Has anyone got a method for grouping and ungrouping Sonos rooms using Google Assistant? I've tried IFTTT etc but can't find a way.

      Nope, sonos seem to be holding onto only grouping through the sonos app.
      .
      It isn't a case of Sonos 'holding on' to using the app. I'm sure that they would like to make this possible. Voice control is a work-in-progress on Sonos and this one clearly hasn't yet come to the top of the priority list.

      With Alexa it is now possible to group certain speakers at the point of starting to play music, using Alexa groups. This wasn't available at launch.

      That's kind of what I thought. What does this method solve? If you have Google devices it seems like you can control Sonos without the Harmony although you could use the Harmony if you wanted.

      It’s not yet possible to group Sonos rooms via voice control and GA, this provides a solution.

      Honestly I'm not following then, is this a solution?  Does it in fact allow to play Sonos and GA cast devices together?  If so I followed the steps not nothing happened.

      Does anyone know if Sonos is working to bring this feature to google assistant? It’s extremely frustrating to need to pull up the app if i want to change the speaker groups!
