Isn't there some kind of beta with google home at the moment?

If there is, it is protected by a strict NDA.

I think Chromecast will be intergrated. How can it not be? This is one of Google's main functions and works on all other Google enabled speakers I can think of. I think we may be surprised at functionality when we finally get it. One thing that won't be coming though is Bluetooth.

I think you’re right. All indications point that way. AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Alexa Cast, Sonos Direct Control, the only thing missing is Chromecast. Spence has changed the direction of the company from extremely proprietary to extremely open. That’s a very good direction, IMO.

I'll be happy as long as it does not have the Alexa sound dipping issue.

Alexa no longer has a dipping issue. See other thread.
