Here s what you need to do.

Alexa sonos all rooms.

I have several sonos play1 sonos connect and recently got a sonos one. After you ve added all the speakers rooms you have to give the alexa group a unique name like boombox. Your command to alexa via the sonos one to play music on all speakers in that group would be. Open the alexa app and select the smart home control icon.

When i say alexa play david bowie everywhere i get ziggy stardust playing in all those rooms. 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. They are two different technologies. Alexa play playlist name on room name.

The following steps assume you have all the devices and apps set up and ready for multi room. Creating groups where the sonos speakers are the default music playback for a command heard by your echo devices. Alexa does not recognize groups. Requires to be close to sonos one and have all speakers grouped.

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. Software updates i started by updating all speakers my sonos ios app and the alexa app.

You most certainly can. You just cannot group both echos and sonos together. That group may consist of sonos one bedroom sonos play 1 kitchen and maybe a play 5 living room. 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.

If you own multiple alexa speakers you can create a sonos style multi room audio system which enables you to sync the same music across multiple echo devices that could mean seamlessly listening to music as you move throughout your home or filling large rooms with multiple speakers working in tandem. When i did exactly that alexa did not recognize any device. It s the house icon at the bottom right of the screen. Associate sonos and echo speakers and create groups you can also associate amazon echo devices with sonos speakers through the alexa app.
