Introducing Hue x Sonos Voice Control
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:
- a Sonos Account and a Hue account
- a Sonos product with Sonos Voice Control enabled
- a Philips Hue Bridge or Bridge Pro
- a Hue light or smart plug
- the latest updates (apps and firmware) for both Sonos and Hue
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.
