Play music on sonos by referring to the room names in your sonos app.

Alexa sonos play in all rooms.

Sonos makes the best multi room audio system and with its echo devices and alexa amazon arguably makes the best voice assistant ecosystem. Requires to be close to sonos one and have all speakers grouped. Enjoy all the conveniences of voice control with amazon alexa on sonos. It makes loads of sense to get the two playing nicely.

For example if you have a sonos room called kitchen request alexa play music in the kitchen please note that you must have the sonos app to use the sonos skill. Using the alexa mobile app you can pick and choose which alexa speakers including both echo devices and alexa enabled speakers from third parties such as the sonos one or the polk command bar. That group may consist of sonos one bedroom sonos play 1 kitchen and maybe a play 5 living room. Your command to alexa via the sonos one to play music on all speakers in that group would be.

I have several sonos play1 sonos connect and recently got a sonos one. Sonos arc one move and beam have alexa built right in for all the benefits of a smart speaker plus incredible sound for music and more. After you ve added all the speakers rooms you have to give the alexa group a unique name like boombox. Voice command works just fine to play music throughout all rooms.

They are two different technologies. Added a alexa dot in the bed room thinking i could add the alexa tab to the system and control the sonos players also from the dot. You just cannot group both echos and sonos together. When i did exactly that alexa did not recognize any device.

However if you group 3 rooms say room 1 2 and 3 via the sonos app and then say alexa play tom petty in room 3 it will play in the entire group. All you need to do is tack the name of the target speaker onto the end of your command like alexa play the beatles in the kitchen of course you ll need to rename your kitchen s echo dot. I have 5 rooms of sonos gear and a group called everywhere in which i have added and preferred all my sonos speakers. You most certainly can.

Alexa does not recognize groups.
