Hi,



I’ve already got a Play:1 and today I bought a Sonos Beam. The Play:1 is in the kitchen and the Beam is in the lounge.



I know that the Beam has Alexa built in and the Play:1 does not. But, what I read in store was “Play:1 is Alexa compatible when connected to an Alexa hub”.



My question is: can the Play:1 use the Beam as an Alexa hub? And subsequently, can I talk to Alexa through the Play:1 because it’ll be connected to the Beam and therefore an Alexa hub?



Thanks
baldwinz,



Your question: can the Play:1 use the Beam as an Alexa hub?



Answer: Yes



Explanation: As long as both the Beam and your Play:1 are on the same network & you have all Sonos devices discovered by Alexa, you can instruct Alexa to play content on your Play:1 from your Beam all the while you have the Beam streaming separate content.



The 2nd part of your question: can I talk to Alexa through the Play:1 because it’ll be connected to the Beam and therefore an Alexa hub?



Answer: See Explanation above.
