You need to create a speaker group (assuming the Sonos devices "look" like normal audio cast devices to the infrastructure). I have successfully set up Google Assistant on my Sonos and connected everything to the Google Home app, but can't seem to use all speakers at once. Perhaps this is just not possible but haven't been able to find any information on the topic. Select 'Line-in' in the top right corner of the hamburger menu.
You now have music playing through a beam, 2 one gen 2 and all my google speakers at the same time. You can adjust sync between the speakers through the app, if need be. By default it is set at 76 ms. Cheers from Denmark. The Google Home can only send music to the Chomecast Audio that is linked to the Google Home app on your mobile device.
How to Connect Google Home to Sonos Speakers
Does anything think the $1700 spent is worth it if I will use it just for a HT setup or would I be better of getting separate receiver , fl. I refuse to think that Google had to scramble at the last minute to release this messy app experience. It must’ve known the ruling was coming and anticipated the negative result, even as a ‘just in case’ option. There’s no reason why this app should be this buggy for everyone trying it, and no reason why it should be sitting at a 1-star rating average from everyone who’s used it. Alas, this is Google, and it likely waited until the last minute indeed.
You may need to “set up” your Chromecast Audio in the Google Home app, so tap the words “SET UP.” NOTE… You can easily set up a new Google Home on this screen, too. Open the Sonos app on your device, tap the hamburger menu in the top left corner, and select Line-In from the menu in the app. You are going to need the Google Home app. If you have a Google Home running in your house, you likely already have this app on your mobile device. Are you using the same Google Account on your mobile device and in the Google Home app? On the lock screen of some Android phones, you can quickly pull up smart home controls.

Is there an addon, script or similar that lets the Home Assistant instance act as a Chromecast receiver? So I could then select the Assistant in the Chromecast menu, which could then theoretically forward the sound to the SONOS system. This basically solves the opposite problem. Getting something into AirPlay, but Sonos already does that.
There’s also an easy toggle for the mic if you want added privacy. InJanuary 2020, Sonos brought a patent infringement case against Google targeting Google's smart speakers, the Google Home, and later the Nest Audio line. To hear Sonos tell the story, Google got a behind-the-scenes look at Sonos' hardware in 2013, when Google agreed to build Google Play Music support for Sonos speakers. Sonos claims Google used that access to "blatantly and knowingly" copy Sonos' audio features for the Google Home speaker, which launched in 2016. There are dozens of apps that support Chromecast, but here we're going to concentrate on ones that are audio-focused. Apps include Spotify, Pandora, YouTube Music, TuneIn and more -- go here for a full list.
Chromecast with Google TV
With the simple push of a button, I am able to control the status quo of said electronic. You only need to connect your Sonos speaker to a Google Home if it doesn't have an integrated Google Assistant. The Sonos Beam and the Sonos One speaker both have an integrated Google Assistant.
In either case, it’s clear Google is intending to expand its lineup of smart home audio devices. Only time will tell whether that’s for the sake of the Pixel tablet, a refresh of the Chromecast Audio, or something we haven’t yet imagined. I've seen some old posts on this topic, but nothing recent. I'm just wondering now that Sonos seems to support Airplay 2, I suppose they've lost a bit of a grip on a closed ecosystem already. If this is the case, Sonos needs to stand on its own as a speaker/amp company more so than as a closed ecosystem. So I wonder if they have any plans to do the same with the Chromecast world.
Control smart home devices added to the Google Home app
One issue I had is that you need to create a home group to link Chromecast audio with Google Home. The Chromecast Audio is a flat device that’s the same size as a miniature English Muffin . New devices should appear on the main page of the Google Home app.
Either tell me the exact model number of your TDK speaker, or send me a photo of the outputs it has. Yes, you are going to need Chromecast Audio devices for each of your Sonos Connect units. The Sonos Playbar, Playbase, and Sonos Sub also lack analog audio inputs, so they can’t connect to a Google Home either. Receive expert tips on using phones, computers, smart home gear and more.
We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password. I want to connect my audio system to google but unfortunately I only find a way to connect my move in Bluetooth to Google. If you don't see a command you'd like to use, you can create a new "applet" command by following the instructions provided by IFTTT. You are prompted to allow IFTTT to work with Google Assistant and Sonos products for the commands you select.
If you turn both of them on, only one will work, most likely the scale. To use the IFTTT commands, go to the On/Off button and click it to say On, then browse to add any additional prompts. There may be situations where a Boost wireless extender setup is needed.
I prefer Chromecast over Airplay since you can CC from Android & iPhone, but not true for Airplay. Wife has an Android Pixel 3 and I have an iPhone. I plugged the Mini in and saw it pop up in the Google Home app, which asked if I wanted to set it up.
Next, you are going to have to select your default music streaming service. You are going to need a music streaming service. With the Chromecast Audio and the Google Home you can use Spotify, Pandora, Google Play Music, YouTube Music, tunein, or Deezer. Drag a slider on the tile to gradually adjust. For example, you may be able to dim your lights or change the volume on your speaker or display. The app works, except for when it doesn't.
