Hi lloydyo

Depends on what you mean as 'compatible'. You can add a new Sonos 1 to a system comprising a Play 1 and have a multi room set-up but you won't be able to 'pair' them as a stereo pair.

Just as a note, it's called the Sonos One, as opposed to the PLAY:1. I think they really wanted to differentiate them, by spelling out one versus using the numeral.

But there probably wouldn't be anything like as many 'pairing' queries if they had called it the Sonos Two ......

I have the same question, i.e. does Amazon's Alexa (?Echo dot etc.) work with the old Sonos Play 1?

The question has nothing to do with stereo pairing which the only attempted answer above seems to be referring to?

Yes it will. Lots of info on the Sonos website.

    There is a link on the home page: "connect your Sonos to any Amazon Alexa device". But whatever - the important thing is you can do what you were hoping for.
