Alexa Multi-room Music / Audio Groups

I have a new Sonos One that I am adding to home with 2 Echo devices. In the Alexa app I am trying to setup an Audio Group for multi-room music. However, the Sonos One does not show up as an available Echo device to add to the group. What is the trick for getting this to work? Thanks.

      Yes was including the group name. But I was trying going from playing “everywhere” to playing “upstairs” so makes sense about the grouping not being broken. So still makes it a bit clunky. But as someone else said it seems to be very much a work in progress.

      Yes, and I'm not sure how much of the development is with Amazon and how much with Sonos - obviously there must be development on both sides but I suspect that Amazon control the Architecture.

      Hi everyone, I tried the steps above without success. I created a group in Alexa called downstairs. Added my Sonos speakers along with my Echo device. I can only add my Sonos speakers or the Echo as the preferred speaker, not both. So the music only plays on the preferred speaker.

      You still cannot play music over Echos and Sonos grouped together. It's either all Sonos or all Echos.
