Alexa Sonos All Rooms

You most certainly can.

Alexa sonos all rooms. Software updates i started by updating all speakers my sonos ios app and the alexa app. 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. Creating groups where the sonos speakers are the default music playback for a command heard by your echo devices. 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. Requires to be close to sonos one and have all speakers grouped. 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. 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. When i did exactly that alexa did not recognize any device. Alexa comes built in 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. When i say alexa play david bowie everywhere i get ziggy stardust playing in all those rooms.

Voice command works just fine to play music throughout all rooms. Your command to alexa via the sonos one to play music on all speakers in that group would be. 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.

I have 5 rooms of sonos gear and a group called everywhere in which i have added and preferred all my sonos speakers. Once everything was running the latest and greatest i then installed the sonos skill. Enjoy all the conveniences of voice control with amazon alexa on sonos. Here s what you need to do.
