My plan was to have a integrated unit upstairs and then add an Echo Dot into the kitchen and lounge over time. So far I have the Sonos One set-up (haven't played with it much yet) and added one Dot today but haven't got very far. I wanted to check what I intend to do is possible and seem to be having some trouble getting set-up.
1. Use Alexa to control music through the Sonos system - presumably this is possible and from reading it seems this should be the case with or without the Sonos One.
2a. When asking the Dot to play music (in the kitchen) it simply plays music through itself, not the Sonos and in some cases has kept playing the existing track on Sonos and a second track through the Dot - what do I need to ask/teach Alexa to do here? I don't want to play music through the dot, just control the music.
2b. As above but if I say play in the kitchen through Sonos it gets confused.
3. Can I use Alexa to add/remove Sonos speakers from a group (ie, stop playing music in the lounge) or is this not possible.
4. When I wake up the Dot, and say nothing, the Sonos system then pauses - this seems annoying/bizzare and wasn't happening with the Sonos One unit.
Just getting started here but hopefully I can get things running how I have intended with a little help!
Thanks
Scott
