As of today, we've officially rolled out support for Google Assistant on Sonos players, and control of Sonos devices using Google Home devices. For more details, check out our announcement post here, and some of our getting started and tips and tricks posts.

Sonos has confirmed 'early 2018' but that's as much detail that's available at the moment.

Remember: Sometimes Red Wine helps :)

I don't think it was even "Early 2018"... I think it was just stated as being in 2018. Sonos' press release regarding Alexa and Google Assistant availability is here: Sonos unveils smart speaker with support for multiple voice services.

The S in IOT stands for Security.

I bought a Sonos one after contacting Sonos about the support for google assistant. Sonos, do you have any updates on this? I am eagerly looking forward to this.

You will not get anything other than it is coming in 2018. Sonos do not give timelines on product releases.

Thanks for your post, ernestotle. We haven't yet announced a release date for this functionality, hence its exclusion from the update. We will be sure to forward your desire for it, the more the better. Let us know if you need anything else.

2018 is a long time. Buying Chromecast would cost me £30 a sonos unit which is quite expensive considering Alexa does it for nothing??? Come on Sonos - sort it out.

It takes time for Sonos and Google to work out the integration. Both companies will likely need to create new programming on their servers to make it work. Once they feel it's close, Sonos will likely open it up to testers through their beta program. That's usually done a couple of months in advance of the release. Beta testers are required to agree to a non-disclosure agreement so they can't talk about it in public or with people who aren't also testers.

Google Assistant integration might be a bit faster than Alexa integration, since Alexa was Sonos' first step into voice assistants... but personally I'm still expecting it to come sometime in the second half of the year. Sonos has only said "2018"... nothing more specific at this point.

if it really is "the more the better" then I'd like to add my voice here: please bring us the Google Assistant on this lovely speaker! I think Alexa can tell I resent her a little... 🙂
