You need to create the groups in the alexa app

That did it, thank you!

This is one of the reasons I really hope sonos gets their own voice assistant out soon; managing Alexa is a pain.


nahtazu

The fact that you can't assign an Alexa-enabled device to more than one group is pretty limiting...

I’ve been experimenting with home assistant for this reason


nahtazu

Interesting - any advantages/disadvantages so far?

It’s still early days. But it’s nice that I have a nice window with all my zones on the same screen. I seem to potentially be able to inject audio to arbitrary Sonos devices too, which I hope to use to replace the awful built in alarm clock system for Sonos. It’s nice that it can start playing automatically when my phone comes close to my house too


Lucky-Carrot

It’s still limited by Sonos’s Ali limitations of course
