Disable Auto-standby for Sonos Move?

I love the Sonos Move speaker. However, I'd like to add it to an Alexa multi-room music group, but after waiting for several years for Sonos to add this functionality, I'm not holding my breath that it will ever happen. So instead, my solution was to connect it to an Echo dot or Echo Input via bluetooth in order to be able to connect it to my Alexa MRM group. However, the Move seems to be continually going into a power saving mode, even while on the charger base when it is in bluetooth mode. This causes it to disconnect from the echo dot. Is there any way to disable this feature of going into Auto-standby state while in bluetooth AND on the charging base? I have a Bose soundtouch speaker that has a toggle to disable this. Does the move?
