Can Alexa control other devices on my WiFi network if I have Sonos on a dedicated network?

I’m curious to know if Alexa (via the Sonos One) can control external devices such as my TV if I’m using the dedicated Sonos network (5.1 surround) connecting via Ethernet. My concern is that if my Sonos system is using a separate/dedicated WiFi that it won’t communicate with devices connected to my home WiFi. Am I wrong? Thanks!

As long as the SonosNet device (BRIDGE/BOOST/Speaker) is connected to your router with an ethernet cable, which it must be in order for Alexa to work at all (Alexa is a cloud based system, does not reside locally), then yes, Alexa would be able to control any other devices.

I have SonosNet set up at home, I use Alexa all the time to control my lights and TV.
