OK. First things first

Setup your Move on Wi-fi...click the link

Download the Alexa app onto your iOS or Android device and setup an account.

Then under “Skills” in the Alexa app select the Sonos Skill

After Alexa is setup ask her to discover devices. Hopefully, you have already setup your Hue lights and named them. So a command might be...”Alexa turn on bedroom”

Yes. As long as the Move is on your home Wi-Fi. I guess one other question is in order:

Are you currently using Phillips Hue with Alexa on other Sonos products (i.e. Sonos One or Beam)? If not then there are setup steps that need to done in the Alexa app and in the Sonos app.

Do you need a bridge or can you set it up without. Is so how do you do that.

I only have a sonos move.

A Sonos Bridge is not needed. However, the Bridge has been replaced by the Sonos Boost or you can use a Sonos speaker (other than the Move) to create the SonosNet. Even so it’s a moot point as the Move does not interact with the SonosNet.

That’s fairly straightforward...

Install Alexa VA to the Sonos Move via “Settings/Services/Voice” in the Sonos App… follow all instructions and agree to the sharing agreement and install the Sonos Skill .. place/adjust your Sonos products within the Alexa Groups (Rooms). You can adjust these groups later in the Alexa App, if required.
Next install the Philips Hue Skill in the Alexa App and add your Hue Bulbs to the Alexa Groups also… it’s a similar setup process, with sharing agreement etc.

Note ...I would always try to use unique names/identities for each of your devices/rooms/groups, just so that it does not confuse Alexa as to what particular device you are referring to in your voice instruction.

Now control your Hue bulbs with Alexa Commands… the comon/popular commands are mentioned on the information and install Alexa page of the Hue Skill, so you can... switch bulbs (individually, or by room/group) on/off, adjust their brightness and change colour etc.

Hope that assists.
