Linking Echo Input with Play 3

Question

Hi,

Spotted that the Echo Input is down to £15 due to Prime Day.

Does anyone have experience of linking this to a Play 3 in the absence of it having a line in?

A Sonos play:3 can be setup to play the the audio selections you make on an echo, using Alexa groups.  You can't have the play:3 respond to you and answer questions like you could with a line in or bluetooth connection.  Paying a bit more for a dot will give you Alexa's voice on the dot, which is really just fine, with Sonos playing your music.

As stated above, get the Dot for $22.
