I have an Amazon Echo Dot but can't figure out how to play music through my Play 1s using Echo voice commands. I once installed the Yonomi Android app to do this but couldn't get the whole thing working, so I uninstaled it.

Are there any step by step guides to configure Echo to work with Sonos?

I have half a dozen Play 1's but no Connect box or anything like that. I don't usually have the Play 1s configured to use Sonos Net because the Play 1 unit I usually connect to the wireless router using an Ethernet cable is the one that gets moved around into other rooms when required.

I believe the audio quality is not so great via Echo but I'm only looking for background music so it should be okay for my purposes.
