Hi,

I hade tried everything for 1 week but i really can’t get it to work.

Is Google Home app only working with speakers from Google?

Sonos has been added in the app but i can’t get it to play music trough Google Home app, but the Sonos Tv-remote does work?

 

(also when i’m not connected to my Wi-Fi I can’t reach the Sonos system but that’s maybe normal?)

    In short yes.  Some content provider i.e. Spotify allow for the audio to be controlled and output to Sonos plays from within the content providers App.

    To use the Sonos App, your controlling device must be logged into the same network as your players. This is of course, unless you are using the portable Roam or Move in BT mode.

    Hi again,

    That’s correct - you won’t find Sonos devices in that Media list in the Google Home App - the different (Sonos/Google) branded speakers do not play together. So you perhaps need to use the native Spotify or Sonos App.. although you can initiate/control the Spotify playback to Sonos products using the Google assistant.
