Each of the products you mentioned have their own ecosystem. Sonos only connect to Sonos, Amazon speakers with Amazon speakers. You can't mix and match. However you can connect a Bluetooth speaket to any Amazon devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you connect the dot to a Sonos speaker with a mini audio cord, the output will be picked up at the speakers line in jack. In the Sonos speaker setup, select line in audio from the speaker that's connected to the dot. Then, when you ask the dot (Alexa) to answer a question or play amazing music, it'll then come through that speaker, or through the entire system if you select all speakers. Get familiar with the Sonos interface software and it'll come to you.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This just has a 1/8 inch output Jack and can just be plugged in with and Aux in.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I do it via an insteon hub. the hub will recognize up to 4 sonos devices. Then I just created scenes in Insteon - for example "Kitchen Sonos Pause". then in Alexa search for smart home and it finds the scenes. Gotta play with the wording a little because "Kitchen Sonos Next" and alexa tries to use amazon music. Or keep waiting - sonos direct integration has been rumored for Q1 2017
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Feature not available yet. Supposed to be coming in 2017 with a Sonos App update. For now you can patch a cable from the DOT to the larger Sonos Speaker only.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Currently sonos does not have a skill to work directly with Alexa. But sonos is developing one and it is due out early this year. Keep a lookout!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, when Sonos debuts their Sonos "Skill" in the near future
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Currently you are able to connect the Echo Dot to a Sonos device with a line-in port, such as the Play 5, Connect, or Connect Amp. It's not the best option, but it does work. The great news is that Amazon and Sonos are currently developing full integration to be released sometime in 2017. I'll provide a link to a website with details and a video created by Amazon and Sonos to explain more about it. Personally I am stoked about the upcoming integration as I am deeply submersed in the Sonos ecosystem as I have a ton of their speakers in pairs in multiple rooms in my house. Being able to control it seamlessly with Alexa would be awesome! Here is the link you will want to check out: http://venturebeat.com/2016/08/31/amazon-alexa-sonos-guide/
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sonus would have to be in Pairing mode and them you tell alexa to connect to bluetooth. She will search and connect.
