Can a Sonos One be added as the Alexa enabled device to an alexa smart group

I’m planning out where to add various sonos speakers and dots in additional rooms in my house. In rooms with smart lights I’d like to be able to control them with the new alexa enabled smart groups.

So can I add the Sonos One as the alexa enabled device in an alexa smart home group?

    When I try and define Groups in the Alexa app, the Sonos One does NOT appear on the "Alexa-Enabled Devices" list. My Sonos One has been working reasonably well, but I believe an appropriate Alexa Group would make it even better.

    Keen to know if this is going to be added.

    Sonos almost never pre-announces new functionality, especially when it wholly depends on the work of a partner, as this does.

    Thanks - who is the 3rd party you are referring to? I assume its Amazon. The V3 API has been out for awhile so not sure why they are depedent on Amazon.

    It would be nice if Sonos acknowledged the issue though.

    It would be great if they added this feature. Just about to kit out a new house with Alexa devices. Had planned to use mostly Sonos Ones as they sound great but i'd really like to be able to walk into any room and say "Alexa turn on the lights" so I'm probably going to go with Echo V2's instead.

      Hi

      You can control the lights via a Sonos One but not yet group lights to one, so that the command you listed in your post would work. I use 'Alexa, turn on Lounge Lights' and it works fine.
