I do have an issue and have read some posts about this but couldn't find a definitive answer so here goes...
I'd like to be able to play music on Bedroom or Kitchen or both of these at the same time via an Alexa voice command. I know that you can group Sonos devices in the Sonos app but I cannot give it a name of my choosing and saying "play..... on kitchen and bedroom" won't work.
In the Alexa App I can create a group of devices so have created one called "Both" comprising both the Bedroom and Kitchen devices, but when I command Alexa to play on "Both" the device or group cannot be found - I should stress that this this is definitely configured in the Alexa app. I've even tried changing the group names. Maybe this is a bug with Alexa.
Have I tried done this correctly? Is there a way of adding two devices to a group name of my choice in the Sonos app that can be used/detected by Echo Dot / Alexa?
Or do I only have one option - use the Echo Dot to play on Kitchen or Bedroom then group the two in the Sonos app after starting through Alexa?
* Please note that these are not Sonos One devices, they're Play:1s
