I have recently purchased a Sonos Play 1 and I was wondering how to bluetooth enable it? If I buy an Echo dot and pair it with my Play 1, when I play movies on my laptop will it come out of the Echo dot speakers or my Sonos speakers? i.e. can I use the Echo dot's bluetooth to piggyback onto my Sonos and make it bluetooth enabled?

Thanks

I assume that you mean the new Sonos One with Alexa, rather than the older Play:1? As jgatie has stated, there is no Bluetooth connectivity in to Sonos speakers. I use a Chromecast Audio plugged into my Connect to connect other sources into my Sonos set-up, you also could use a Play:5 which also has a Line In connection but both of these would be an expensive purchase unless you wanted to expand your Sonos set-up.
