I moved into a new build house with built in ceiling speakers in the kitchen and living room. I’ve purchased the Sonos Amp to run the ceiling speakers. I’ve also purchased an Era 100 for the kitchen and one for the living room so that I can replace the Alexa Dot. In addition, I have an Era 300 in my bedroom.

 

Question 1: What is the best way to set up each room as they will have the Sonos Amp to run the ceiling speakers and an Era 100 to enable the Alexa Voice ability? Can the ceiling speakers and Era 100 work together?

Question 2: Can all of them play together as a group (ceiling speakers with amp, Era 100’s in kitchen and living room and the Era 300 in my bedroom)?

The Sonos amp and Era 100 cannot be bonded to together to form a single room in the Sonos app.  You can create a group to have the two virtual rooms play the same audio together.  

Honestly, if your only reason for getting the Era 100 is for Alexa voice capability, you were probably better off continuing to use your Echo dot.  You can setup the dot to automatically play all music requests through the Sonos app.
