If wanted to set up a play 5 and an echo dot via 3.5mm jack and the sonos skill enable in the Alexa app, will this set up do the below

Play music directly from Spotify on the sonos, ie it’s not playing from the dot through the jack onto the sonos?

Give full voice command control of sonos eg volume up, next track etc etc?

Do regular echo dot commands like tell me a joke get play out of the sonos?

1) yes
2) yes
3) yes, if you set up autoplay on the line in. Note that you may need to leave the 'beep' before response on, as the autoplay isn't an instant on, so if you want to hear everything through the PLAY:5, you'd need some sort of wake process.
hi I'm looking to do the same thing - did you get this to work NickBrown?
