Sonos is a US maker of wireless speakers, soundbars, subwoofers and headphones, founded in 2002 in Santa Barbara, California. One app controls the whole system, and the speakers can also be reached from voice assistants and a range of smart home platforms.

Sonos speakers join the home network over Wi-Fi or Ethernet and are set up and controlled in the Sonos app. Third-party control goes either through Sonos's cloud Control API or through local network protocols such as UPnP, which platforms like Home Assistant and openHAB use. We found no Matter support.
That suits whole-home or multi-room audio that you want to trigger from voice assistants, routines and automation platforms. It is a weaker fit if you expect Sonos speakers to appear as Matter devices, or if you want every automation to run without the home network and Sonos's cloud being reachable.

The current app, for setup and control of Sonos speakers and audio products. It combines music services in one place, controls playback room by room, saves Favorites, runs Trueplay tuning and offers optional Sonos Voice Control. The App Store listing requires iOS 18 or later and includes in-app purchases such as Sonos Radio HD. Our Google Play link comes from a third-party listing of the same package.
The first-generation app, for the oldest Sonos products such as Zone Players, Play:5 (Gen 1), Bridge and Connect (Gen 1). The App Store listing says it now receives only bug fixes and security patches and does not work with Sonos products released after May 2020, which need the Sonos app above.

| Platform | Status | What it means | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | |||
| Wi-Fi and Ethernet | Yes | Per Wikipedia, Sonos devices connect wirelessly, over Ethernet or both. Early systems formed a proprietary encrypted mesh called SonosNet and needed one wired unit, and later versions can join an existing Wi-Fi network so a wired connection is no longer required. | Wikipedia: Sonos |
| Bluetooth | Not mentioned | Wikipedia describes Bluetooth LE only for the Sonos One (Gen 2). We could not confirm which other Sonos products support Bluetooth. | Wikipedia: Sonos |
| Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread | Not found | No support found on the Sonos pages we read. A Sonos community thread from December 2024 asks for Thread border router support, and Sonos staff did not reply there. | Sonos community thread |
| Matter | Not found | No Sonos Matter product or announcement found. Sonos joined the Connectivity Standards Alliance in 2022 and then described its involvement as early-stage. A March 2026 Matter Alpha article says Sonos appears content with AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Spotify Connect until Matter can handle media streaming. | Pocket-lint, April 2022 Matter Alpha, March 2026 |
| Voice assistants and ecosystems | |||
| Sonos Voice Control | Official | Built into voice-enabled Sonos speakers and used for music and system control. In September 2025 it gained control of Philips Hue lights on supported speakers, in US English and French, with voice processing on the speaker. | Sonos voice services iPhone in Canada, Sept 2025 |
| Amazon Alexa | Official | Sonos says Alexa works directly on voice-enabled Sonos products such as One or Beam, and that a third-party Alexa device such as an Echo can also control Sonos. | Sonos voice services Alexa Skills store |
| Google Home | Official | Sonos says Google Assistant works directly on voice-enabled products, or through a third-party device such as a Google Home speaker. The page does not describe the Google Home app setup, so we could not confirm those steps. | Sonos voice services Google Home compatible devices |
| Apple Home | Official | Sonos documents Siri control through the Apple Home app: add an AirPlay-compatible Sonos product as an accessory, then ask Siri to play Apple Music. Siri is not built into Sonos speakers, and the speakers cannot be controlled inside the Home app itself. | Sonos: Siri Apple Home accessories list |
| Samsung SmartThings | Official | A SmartThings integration exists. SmartThings says that from 8 July 2025 Sonos added an opt-in setting requiring authentication for third-party integrations. Users who opt in link their Sonos and SmartThings accounts, and the SmartThings page says routines and automations keep working once linked. | SmartThings blog |
| Philips Hue | Official | Hue lists two Sonos features: voice control of lights through Sonos speakers, which needs a Hue Bridge or Bridge Pro, and control of Sonos from Hue switches, listed as coming in autumn 2026 and needing a Bridge Pro. We did not confirm whether the switch feature has launched. | Philips Hue and Sonos |
| Open platforms and developer access | |||
| Home Assistant | Official | A built-in integration, classed as local push. Home Assistant discovers Sonos systems automatically. UPnP must be enabled in the Sonos app, and the speakers need to reach Home Assistant on TCP port 1400, otherwise it falls back to slower polling. It covers playback, announcements and text-to-speech, alarms, sound settings and battery sensors. | Home Assistant Sonos |
| Homey | Official | Athom publishes a Sonos app for Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server, but the page says a Homey Bridge is required. It is cloud-based and supports S1 and S2 speakers, with some S1 limits. An independent developer also offers Sonos (LocalAPI), which talks to the speakers over the local network. | Homey Sonos app Sonos (LocalAPI) |
| openHAB | Official | A Sonos binding is part of openHAB's add-ons. It finds speakers through UPnP and covers playback, volume, grouping, alarms and notification sounds. The Bridge and Boost are not supported because they have no playback. We read the archived 4.1 documentation. | openHAB Sonos binding (4.1 docs) |
| Node-RED | Community | node-red-contrib-sonos-plus by hklages provides nodes for playback, queue, grouping and settings of players on the local network. We could not confirm from its page whether it supports S1, S2 or both. | node-red-contrib-sonos-plus |
| Hubitat | Official | Hubitat's documentation lists a Sonos Integration app for text-to-speech and music control. We could not confirm from the excerpt we read whether it runs locally. | Hubitat Sonos Integration |
| Domoticz | Community | A community Python plugin for Domoticz controls Sonos speakers and sends text-to-speech. Its README says it depends on a separate HTTP Sonos API project and a beta Domoticz release, so it may be dated. We read a mirror of the repository. | domoticz-sonos plugin |
| Control4 | Official | Control4 is listed as a certified Works with Sonos Search Partner, with Sonos Search, Recently Played, Favorites and Playlists available in the Control4 app. The article's date is unclear. In 2017 CE Pro reported that Sonos's integration API, announced at CEDIA 2016 for Control4, Crestron, iPort, Lutron and Savant, had replaced older unofficial drivers. | SnapAV news CE Pro, January 2017 |
| IFTTT | Yes | Sonos is listed as an IFTTT service with 11 actions, including play a Favorite, play a stream, set volume, pause, resume and skip, plus a query for current playback in a room. The page lists no Sonos-specific triggers. | IFTTT Sonos |
| Lutron | Official | Lutron documents a Sonos integration in the Lutron app for Caseta and RA2 Select, so Sonos rooms can be used in scenes and a Pico remote can control one room. It needs a Smart Hub, the same network and a Sonos account. | Lutron: Sonos with Caseta |
| Sonos Control API | Official | Sonos publishes a cloud Control API at docs.sonos.com. An integration discovers households and players, sends commands such as play, pause and skip, and subscribes to events such as track changes. Sonos's own page says a LAN version is not available for wide release. We did not confirm the developer registration steps. | About Control API Connected home architecture |
