A quick video about setting up Sonos speakers to work seamlessly with an Alexa voice control setup. How to create multiroom groups with Alexa voice commands.

Thanks - I looked for hours for a video with info about Sonos multispeaker home integration and you had it all here! :)

Thank you for making this video. I've got a legacy Play 1 system and wondered for years how to turn it into a smart setup with Alexa. Am buying an echo now!

YESS!!! Exactly what I was looking for - took me ages to find this

I have 9 Echo Dots and 3 Sonos Amps that power various rooms in my house. To setup Sonos speakers and amps to play in same group as all other Echo dots simultaneously, I had to resort to feeding my Sonos speakers with a 3.5mm input cable from my Echo dots. This requires a dedicated Echo Dot per Sonos because when you plug in the 3.5mm cable into an Echo Dot, it cuts out the built in speaker of the dot. So I only do it because the in-ceiling surround speakers powered by the Sonos amp that is fed by a dedicated Echo Dot sounds better than the Echo Dot by itself. I dislike the setup due to the high quantity of devices required, but end result functions perfectly and allows my in-ceiling speakers to play in my Echo Dot "Everywhere" group.

Is it possible to play music on sonos and the echo devices at the same time?

On my Alexa app I'm not seeing the preferred speaker part on the app, I have to say play music in master bedroom for it to play on my Sonos speaker, if I just say play music it will play on the echo dot, thanks for the video 👍

Can you have music playing on the sonos and echo speakers as multiroom/surround sound set up? Was thinking of adding the new echo 4 instead of buying a new sonos one!

I use alexa through my sonos speaker and app, I've just been given a echo dot, do I add that to the sonos app or download alexa app and add the sonos speaker to that.(if that makes sense lol).

When you do this does the Alexa voice when she is responding to you come from the Sonos speaker or does it still come from the dot? For example if you ask about The weather will she respond on the Sonos on speaker?

Thanks for the video. Quick question, When you tell the alexa to play, is the echo dot playing the music, or is the
Sonos speaker playing the music?

Does it still work for you? I can’t get the groups to be within another group as it shows the speakers grayed out as being used already...I have the most up to date version of the Alexa app. Help pls been trying to figure this out forever.
