Sonos Voice Control

Coming June 1?https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/4/23056149/sonos-voice-assistant-features-release-date?“Hey Sonos” will be the wake word for Sonos Voice Control, and the company’s internal tests show it to be quicker than competing assistant services at core music tasks.I would love to see the ability to play songs from my personal music library using Sonos Voice.

This is a completely speculative question that can’t be confirmed yet but I’m just wondering if people think it’s possible. Based upon what I’ve seen and what’s coming up, it really looks like a strong possibility to me.Sonos previously purchased a voice assistant company called Snip a while back and it’s currently looking to hire someone to lead their Home Theater OS department. While thinking about how they could then use their own voice assistant to control not just music but TVs as well, I also remembered that Matter is being delayed to this Fall as well.Suddenly this all made me realize something. What if Sonos is going to take advantage of this and create not just a music/tv voice assistant but a full blown home voice assistant that suddenly will have access to tons of Matter compatible devices this Fall, thus making Sonos no longer dependent upon third-party voice assistants like Google, Alexa, & Siri?Be interesting to see how this unfolds and if it becomes a reality or not.
