I have a Sonos Roam speaker (waterproof wireless triangular one). I know I can boss it around with my voice to play music. Is there a way to have it pass things (like Reminders for example) to Siri? I doubt it but I figured if anyone did know they hang out on Mastodon and might tell me.
Looks like you can at least add it to your Apple Home app, so maybe there's a way. Sonos does have a list of voice commands (didn't find an exhaustive list online), and once you've set it up, you can ask it "Hey Sonos, what can you do?"
@airwhale I think adding it to HomeKit only gives me a way to play music on that device along with other airplay devices at the same time. So far I can't find any other way it is useful, but I'm not done looking yet (:
@Verso I’ve had Sonos speakers (though not the Roam) for a long time and find its integration with anything to be sub-par. Does it use its own assistant or Alexa? If Alexa, maybe getting reminders into it and then Zapier to move those to an reminder?
@Aaron I only have the one, and it is almost exclusively a shower speaker. Since 99% of what I want it to do is play music in the shower, I haven't bothered with checking out any integration besides "use my Apple Music subscription" so I don't know if there's any way to tell it to record a reminder. I guess we will find out together (:
@Verso Wow, that’s some shower speaker! I have a cheapie ‘splash resistant’ bluetooth speaker I use for the shower. I think it was $25 on Amazon a few years ago. 😆
