I'd like to know what the result is of the communities multiple requests for Home Assistant Voice integration, is it in the planning or denied?. ​@Sotiris C.  ​@Corry P 


I would readily jump away from google assistant if Home Assistant was supported on Sonos. Just being able to use existing hardware i already have in my home with home assistant and a local llm is a game changer. People want their privacy Sonos. The only reason i dont use Sonos Voice Control is due to it not having access to my lights/home it only controls the sonos environment, This is such a huge limitation. Sure there is a niche amount of users using home assistant.. which is only because we first had google assistant & Google Home… but that is going to change.. google is pushing its llm which i can personally say i dont want. Stick it to em enable home assistant and let the users enjoy sonos again.

As has been repeatedly stated in multiple threads, Sonos doesn’t pre-announce features that they are, or may be working on. Nor do they deny rumors, which effectively is the same thing. As has been stated before, you can choose to sign up for the beta pool, and hope to be chosen, or wait until such time Sonos decides to release an update that contains what you’re looking for. 
 

No amount of posting will achieve them indicating whether or not they are working on this, much less a release date if it was being worked on. All the mods can do is add your thread to the supplied list of requests, and pass it on to those who take the decisions.

It’s weird to say Sonos don’t pre announce anything when they do it all the time.

Can you tell me when that was as I have missed it.

Even the much asked for, and asked for many years, option to "Disable Sonosnet" addition was only mentioned after it was on the download servers.

Recently Sonos:

  • announced iOS lock screen controls are coming. 
     
  • announced UI changes are coming and solicited feedback

The lock screen controls was an announcement of a policy change, under previous policies they were not available. There has been no announcement of when they are coming. 

The UI changes was a solicitation of suggestions, not an announcement of new features.

 

I'm  done picking nits, feel free to wait for Sonos to answer your request.

https://analytics.home-assistant.io/integrations/

81k of the 60% HA users who share their stats have Sonos integration, so lets assume 135k HA users with Sonos integration.

https://investors.sonos.com/news-and-events/investor-news/latest-news/2026/Sonos-Reports-Second-Quarter-Fiscal-2026-Results/default.aspx

There are 17.1 million Sonos households

Based on above, 0.8% of Sonos households are using HA with Sonos integration. The number using HA voice will be less than the 0.8%.

My guess would be a feature request for 0.8% of users would not get as much attention as features for double digit % of users?

This^^^.  And no matter how many first time posters register and post a new thread about HA support, until the above number gets to a percentage Sonos can’t ignore, the posts are going to be in vain.  I went through the very same thing when requesting an Android controller, and lo and behold, when Android hit 35% of the market, my posts were suddenly answered.  Good thing I was here to let them know, eh?  😁

Regardless of Sonos bending the rules of it’s formerly strict policy against pre-announcing features, aside from two high profile announcements to ward off the swamping of the forum by outside fans (Windows Phone app and Hi-Res music over 48 kHz), they are unlikely to say they aren’t going to support something.  As such, the OP should take the lack of an announcement as definitive statement on it not being forthcoming.  This interpretation is only bolstered by your knee-jerk rebuttal to the post saying they never pre-announce.

Yes I see your logic, how many users are using Google assistant and looking for a fix? Bound to be a good amount of that 17 million. 

My guess is Sonos is working on some product that runs it's own voice assistant and will implement matter.

The moment Sonos integrates something like HA that 0.8% is going to grow...

I’m puzzled as to why you can’t (or won’t) use Sonos Voice Control for your Sonos device since you admit how good the privacy aspect is, and use whatever other system for your lights. There’s no extra hardware associated for Sonos (just the microphone-equipped Sonos speaker), so “being able to use existing hardware i already have in my home” is not a show-stopper to using SVC. 
 

Is it such a big issue to use two systems?

Let me guess, sarcasm isn't your strong suit?  But let's take my statements at face value.  . . When and if HA reaches Android levels of market penetrative then yes, posting in here to request HA support will probably be very effective.

I don't get why Sonos can't say sorry that feature is not planned for implementation.. so far every reaction is we'll pass the feature on to the team. So what is the team doing with the feature? Will it get implemented will it not get implemented. Community is free to speculate all they want of course but a bit of feedback from Sonos isn't too much to ask right? 

Plenty of software companies that offer a little more insight into feature requests and roadmaps.

@nik9669a the problem is that not all devices support Google assistant (roam 2) where I had a roam 1 that did.. a portable house control that SVC just can't do. So running two systems isn't even possible. Sure the devices that do still support GA can but those are clearly a dying race...

@jgatie I caught your sarcasm from a mile away, fact is is I see Sonos staff responding here and was hoping on a reaction from them, I guess that was too hopeful of me.

Sonos has had bad luck with early announcements, both good and bad ones. They learned it is less of a problem to not do them.

The Sonos staff here would probably be looking for new work if they went beyond the Sonos guidelines on what can be said.

Best you can hope for is a feature request or a will pass to the developers. 

 

You might have better odds of an official response on the Sonos reddit, well if you can tag into one of the official Sonos topics.

Sonos very rarely states they are working on something, and even more rare is a statement that they are not working on something.  If I were to guess; their silence on this topic, coupled with the current 0.8% of penetration in the Sonos market; means Home Assistant support is not very high on their priority list (nor should it be).
