What Voice Commands can I use with a Play-Fi product that Works with Alexa?

Below is a simple list of what sort of commands you can do for a "Works with Alexa" (WwA) product. Keep in mind that these commands are simplified, but Alexa will understand and interpret some natural language, so saying “Stream” instead of “Play”, or “on” instead of “in” is also acceptable, etc., etc. Also, if “in [Zone]” is not listed, it’s optional to say that. Alexa will otherwise figure out what you’re talking about, or ask you if she detects multiple places playing.

• Play [Artist] in [Zone]
