ii. Under Let Us Help You, select ‘Manage Your Content and Devices’.
To do this, open the Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone, press the hamburger menu (three lines) in the top left of the screen and select Settings. Now scroll down until you find Music under the Preferences menu. If you’ve not already connected Spotify to Alexa, press the Link New Service button and follow the onscreen instructions. I have been using Alexa for a long time without issue. After having a connectivity issue with 1 light switch and deleting/readding in Smartthings, Alexa will not turn it off/on. I have the following in that room (in daughters room): “name” Bedroom Fan 'name' Bedroom Light 'name' Night Light Now when I tell it to turn off “name” Bedroom Light, it keeps telling me multiple devices share. When I say 'play Spotify on ' then Alexa says 'To play Spotify, link your premium account first using the Alexa app.' The app is definitely linked as it works on the echo directly. Alexa commands to play TuneIn Radio also work so when I say 'play Radio 1 on ' this works straight away implying the link between Alexa and Sonos is working.

i. Click on the ‘Preferences’ tab and expand Country/Region Settings. For this example you will see that it is set to Malaysia where I’m located. We need to change it to an address in the United States.
