Sonos Era 300

[Sy1441]

Have the Arc, 2x Sub's and 2x Era 300's as rears in my new living room, quite impressed so far.

So I have a home automation setup on Alexa that turns on the lights. Does anyone know if the Era 300 functions as a defacto Alexa that will respond to the same command ("Alexa, lights on") to turn on the lights? Cheers!

I’ve not used it but there is the option



Plus the (positive) What Hifi review says it can

AirPlay 2 streaming returns, along with 24-bit/48kHz hi-res music support from Qobuz and Amazon Music services. Voice control is also supported – through Alexa for all your smart home needs, or through Sonos’s own voice control that deals with music playback only

Hi Mike, any luck with this? Thanks a lot!

Really sorry for the late reply. Just tried it and it works just like a standard Alexa device.

Switched my outside lights on and started charging my electric bike without an issue.

I've just had a message through from Sonos about their 30% discount upgrade against my 2016 Play Ones. The ERA 300's are retailing at £399 direct with Sonos so that's bringing the ERA 300's down to a much more realistic £279.30 each. The offer is only on till the 29th of this month so I've just dropped a message to my local independent retailer to see if it worth him price matching as I would much rather use an idie but no point in him touching it if he's going to make a loss.

Won't work for the Era as they are already on discount and the 30% offer won't work in conjunction with it.

Result, the 30% did work for my old Play Ones and ended up with another pair of Era 300s for £558.60. Paired up with the Arc and full fat sub it sounds amazing in Atmos!!!
