    like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, kzread.infoUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

    I was looking at making a purchase for the Sonos One, and SL for my kitchen setup. The current temporary prices are quite attractive (Dec '20). Thanks for the detailed unboxing, breakdown, comparison, and setup process on this Sonos product. Looks like I'll be adding these into my Sonos ecosystem. Great production value, keep up the great work!

    Super to-the-point review which answered many things I needed to know. Thank you. Considering a refurb Gen. 2 from SONOS now at $134 (-10% through capital one visa). Like so many others, I have champagne tastes on a beer budget. My only hesitancy is that I use KZread music. I think that airplay will work, but I'm a little confused if Google assistant will recognize their product (KZread music), and play using that voice assistant. I'm not sure you have any experience with this, but if you do, please advise. Another hesitancy is that the available refurb color is slate…not white, which I would really prefer, or black, which I think looks sharp. Such a deal at this price…a sale on refurbished, and I really don't have the budget to be picky and buy the white ones new -- I don't think they come up in the referred category… this is what we call a First World Problem.
