New Google Assistant SiriusXM integration not supported?

Google just released native support for SiriusXM via the Home app.  It is listed as a “radio” service.  I can use voice commands to start and stop stations just fine on the actual google home products (Hub, mini’s etc), however when I attempt to target my Sonos system for playback I am told by Google Assistant that the device is not supported.  For example, I say to my Home Hub “Sonos Kitchen play Phish Radio on SiriusXM”.  Google Assistant recognizes the command as valid with something like “OK playing Phish Radio on SiriusXM on Kitchen” ; immediately followed by “Sorry kitchen is not supported at this time”.  Is this a bug or functionality that is not yet built?  Please note that I am logged into the same SiriusXM account on both my Sonos system and the Google Home system.

      Any update on native XM radio support with audio ducking support? Is anyone from the Sonos Product team reading these?

      Hi everyone.

      Currently, we do not have any updates to report regarding integrating Sirius XM with Google Assistant on the Sonos system.

      We strive to include more integration support with music services and although I would not be able to provide a time frame for SiriusXM integration with Google Assistant on Sonos, I have added these correspondences to our feature requests. 

      I would be happy to provide an update as it becomes available to me. We appreciate your patience.

      Can’t believe google assistant is integrated by I can’t get the Sonos to play Sirius using it. What a major fail!

        Using the Sonos One for voice commands is getting aggravating.  It lacks so many of the features available through Alexa and GA.  The ability to play a music service through a speaker is so basic and one of the most common uses of voice commands...I can’t believe it is taking this long to add this feature!

            Jumping on the bandwagon as well… Purchased the Google Nest WiFi last week, love the product, figure I’d give the integration a try for some of the other services, works well.  Ordered a Google Nest Mini with the intention to replace my Echo Dot. 

            Looks like I may just return the Nest Mini as I cannot get the SiriusXM to work even though its linked in both Sonos, and Google Assistant.

            If Sonos needs a tester, hit me up, I’m stuck at home for who knows how long thanks to COVID.  May as well make some use out of us.

              I have found a workaround for this. I have set up voice commands using IFTTT for my favourite stations. It’s not perfect but it works well. There are guides on Reddit if you’re interested in setting it up.

              Another dis satisfied Google customer. Voice commands on Google to stream Serius  XM to Sonos should be a standard capability. I've e mailed both google and Sonos complaining without result.

                Sonos really is a poor company. Sad, actually. In the last 7 months since this post  they've managed to launch new product, release their own music service, major upgrade to the controller, piss off early customers, and the list goes on. 

                 

                Clearly, the feature is not going to be released. Suing Google probably didn't help the matter.

                 

                Sonos, why should I recommend your product to friends and family? Please, help me. What am I not understanding?
