Alexa sonos play in all rooms. Added a alexa dot in the bed room thinking i could add the alexa tab to the system and control the sonos players also from the dot. You most certainly can. However if you group 3 rooms say room 1 2 and 3 via the sonos app and then say alexa play tom petty in room 3 it will play in the entire group. That group may consist of sonos one bedroom sonos play 1 kitchen and maybe a play 5 living room.
Enjoy all the conveniences of voice control with amazon alexa on sonos. It makes loads of sense to get the two playing nicely. Voice command works just fine to play music throughout all rooms. Requires to be close to sonos one and have all speakers grouped.
