Google assistant not available in Canada... Really?

Face it, It will be still limited just like alexa is on Sonos. If you really want all the feature of google assistant than just sell your sonos and buy an assistant device. Or Hook a playbar to your tv and use chromecast to play music to your tv which plays through sonos. I have been slowly selling my sonos gear because there is more feature rich tech gear out there.

And the Nordic countries?! Not even in the "coming soon" list.

Based on Sonos previous abuse of the word "Soon" this is really depressing.

We do speak English here!!, so there is no need to wait for support for Swedish or any other Nordic language.

I can almost promise that 99.9% of the owners of Sonos speakers in Sweden speak fluent English!

This is especially disturbing since Sonos Sweden posted news (In Swedish) on the upcoming Google Assistant support coming later this year (back in 2018)

😥

Has more to do with Swedish (media) laws and regulations rather than with the Swedish language.

"Soon" in the technology industry has a slightly different definition than in general English. In the technology industry it means "some time between next week and never", and is not meant to imply any sort of schedule or commitment. ☺️

It was sold to me in 2017 based on the suggestion that Google Assistant would be supported that year. Still waiting.

Hi there,

I'm not sure where you're located, but Google Assistant is available on Sonos systems in the US right now. You can read more here.

Hoping that Google Assistant should be available for the Sonos Beam and Play One in Canada July 9th, 2019.

Best Buy Canada indicated July 9th in their flyer.

Ohhh. This site says July 3rd. But it is older than the June 22nd Best Buy ads. So I am guessing the July 9th date is more current estimate.

Just checked sonos app from Canada. When adding google assistant voice service, it now takes me to sign up google home app and connect google assistant. But as soon I try to connect sonos in google home, it gives error “not available in your country”
Previously, this message was shown on the sonos app itself. Does it mean they are in middle of enabling it in Canada???

This article indicates Google Assistant is available in Canada today, July 2nd. (also U.K., Germany, Australia, France and The Netherlands)
