In my account, I actually see two devices, "Sonos TV Control [Room Name]", device type: TV as well as just "[Room Name]", device type: speaker.
In the Google Home app, I renamed the TV device to "Back Bedroom TV" and voice command, "Hey Google, turn [on/off] the back bedroom TV" uses HDMI CEC to power on/off the TV. I've renamed the speaker device, "Back Bedroom Sonos", so if I say "Hey Google, play Kygo on back bedroom sonos", it plays a playlist from my Spotify.
It works waaaay better than Alexa IMHO due to the ability to customize the device name in the Google Home app.
