You should make customers aware that alex can only be installed in Switzerland in a roundabout way. The amazon alexa app is required for the start-up of sonos one.

Got Alexa working. This requires a German Amazon account and a Sonos account whose country is set to "Germany".

Since the Alexa app is not available in Switzerland, the website (alexa.amazon.com) must be used.

After that, Alexa works quite well (with the usual local restrictions - e.g. no Swiss address can be entered as a location for the weather).

Although Alexa is supposed to be available in Switzerland now, it still doesn't work with the Sonos One (it does with the EchoDot). When will Alexa be available on Sonos products in Switzerland?

I have read that Google Home and Siri will also be integrated! If voice control works in Switzerland, that is. Can I tell the Play one to play music in the children's room even if there is a Play 1 in the children's room? Or can all older components be controlled if only one of them accepts voice commands?

@digitec, inform your customers that Amazon Alex is not available in Switzerland:
sonos-de.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4273

In which regions is Amazon Alexa available?
Amazon Alexa is currently available in the USA, Germany, Austria and the UK/Northern Ireland.

I also bought the Sonos One full of joy. The surprise was then great that the voice control did not work in Switzerland.
