Hi everybody 💡🔊💡🔊

 

I'm excited to announce that you will soon be able to use Sonos Voice Control with Hue smart lights and plugs! Simply speak to your Sonos voice-capable speakers to turn your lights on or off, change colors, and more. 

 

What You’ll Need

 

When available, you’ll need:

Sonos products with built-in Sonos Voice Control include: Arc Ultra, Arc, Beam (gen 1 and 2), Era 100, Era 300, One, Move, Move 2, Roam, Roam 2, and Era 100 Pro.

Note: Hue bluetooth-only systems are not supported; a Philips Hue Bridge or Bridge Pro is required to keep everything in sync.

 

Available Voice Commands

 

With a simple voice command, you’ll be able to:

  • Switch the lights on/off
  • Dim or brighten lights
  • Change light colors (Hue color lights required)
  • Start scenes
  • Turn smart plugs on/off

Sonos Voice Control is available in US-English and French.

 

Additional Details

 

These new features are part of an update to the Sonos and Hue apps and firmware, rolling out in the coming weeks. Sonos Voice Control commands are processed locally on your speaker, and never stored or sent to the cloud, only to your Hue Bridge over the local network. You can take a look on our website for more about Sonos Voice Control. I’ll make sure to update the sub when this goes live as well.

This is awesome! I’d love to be able to support voice control for Home Assistant as well. That would unlock so much more functionality than just Hue support and would almost certainly encourage smart home users to adopt Sonos throughout their entire home.

it is available now...on my system nothing happens when I ask a voice controlled Sonos speaker to turn a Philips Hue light on or off.

Alexa already runs my house..

You need to go back and thoroughly read the announcement. SVC has been live for over a year. However, the integration with Philips hue hasn’t gone live yet.

And your point is 🤔

Man... I really miss the good old days when the family got together around the tele to watch wholesome entertainment such as Octopoda doing whatever it is they do. Look at them...they are really enjoying themselves. Yeah, I know...I’m a baaaaad boy.  🤣

 

Not sure if I was looking at wrong bulbs?

But goodness those Hue bulbs are insanely expensive and over priced.

No they aren’t cheap. $41-$49_USD. However, they last a long time. Mine have lasted 3 plus years based upon my use. I don’t leave light’s turned on unnecessarily. Which is something I’ve tried to teach my wife. 😂😂😂

Use automations or motion sensors. Some of my hue lights are over a decade old
