You can now give voice commands via Google Assistant to the Sonos One wireless speaker or Sonos Beam soundbar.
Google Assistant has finally arrived on the Sonos One smart speaker and Sonos Beam soundbar, via a free software update in the United States.
Sonos says that the update will be rolled out to the “UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, France, and The Netherlands” in July, with “additional countries to follow”.
The company originally promised both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support back in 2017, and despite a number of updates to the Sonos One – including AirPlay 2 support – Google Assistant hadn’t been among them until now.
The integration with Google Assistant means that Sonos One and Sonos Beam users can “easily start a song, queue a TV show, check the weather, and control the smart home” by giving voice commands to the built-in assistant.
