Willing to listen to your favorite Echo music through Sonos speaker? Don’t worry pal!

It is now possible to connect your Echo with a Sonos speaker because wanting loud music isn’t a sin anyway.

For all the music lovers, through the Alexa app, you can connect Amazon Echo devices to Sonos speakers — including non-Alexa ones — to create groups where the Sonos speakers are the standard music playing for commands received by your Echo devices.

Here’s how you should fulfill your wish:

• In the upper right corner, choose the Devices button, and the Plus icon. Introduce a new group by selecting Add Group and giving it a title. The nickname ‘Music: room name’ was chosen.
• Next select the Echo device you desire to use to power a Sonos speaker (quick suggestion: you can select several Echos, which is useful if you have a pair in close vicinity to the Sonos speaker you intend to use).
• –Select the Sonos speaker(s) you wish to add to the group by scrolling down. Although we say speaker(s),’ we advocate only owning one and utilizing the Sonos app to group them together.
• Save the file.
• Your newly established group should now appear on the main Devices panel.
• In the Favored speaker area of that group’s panel, click Setup, and then pick the Sonos speaker you wish to use as the default for music playing.
• You’re done when you hit Save.

We’ve previously discussed Sonos speaker groupings. Adhere to grouping Sonos speakers collectively inside the Sonos environment to prevent any lagging or distortion — however, give it a try if you frequently have a set of speakers in sync.

We’re presuming you’ve previously had Alexa find your Sonos speakers and that they’re all displayed as smart home devices in the application for all of the above.

However, if you discover that you have too many items with the same name (for example, lighting, amplifiers, and Echos all named ‘Living room,’ it’s a good idea to change the Sonos speakers in the Alexa app.

The real kicker is that forming these groupings also removes the inconvenient circumstance of your Sonos speakers being hushed across your home when an Alexa order is sent in another area.

When a Sonos speaker is connected to an Echo device, or a group of Echo devices, via the Alexa app, orders sent to that Echo device will only trigger the music on that group’s Sonos speakers to ‘duck.’
