and love them and it would justify the high price of the Home Pod if this function was available. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
