Adding my voice to the mix (excuse the puns) because it’s incredibly important to me and a large portion of Sonos’ customer base.

Supporting the integration of Home Assistant Voice - just wake-word integration like the existing Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, would make this the ultimate multi-room audio setup for smart home users. Sonos would become the number one pick for all smart home users, providing options for cloud or local voice control of smart home integrations, plus high quality consumer sound systems. It’s your market to corner!

Please, Sonos, consider working with the team at Nabu Casa to provide support for local voice control of Home Assistant using your smart speakers!

        I made a community account specifically for this. Apart from just wanting to get rid of Amazon and Google products, I want my entire smart home ecosystem to live offline. I made the switch to Home Assistant about a year ago but their voice assistant is currently… not great. I’ve held off on buying more Sonos products as I work through this but if Sonos was able to work as an offline voice assistant with Home Assistant, I would be all in on Sonos.

        Such a device, living offline as you describe, would need to have huge amounts of memory, in order to store all the various voice recognition and executable actions for each type of device it could control. Not sure at that point it is really a speaker, but let’s see what Sonos does. Given their current mission is whole home audio, rather than whole home control, I’ll be surprised if they move out of their current system usage.

        I think the ask is that the voice command gets passed to the user’s home assistant (HA) hub device for processing.  All Sonos would need to do, theoretically, is translate the speech to text, recognize that it should pass the text to HA, and pass the text.  This is what appears to be happening with the Hue integration. 

        However, I’m not convince that it works that simply.

        I direct the OP, and any other first time posters, to this thread:

         

        Where even the most ardent HA supporter admits the number of HA households who also have Sonos is miniscule (under 0.5%).
