My kids played "sonos" and "Alexa" in the car today. The script:
"Hey Alexa, play <some song>"
Then they all sing that song together. Or,
"Hey sonos, play <some song>"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand. Please use the sonos app."
It was also allowed to have fun with the volume in either system.

I love that are ... but it's frustrating that even my 4 year olds notice the tradeoff in capability. Keep working on it, sonos, we really need companies like you!

Late at night my mother falls asleep with the TV on and the smartphone playing some videos with high audio volume. Once the dog, on her bed, pressed the TV voice command button. And nothing, I found them talking brightly. The TV asked to the smartphone: "Might you repeat what you said?" and the smartphone had a politician explaining the economy. Two at night.

@HilliTech Please write on this topic. I'm considering my first purchase because I need good reliable technology, and / devices aren't great in this area, in my experience.
