Sonos Voice Control now has weather information
Now you can get up to date weather information with Sonos Voice Control (SVC).
Just ask SVC how the weather will be and it will tell you.
SVC will use weather information from Foreca.com, but the voice processing will still happen on the device only and not in the cloud. This ensures that your privacy is guaranteed.
This also means weather information will not be available while you are using the speaker in Bluetooth mode.
In order to use the new weather feature you just need to set your location in the SVC settings as shown in the following animation:
Note: You need to update the app to the latest version to be able to set the location.
Below you can find some general commands you can use:
“What’s the weather now/today/tomorrow?”
“What’s the forecast this afternoon/evening?”
“What’s the weather at 4pm?”
“Is it raining this afternoon/evening?”
“Is it gonna rain tomorrow?”
“Give me the forecast for this week/next week?”
“What will the weather be next weekend?”
Here are some commands asking for more specific weather conditions:
“What time is the sunset today/tomorrow?”
"What's the air quality forecast for tomorrow?"
"What's the temperature"
"What's the wind speed"
"What's the barometric pressure"
You can also ask SVC if you need a specific accessory:
“Do I need an umbrella today?”
“Should I bring a jacket this afternoon?”
“Do I need sunscreen this weekend?”
