Sonos taking over Homey's voice

As stated in the title. Is this possible?
So when Homey speaks, it is not homey that speaks, but homey telling sonos to speak. That would be awesome......

    If you use line-in:

    Sorry don't have a play 5. Playbar en 2 play3. So i guess i have to wait on another update?

    Or something needs to be added to the Sonos app. Home Assistant has this functionality already so it's not impossible.

    This is possible, but you have to install Sonos HTTP API (https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api) somewhere, for instance on a NAS. You could than use the Say functionality (see readme on Github on how to use). You can than create a flow in Homey that calls the Sonos API when Homey says something and repeat this on a Sonos speaker.

    Ok, sounds good. But do you mean, that i will hear it twice?"

    You can mute homey by inserting a 3.5mm audio jack that isn't connected to a speaker I believe.
    Maybe first look into Homey's settings and see if there is a mute option  o:)

    Is it already possible that you let the homey speak through the sonos speaker (no sonos 5 with 3,5mm jacket)?

    I would like to know also, since I have a Homey and Sonos through out the house

    @BasPost @iwan

    The solution provided by @runderk is actually a really good solution and works well for me. I use Google Home as a speech interface so I don't have the issue of hearing it twice.

    Ok, but do you mean that GH interfaces between homey and sonos? Or do you mean that google home is speaking.
    I would like to have the speech on sonos....
