Sonos one is the powerful smart speaker with built in voice control.
I have multiple echo devices and just purchased the sonos with alexa solely to add some higher quality audio to that multi room system in specific rooms.
Then if you ask the sonos one to play music it will be output on both players.
Well that explains it thanks.
Sonos one is the voice controlled smart speaker for music lovers powered by alexa and available only from sonos.
You can t group sonos devices for multi room audio within the alexa app you have to use the sonos app.
In september 2018 amazon released the avs device sdk that allows alexa enabled 3rd party speakers to use alexa multiroom music mrm.
Then from your echo dot use the command alexa play soft jazz on sonos room name and audio will be output on all sonos devices grouped with that device.
To play across both devices you will need to group them in the sonos app as normal.
If one room is playing spotify via alexa and another room asks alexa to play a song with spotify it shuts down the first room.

My house turned into a war zone instantly.
I would have thought that this paragraph particularly the last sentence gave sonos a way to tap in.
I had intended to extend with additional sonos products but not being able to link in a group with the echos as others have said is a deal breaker and will send me back to amazon.
The bad the one costs twice as.
This means amazon now supports music played from echo speakers and 3rd party speakers at the same time.
Does sonos plan to update their alexa enabled speakers one.
Its a real shame as i can t afford a complete sonos system and the primary users are elderly and struggle with technology so just being able to say to alexa play everywhere would be a great.
Just select the rooms tab on the sonos app to group the sonos devices together.
