Google Home

This integration requires collaboration with Google. Who knows who is responsible for the delay.

Unfortunately, I don't think that will matter to Christmas shoppers.

Sonos could still release a production version of the Alexa integration before Black Friday. If it included a fix for ducking, local library support, and grouping speakers by voice I think it would be a positive enough story to salvage some Holiday sales. (And demonstrate that they do eventually follow through on completing integrations)

Yeah, right.
Google assistant is working with my $20 best buy speakers, but Google wouldn't want to work with Sonos...
Anyone know a good place to sell sonos speakers?

It doesn't quite work that way. They're already collaboration with us, it's just taking a bit longer than expected.

In any case, there's lots of second hand online marketplaces where you can post goods of all varieties. eBay seems to have the greatest success, in my experience.

This integration is crucial. Without it, I feel stuck and can't move forward.

In other words your life depends on that integration?

Sonos lost me today. I've been patiently waiting for Google Assistant Integration, but i have no trust after the latest delay. Used the early Black Friday deals to heavily buy into Google Home at discount rates. It's a real shame as I love the Sonos sound (if not the software), but there's increasingly a balance about ease of use and Smart Home integration vs. sound quality, that Sonos are on the wrong side of.

Just allow us to set Sonos as the default speaker for Google Home devices and problem solved. This would be the perfect interim option whilst the wider development is completed.

Please!!

That's a request you should be making to Google, not to Sonos.

Just made the switch from Echo's to Google Home not realizing that Sonos integration would be an issue. I can't believe this isn't solved since I've been so easily saying, "Alexa, play XXX radio in Kitchen/Dining Room/Living Room" for so long.

Sonos was far, far ahead of the game before, but like TIVO and others, missing out on integration with the other companies catching up is going to cost them. My guess is that Sonos needs Google more than the other way around.

The new Sonos Amp and "architectural audio" idea has to be woven into other home automation systems like Amazon/Google since they're the dominant players. On the other hand smarthome products are probably 0.00001% of Google's revenue, so I would think it's in Sonos' court.

I'm sure the smart people at Sonos understand this and are working as fast as they can. There must be some technical or other issue holding up the progress. If G Home integration dies, my guess is that Sonos will slowly fade too because G Home is slowly, but surely catching up to Amazon Alexa and a much better overal system. The connection to my phone, calendar, and superior speech recognition will put Google ahead now that they're really working on it (e.g. Google Home Hub).

I'm not nearly on the bleeding edge of technolgy and love my Sonos products; but if they don't work with my newest technology purchases, then they'll eventually get replaced with other products that do.
