Sonos Arc: Philips Hue + Alexa capabilities?
**Hello,**
please bare with me, I'm completely new to smart home tech and couldn't find an answer through searching.
I'm moving soon and I want to get a smart home setup. Philips hue bulbs and outlets as well as the possibility to turn on/off lights via voice.
Originally, I planned on buying the amazon echo studio device, but I'll definitely be buying the Sonos Arc at some point too. So here are my questions regarding that:
​
1. Can the Sonos Arc completely replace the amazon echo studio in terms of capabilities? If not, where are the key differences - what *can't* the arc do, compared to echo devices?
2. Since the Sonos Arc does not have bluetooth, could I - in theory - circumvent the problem by linking my spotify with alexa and the arc and just tell the arc to play any songs from my spotify playlists via voice command?
3. Since I have 3 rooms in my new apartment, would it be possible to link 2 echo dots (one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom) to the sonos arc so I can do voice commands in any room that I'm in? For example, switching on music on all 3 devices at the same time
Thank you for your help!
