I know this has been brought up before, but a while ago. Wanted to show some support for it again.

I have Sonos Speakers, which I love, and I’m starting out with my more privacy-focused smart home through Home Assistant. Sonos Voice Control was been really helpful on the privacy front! Having another privacy-focused option as the voice assistant would be great! I can control an Alexa and a Google Assistant smart home, so why not Home Assistant as well?
Thank you!

    Memory constraints? There would be the need to store a bunch of additional voice commands, and what to do about each, as well as writing the integration aspect to all the devices.

    No objection to the request, but Home Assistant integration is a little out of Sonos’ wheelhouse, which seems to be audio.

    Hey ​@chaseplace, thanks for raising this. I would also appreciate a Voice Assistant integration for Home Assistant. It would increase the value for the Sonos devices and probably also open a new market as Home Assistant is quite popular and users are looking for these kind of devices.

    ​@Airgetlam, I think there’s not much more than an API integration that needs to be added. The devices that have microphones and are already compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Sono’s own voice assistant, probably already have the wake-up word processor integrated. The commands do not need to be processed by the Sonos device, this is managed by Home Assistant itself, either by running them on a local agent or sending them to a cloud agent of your choice.
