No Google assistant option to add as a voice assistant

Hello.

 

I’ve done most things I can find on internet to add google assistant to Sonos. Linked google home to sonos, have USA in profile, re-installed app, …

I just can’t get an option to add GA in Sonos. Any ideas? I can add Alexa and sonos native assistant, but cant find GA.

Thanks

V.

    Yea, tried that. I can only see Alexa and Voice assistant from Sonos. No option to select GA.

    Are you in one of the Countries/Locations mentioned in this link:

    If you are, then ensure your online Sonos profile ‘country’ settings are also set correctly.

    And it’s always possible that Google uses a different method than the data ‘reported’ to them by Sonos for the location of the account. You sidestepped the question above, by merely stating you set your Sonos location to the US, and didn’t say where you actually are. Google could be using any number of other location verification processes.

    Could be, but in that case Alexa wouldnt work either. I’m from Slovenia.

    No, Alexa (Amazon) may use a totally different verification method. They’re two different companies, and unlikely to do things the same.
