Can I ask Alexa on Sono One to play the sound currently on my playbase that is tv audio? I saw in another forum Alexa doesn't understand grouping.

    Hi

    There is no Alexa voice command to add a speaker to another Sonos player but you can use the Preferred Speaker option within Alexa Groups - Please see https://en.community.sonos.com/amazon-alexa-and-sonos-229102/an-overview-and-explanation-of-the-new-support-for-alexa-grouping-6817788/index1.html#post16298346

    However, this will do this all of the time and you'll need to remove the option in the Sonos App>Room Settings>[Select Your PlayBase]>TV to break the Playbase out of a group.

    @ UK....
    I was able to register my LG TV with both LG & Amazon successfully. Now "TV" shows as a devise in alexa. Still playing with preferred speaker combos trying to use TV as a subscribed service for alexa to recognize; still looking for TV in Sonos but do have my playbar overlapping in several groups/rooms but working from memory here @work after alot of various combos last night@home in both the sonos & alexa apps/skills. I did learn that the ringdoorbell2 will only play to echo (not Sonos) and I'm thinking its possible same here with the sonos ONE/TV audio. Will try with echo next. Thanks for your advise...........Was great to see TV as a recognized device in the alexa world. BTW toggling thru audio sources with button on top of my ONE in kitchen worked to get the playbar TV audio to play in the ONE without having to open my sonos app on my phone.......big step forward but still hell bent on getting alexa voice for a "alexa play tv" command....
