Sonos creates speakers that provide quality sound in multiple rooms. Normally, you should use the Sonos app to control your speakers. However, recently Sonos created a line of their speakers that work with Google Assistant to allow you to use the voice assistant to use your speakers.
Although Google and Sonos have gone through lawsuits in the past, you can still connect your speakers to Google’s smart display. Here are the steps to do it. Of course, as always, the first thing you’ll want to do is make sure all your apps are up to date.
How to connect Google Home to Sonos speakers
Although Google and Sonos have gone through legal battles in the past, you can still connect your voice-enabled Sonos speakers to Google’s smart display. Here are the steps to do it. Of course, as always, the first thing you’ll want to do is make sure all your apps are up to date.
Step 1: In the Sonos app, tap settings tab > Services and voice > Add a service. Then tap Google Assistant.
Step 2: Select the rooms you want to set and then tap Add Google Assistant. When you’re done, you’ll be redirected to the Google Assistant app.
Step 3: Sign in to your Sonos account in Google Assistant.
Step 4: You will now need to set up each Sonos device in the app.
You will need to approve the product permission and select a location in the room for the speaker. After that, you’ll choose whether you want the bell to turn on when you say “Hey, Google.” Finally, select the music services you want to add to the system and your default music service.
Step 5: Return to the Sonos app and make sure any music services you added to Google Assistant are also added to Sonos.
Step 6: Once set up, you’re ready to use Google Assistant to control your Sonos speakers.
Now that everything is set up, you can control your speakers with the usual Google commands. These commands include saying: “Hey Google, play music”, “… volume up/down” or “… who is this artist?” With this Google integration, you can also use other commands to manage your smart home, get answers to questions, or manage your schedule.
If you say “Play Billie Eilish”, Google will play music on your default speaker using your specified default service. You can also use voice commands to specify a specific music service and speaker. The voice commands used to control your speakers can come from either the Sonos speaker itself, a Nest Home product (the current name for Google Home products), or another Google Assistant-enabled device — like your phone.
Are Sonos and Google Home compatible?
Once set up using the steps above, you’ll be able to use any of your voice-enabled Sonos devices to control any of your smart home accessories. Of course, you’d still have to say “Hey Google,” but that would allow you to eliminate the need for a Nest Hub or Nest Hub Mini.
Can you connect Sonos Move to Google Home?
You can connect any voice-enabled Sonos speaker, including the Sonos Move. Other Sonos speakers that can use Google Assistant include the Sonos Arc, Beam, Move, One and Roam.
Can you group Sonos speakers with Google Home?
There aren’t many downsides to connecting your Sonos speakers as they provide better sound quality than most speakers at this price and can control your smart home. One major downside is that Google and Sonos don’t let you group Sonos speakers with Nest speakers. As a result, you can play music on your Sonos device or any Nest device, but not both at the same time. Unfortunately, they compete with multiroom systems and that’s not likely to change any time soon.
Google may have the most affordable multi-room audio setup, but Sonos has one of the best-sounding ones, especially at this price. Use these steps to get Sonos sound quality while getting the most out of Google Assistant.
