Glad to see we finally have proper Alexa integration with Sonos. Have been using Sonos speakers since the company first launched.



I currently have a bedroom setup consisting of a Playbar and a Sub. Separate to this, I have an Echo (that I use primarily for news, not music). With the release of the new Sonos One with built in Alexa, I'm thinking of ditching the Echo and adding two Ones to have a proper surround setup



My questions:

If I ask Alexa a question (weather, news), will the response be played back across all the speakers in the same room or just one speaker?



If I ask Alexa to play music (from Spotify), will it be played in just one speaker or all speakers in the room it is paired with?



Thank you
Hi

Amazon will decide which of the Sonos One's received the clearest voice command and the output will come from that device only.

As a default, it will play to the entire Sonos Room but this is also driven by Alexa Groups. Please see my post here for an explanation: https://en.community.sonos.com/amazon-alexa-and-sonos-229102/an-overview-and-explanation-of-the-new-support-for-alexa-grouping-6817788
