Been waiting for Google Assistant for over a year. Bought my Sonos system because of the promise from Sonos that Google Assistsnt would be available in late 2018. Very disappointed.

Moderator Note: Google Assistant is now available for use on Sonos. Read more here.

I don't hold the person who posted here in any disregard, they only passed on information that had been given to them. I am curious about the reliable source has to say, though.

Through a software upgrade, Sonos One and Beam will support the Google Assistant in the U.S.

Now how the heck am I gonna get this working in Canada?

This is moderately frustrating. I really hope it's available there by default, if not, might have to look into spoofing location or something :@

The functionality will launch in the US initially, “with more markets to come over the next few months,” said Spence.

I know what it said, I read the article. I am not waiting several months for this. I bought it specifically last year because they said it would have google assistant by christmas. I could have bought a nice soundbar and a home hub or something instead, good lord.

You shouldn't buy products based on future features.
Regardless it's confirmed coming. You waited this long, whats another month or so?

Silver lining: At least the American users can iron out any potential bugs that may arise, before it hits your region.

tbh I was just looking for a nice soundbar, but like I said, I was hoping for Google assistant.

Regardless of whether or not it hits my region, you can bet I'll be using it before then 😉

You could always get the JBL Link Soundbar with Google Assistant! Oh, wait....
