Question about Sonos Beam Gen 2

Does the Sonos Beam support integration with Apple's Home Kit? And can I then use Air Play 2 on older Sonos speakers, like the Sonos Play:1?

Partially possible via scenes in the Home app. The Beam 2 can do Airplay. But not the Play 1. It then participates in the group with the Beam, for example (in the Sonos App) or the 2x Play 1 are integrated as rear speakers with the Beam. Dolby Atmos requires eARC Hdmi on the TV. In my setup, I have ARC Hdmi, Beam 2, 2x Play 1 as rear LP and the SUB. It sounds great even as it is. eARC HDMI is only available on the new TVs from around 2020.
Have fun
