One (Gen 2) functionality in Surround Setup

13 replies

I have a Sonos surround system - Playbar, Sub and two Play:1 as rears.

I was considering swapping a Play:1 for a One (Gen 2) to get Alexa functionality. I have done several searches and have only found the answer to one of my two my concerns.

I understand that I would not be able to use AirPlay2 with it spliced into the surround system, which is acceptable. What I can not find stated is whether Alexa would work and control the grouped speakers. With e.g. the iPlayer skill, I’d want to say “Computer, Radio 4” or other skills, “Computer, Planet Rock” or Apple Music... and so on.

If anyone can reassure me on that functionality, I’d be grateful.

Thanks.

The key part is any other search function is likely, IMHO, better than the one provided by this website.

And you’re welcome :)

I’ve had a look at that document and on reflection, I don’t think I can achieve what I want or close to it in a way that I am comfortable with, so I’m going to pass, at least for now.

I have enough Sonos for now and gave away loads when it stopped being supported (the S1 and S2 split).

Thanks for responses.

Understood. I stopped using Windows when it wouldn’t run on my ‘386.
