Amazon Echo and Spark - cyrus.b - 07-Sep-2016

Just wondering guys if we can control the phantoms/spark via Alexa?  Looking to do things like change inputs and volume.

I'm sure there's a plan, but I wouldn't hold my breath considering the friction users are already experiencing with basic functionality (e.g. playing music from network). Personally, I would settle with an optical input on the Dialog that actually works without static (!) and then shop for 3rd party sources with software that meets my requirements. Sonos Connect is scheduled to support Alexa in 2017 (beta this year).
