‘Alexa - Bypass Echo Dot, Play on Sonos?’

iancairns · 2018-07-27 06:59:12

Is such a command possible? I hate the way must stuff plays on Echo Dot first. I can get Alexa to play Spotify on Sonos if I say ‘In Kitchen’ Yet if I say play my ‘flash briefing’ it always plays on Echo Dot. Any way we can disable the Dot and just use if for the automation side? Thanks

Don’t think so , mine is the same. I’ve two sonos 1 speakers and only Spotify will play on them.

If you have sonos ones it’s different I think, Alexa is built into them.
