“By bringing the best of Sonos with the best of Alexa, we can really create a magical experience for voice controlled music in the home.  So we’re complimentary is the way to think about this…not competitive.” 

Sonos has also partnered with Lutron…which has created a wireless wall switch to control music.  Lutron’s Neil Orchowski…

“It provides access at your fingertips, hard button control where you want to play, pause, raise or lower the volume.”
