So after finally supporting Google assistant I find that I've got a further wait ahead of me 'cause I don't live in the states. Great job yet again Sonos.

    Starting today, Google Assistant availability on Sonos is expanding to Australia, Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. You can find more details on our community announcement here.

    Are you sure it's Sonos and not Google that is the cause for Canada to be released at a later date?

    Sonos has been talking this up since 2017 and doesn't tell non US customers they need to wait longer. They own that even if Google **** them over.

    It is what it is but 2017 long.

    I don't really care. It's Sonos I paid and it's Sonos that keeps under delivering.

    You did not pay for Google Assistant, it has been delivered for free.

    It's a value added feature.....you paid for it when you bought into a "living" digital ecosystem.

    I don't want to make this a fight but the feature was announced when I bought my speakers so, yes I did pay for it.

    Well technically it's "country", since there's only one: United States.

    I suppose Sonos needs to delay Canada a bit while they add French langauge support, or at least a label saying "Non disponible en français".😊
