I've gotten Alexa up to the point where she says she's about to play some artist, and then nothing evert happens. When I manually play stuff via Sonos app, Alexa heard "Pause", but then doesn't even pause or stop. She will, however, tell me jokes.

I have been through the factory reset procedure 5 times.

1. There are NO devices in Smart home. Trying to add a device yields 20 seconds of no activity, followed by still no devices

2. Disabled and re-enabled the Sonos via Alexa. Following the prompts, it wanted to scan for devices, and this time, it did in fact find the sonos speaker. So I added it.

And it works! I was able to tell it to play music and it did. Then I told it to stop, and it also did.

Thanks for the help. That was a tricky setup that I do not wish to repeat.
